When you lack the $$$, it is better to pretend something doesn't exist. And most people since lack the contact with it to really be able to notice how it's different.

I don't miss the Ferrari I've never owned, see?



So,how is it different? In my personal opinon 3D is nothing but a gimmick. It's just an excuse for these companies to get more money out of the consumer. I Don't lack the money to get a 3D T.V.,but that does'nt mean that I want it.

It adds plenty of depth to the image and it could open new doors in the development of movies, normal TV and games. If you don't care about it, fine, no one has nothing to do with it, but there's plenty of people that do or it would if exposed to it.

But be careful calling things other people admit to like as gimmicks... they could have similar opinions about the stuff you like or obviously prefer.

But 3D is a gimmick "In marketing language, a gimmick is a unique or quirky special feature that makes something "stand out" from its contemporaries. However, the special feature is typically thought to be of little relevance or use. Thus, a gimmick is a special feature for the sake of having a special feature." As of now 3D is just that, maybe in the future there will be a time when games and movies will be 3D for real practical reasons and won't degrade the experience with glasses that degrade image quality (brightness contrast etc) But today the 3D effect is nothing but a marketing ploy, Which Avatar used very well.
