This is all bullshit. Shoddy writing and bad source material for the writer who ended up writing 4 articles based on the same misunderstanding.

This is how it works. 3D movie pack-ins are being used to sell 3D tvs. You're at the store, you want to buy a 3d tv to watch avatar, but guess what, it's only available for retail as a pack in to this panasonic tv......Or unless you just buy it online (but who would do that, amirite?)

The movies work on all tvs. They are not programmed to work only on certain ones. It is simply that they are timed exclusives corresponding to the actual tv sale.

The article makes mention of only 4 movies being available... check amazon and ebay. There's about 40 3d blurays on there.

I figured that had to be the case. I mean, unless we were using patently different kinds of 3D display technologies altogether, there would be no possible way that the Blu-Ray would be able to identify what kind of TV it was on, and in effect lock you out.

Unless we're getting into a scary new world of total manufacturer control or something.
