And just think...

Your kids will constantly be sitting on those expensive glasses.  Or they'll get stepped on.  Or lost.

Suffice to say, I don't really look forward to this at the current time.

Erm, yeah, and we'd all subscribe to the virtual girlfriend from Total Recall.  Neither one is coming during this generation.

I have HD capable TVs but no HD signals.  The closest I come to HD is upscaled from XBMC.  My wife won't give up the multi room viewing that the old DirecTivos "provide".  I get the feeling that until DirecTV puts out a true Tivo unit with real MRV we'll be staying SD.

Check into ATT U-verse if it's available in your area.  I just switched to it from Directivos a few weeks ago.  The multiroom is wireless and works a little more seamlessly than the tivos.

I dont see this being nothing more than a niche market as the average football fan couldnt give a rats ass that the game could be in 3D. All they want to see is the picture BIG and CLEAR! If they wanted to see it in 3D, they would have bought a ticket to the game to be there in person. Certain movies would be great 3D but the ones that are 3D now only have a niche market as they are only shown in select theaters or IMAX and rarely released in 3D on DVD or blue-ray.

I remember the HD-DVD vs Blue-Ray war and everyone thought Sony would loose because of the Betamax debacle in the 80's but Blue-Ray won and all the HD-DVD owners are boo-hoo'ing it now.

The average consumer has spoken and said they will only pay $25.00 to $50.00 per month for internet, so any increase in price and the subcriptions will decline. Consumers also have spoken and said they will only pay $30.00 to $60.00 a month for cable/sattelite tv. In my area, Time Warner offers cable, high speed internet and home phone service for $79.00 a month for 2 years. They've won over most of the regular phone companies subscribers that the phone company has almost dropped land lines and are 75% cell phones now!

3D tv channel will go the wayside like ON-TV, Betamax and dial-up AOL!

Just my prediction!
