I'm lukewarm to the idea myself, I mean I just upgraded to Blu-Ray and bought my first HD TV. I don't want to "upgrade" technology again so soon, especially given the price.
Not to mention the recurring point of having to wear glasses, I wear glasses normally (hey I'm a nerd) and hate wearing another pair over them to begin with.
3D is neat and all, but I don't think it's so unbeliably awesome that I want to sink another few thousand dollars into it.
Sony is of course excited because as an electronics manufacturer it makes TVs and such, and as more people upgrade their systems there are less sales for them to tap, and they gradually have to lower the prices to get to the remaining market. A new gimmick that actually goes mainstream like this could basically allow them anothr "boom time" right on the heels of the last one.
While Sony runs Playstation, I think people here sometimes forget that Sony is not a one trick pony. It's a monolithic mega-corp, and arguably the inspiration for some of those "Japanacorps" in old school dystopian science fiction. Nobody knows how big Sony actually is, but their big thing has always been hardware like TVs, Rice Cookers, and video machines. They have also broadened into things like running their own movie and music studios. The thing is they own so many companies that it's hard to tell at times if your actually dealing with Sony in the final equasion.
. I need to start searching for good doctors.
