    That would be the cheapest way to go but I wouldn't really call that 3D. Totally you will not get the same feeling like the one wearing the glasses.

    3D will obsolete in a few months. I'm waiting for that SnS (scratch-n-sniff) to roll out.

    Overrated, absolutely...To me, by putting on the glasses, you lose the HD quality...you might as well be watching crap in standard def...plus it costs more, for what...so crap will appear out of the screen...eh...not for me...

    Avatar's 3D wasn't earth shattering for me. It was intriguing for about 20 minutes, and then I just kinda got used to it and forgot that it was in 3D.

    Same here. I'm of the minority that was so-so on 3D after a bit into the movie (saw it both in IMAX 3D and RealD) and strangely I thought the picture quality seemed "low" compared to 2D.

    When I saw Avatar on Blu-Ray on a 2D high-end projector, I was blown away. There's something about watching a beautifully-shot movie in 2D/1080p like Lord of the Rings or Baraka without having to wear glasses or have people jostling for a better viewing angle.

    The industry loves it, since they can sell new gadgets, but I'm skeptical. I certainly don't plan to replace my TV to get it, but I'll give it more consideration when that time comes.

    mostly, i think it is, at least in its current state.

    I've seen a handful of 3d movies and Avatar seemed to be the only one where the 3d added a whole new element to the movie.

    I've never watched any sports games in 3d so i'm not sure what that would be like. Maybe cool...maybe just blah. I do think that as the technology improves over the next several years, 3d may finally earn its keep

    The 3D in Avatar was cool (just about the only good thing to say for this movie), and I also took the kids to Shrek in 3D just so they could see what 3D was like. Now that I've done it and the kids have done it, I feel no compunction to watch anything else in 3D. If the price was the same, okay. But, it's not, and it's not really worth extra money.
