    The article mentions previous productions in theaters and other venues, but nothing about in-home viewing. I wonder how they'll set that up...what additional equipment (besides special glasses) it will require.

    I know my TV is 3D ready. If I played PC games, I'd actually get a lot of 3D use out of it too.

    I'm not sure how much additional equipment is needed for most people, but all I need is like an add-on pack plus the glasses (and not the red/blue paper ones).

    I wouldn't think it'd be much different for anyone with a 3D ready set.

    To get the best 3D picture though, I'm pretty sure you need a TV that isn't on the market yet (one that accepts HDMI v1.4 I mean)

    Nice idea I'd like to see it in action especially since I'm guessing a relatively small number of US households have the ability to get 3D TV.

    Considering how long it took to get us away from analog TV signals, I'm not seeing this one catching on anytime soon personally. If people are so leery of HD or blu-ray, 3D won't catch on until the time that super hi-vision is ready to come out (I'm waaaay more excited about the possibility of 22.2 than of super hi-vision by the way).

    I also want 10.2 before 3D. :lol:

    i really dont like this. just as people are finally coming around to HDTVs and blu-rays in large numbers and then they throw this at us? ive sunk a little over $3000 into my 2 TVs over the last year or so

    ive seen the list of 3d compatible TVs currently and its very small. i wonder if this will catch on

    its very off-putting to think all my and millions of other's equipment will be rendered obsolete
