by the time you get "saved up" this fad will all be over.
SORRY

Only times knows for sure there Nostradamus.

WELL, "feed the pig" and keep your fingers crossed.
3D is great for a "sprint" like a movie in a theater.
For a marathon like TV watching, has never worked.

I'll sit beside you on this one. I've just invested in HDTV so 3D is a non-starter. During my next tech refresh (10 yrs, if everything stays working) we'll see what's out there. I was on the bleeding edge years ago with computer equipment during my learning years, but these items are entertainment and a commodity for me, so I can wait (and I suppose learning as far as home renos -- what not to do -- and food network).

The DVD player is almost toast so it will be blu when that's replaced. But a multi-disc player to replace the 5-disc CD player at the same time reducing equipment real estate ? Depends on what's on there, inter-operability and definitely functionality. The cd player has front controls and doesn't need the tv to see what you're playing (cd1,cd2 etc.)

This is the case for a lot of people.
And 3D isnt the "must have" that HDTV was.
I know some real people, people with real budgets, and most won't trash that shiny new(or almos new) HDTVjustto get 3D.

But what got me last night while browsing the onscreen cable guide, wasn't a channel devoted to the Masters (golf), or the Masters in HD, but the Masters in 3D !

This is where Google is ahead of the curve and at the right time to look at gigabit to the house. I would have though 3D-HD would have meant doubling the video bandwidth required for any scene, be it a full frame or a differential. Audio would not be any different.
