"Hey billy, Chuck, Dan, Tom, Ralph, and Joe. Sunday: Beer, pizza, football in 3-D! BOOM!"

sunday comes

"here billy wear these, sorry Chuck,Dan,Tom,Ralph. Sorry Joe. I only have two pairs of 3D glasses."

@ $65.00 + a pop you're not going to find too many people willing to buy more than a few pairs. Not to mention the viewing angle is fairly narrow for optimal 3-D results.

Unless you buy a cheap brand like LG. You're still going to pay almost $1,000+ over a same size HD non 3-D TV.

Currently the standard is now HDtv. 56% of american households have a HDtv in them, and it's projected that only 2% of americans will have 3D HDtv by the end of 2011.

It's great if you have disposable income and can buy neat gadgets. As a younger gamer I did just that, I bought a huge TV (multiple!)I bought surround sound systems, I bought consoles, PCs blah blah blah. On a whim I'd go out and buy a couple hundred bucks worth of games. Now, my perception has changed. I have a mortgage, A wife and a family. I'm not going to plop down another $1,500-2,600 for a 3d-tv and another $220 for the glasses. How many of you will be in a similar situation in the future?

The TV market is trying to go the route of cell phones and have people "upgrade"every 2 years. 3-D is todays drive for sales. then it's going to be 3-D w/o the glasses, then after that it's going to Ultra HD sets.

A lot of people just bought a large HD tv in the last few years. 3D is a gimick, I just don't see that 56% of american s who own a HDTV to go right back out and buy a new 3D set so soon.
