Google stereoscopic 3d and read up on where the technology comes from, how long its been available and what Sony is offering with howmuch they are charging and you may understand some of the slack they are getting.
The idea of stereoscopy is over 100 years old and its been actively used in gaming since mid 90s on the PC. There are tens of millions of 3D capable displays and projectors in consumers hands all of which are locked out by Sony's new strategy. They may be hyping HDMI 1.4 displays...but HDMI 1.4 is basically same as HDMI 1.3 but with a lock out mechanism for anyone that already has 3D equipment. Take Direct TV 3d broadcast of world cup for example. It uses side to side 3D, which is the oldest stereoscopic 3D in the book. However they are locking out their signal to anyone that doesn't have HDMI 1.4 TV.
Only reason Sony, Samsung, LG etc... are pushing it is cause they just clued in they can charge a premium for it and make money off consumers by making them re-buy their TV's, bluray players, receivers and movies... You must change everything to work with 3D.
