"I found it nauseating and unpleasant compared to good traditional film." - The world consensus differs.

I just talked to an A/V specialist last weekend (from whom I've purchased Gallo Reference gear) who absolutely raved about the 3D prospects of Avatar! He's seen it several times projected in different ways, but the IMAX 3D is apparently KILLER (I've seen it in 3D, but not the IMAX 3D). He is already gearing up for 3D sales (most of his clientele are high-end HT enthusiasts).

It WAS at the time (the region/zone blocking issues being what they are for the "BD cartel" nazis), and I have no regrets. My investment was minimal and I have lots of great films to show for it and two fine players that upscale DVDs well. My current BD set-up (with region/zone modified Oppo players) probably bests your own (even if SONY provided your system to you gratis in compensation for cheerleading efforts! ;^>), but please, lets not get into the "mines bigger than yours" debate (you probably feel inadequate enough as it is! -grin).
