I don't know about you but I really don't think this will ever take off. The fact of wearin glasses to watch TV is riduclous and the cost of a 3D TV is big money and to produce the programes isn't cheap either. I expect a big fail on this one.

Was in a Sony shop the other day and they had a viewing area set up for 3D,Its the first time I have ever seen anything in 3D and I was very impressed.
They had a video with Golf,American Football and Soccer and I thought it was unreal.
Certainly better than say HD as I don't see any difference between HD and normal TV.
Not sure if I would buy it just yet but I do think it will take off,I can see technology advancing to the point where you might not need glasses with it being built into the TV or something like that.
At the moment I agree the glasses are ridiculous,the ones I had on were massive and fairly heavy

The American Football is nuts. I saw it in Harvey Norman, it was the Patriots Panthers superbowl. Jaysus it felt like I was playing middle linebacker for the Panthers. I almost went for an interception as the ball flew down past me at one stage.

This was different Billy. It was like you were on the field. I've become used to sitting on my arse for sporting contests at this stage, so the reactions are different :)

How much would a 3D TV cost?

Went to a pub to watch a premiership match in 3D towards the end of last season.

Went to see Ireland v England in the 6 Nations in 3D in a cinema earlier this year, was really surprised by how good it was, at times you'd almost convince yourself you were on the sideline in Twickenham, you were nearly trying to back out of the way when Rory Best was coming over to take a line out throw.

That was with a cinema screen and surround sound though, I don'y know how it would work at home.

I dunno I couldn't see any major difference in the two at all.

HereIam, to echo Laoislads point. Imagine your profile picture there in 3D.

The technology will get cheaper given time like everything else.
