http://www.abiresearch.com/press/1203-Consumers Delaying Blu-ray Player Purchases

"A new consumer survey from ABI Research has revealed a widespread reluctance to commit to a Blu-ray player in the near future: over half of the 1000 respondents, citing “other priorities,” say they have no plans to purchase one; a further 23% are likely to buy, but not until sometime in 2009."


Happens all the time with new tech.


Aversion to Glasses on the other hand is not going to change even with time


People will get used to it I think.

Anyway I'm not a fan of 3D myself so I have no difficulty at all to believe this survey.

No, people won't "get used to it", they'll just wait until glasses free tech comes along.  Not everyone is great big tech crackwhores like us gamers are.  Telling someone they need a $150-$200 set of glasses that are LOCKED TO MANUFACTURER for every viewer is not something people will just accept or get used to. 

Again, the only reason gamers get treated with such contempt is because they let it happen -- non-enthusiasts will just tell manufacturers to go fuck themselves until they figure out how to do it without glasses. 

Especially 1-2 years after buying a brand new shiny HDTV.

The price will go down fast just like everything else tech-related.
