RE: Anyone else considering going 3D?

Posted by JimL on January 9, 2010 at 10:51:16:
Cost aside, the problem is softwware. DVD went slowly at first because of lack of software, but because there was an obvious improvement in quality compared to VCR it went fast once the software was there. But DVD had the advantage of having 100 years of software already in the vaults (i.e. movies, old TV) just waiting to be transferred to that format. 3D doesn't have that advantage - there is almost NO 3D content waiting to be transferred, and what there is, is mostly schlock, made for novelty value rather than something that people would want to watch again.
