Sky tv are launching their 3D service in autumn in the UK which will include sports, movies and entertainment shows. I doubt the content will be huge at first but it's coming quickly and will likely only grow in quantity.

Not sure about the effect the 3DS will have on living room 3D experience. I think I'm right  in saying (not 100% sure) that the 3DS technology won't work on such large screens with large varying viewing angles. I doubt it will affect many more people than those who already hate the idea of glasses. If it does then it's up to the 3D promoters to change that perception.

hell i can see what your saying about how the tech 3ds is using wouldn't work, but it shows it is possible somehow and will be figured out sooner or later.

thus i feel inclined based on technology advancement to wait this out and not have to worry about glasses.  hell i loose enough shit, and wearing glasses are annoying as heck and bug my ears over time. 

Yeah it's definately possible, hope it does happen as obviously I'd rather not have to wear those glasses. If it doesn't happen in the next few years it probably won't be such an issue as when 3D tvs hit a reasonable price I expect many people will not opt to continue waiting and will just make the jump. To be honest I have little to no interest in watching much 3D tv (although Avatar changed my perception on 3D films somewhat) but I would really like to play Killzone, Motorstorm and GT5 in 3D. Won't be paying anything like £2000 for the ability to do so though!
