| theprof00 said: 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. |
Just to clarify, I went to Amazon too and the confusion is that there are Blu Ray 3D releases and then regular red/blue glasses 3D releases. When it comes to Blu Ray 3D, I only counted 1 actual theatrical movie that is available for purchase NOW and that is Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. I saw two more coming by November.
As far as article, I didn't see anywhere in the article that it states that they are programmed to only work on a certain manufacturers Blu Ray player or 3DTV. It only stated that individuals will be BLOCKED from OWNING said movies unless they purchase a respective TV or Blu Ray player. Its a factually correct article and yes, the situation IS that bad.
