Is this a joke?

How can Avatar 3D not work on all Bluray players and TVs?

 

All 3D movies will work with all 3D Bluray players and TVs. The article is saying that the only way to get certain 3D movies when they release on bluray is to buy a 3D TV from a particular manufacturer. For example, if you want to buy the 3D version of Avatar when it first releases, you'll have to buy a Panasonic 3D TV, otherwise, you'll have to wait a couple of weeks or months for the exclusivity deal to end.

Actually it doesn't say that at all. It very hevaily implies that avatar will only be on panasonic tvs.

Author doesn't understand what a timed exclusive is.

Yeah, the author of the article doesn't explain the matter very well and it even seems like he is purposely trying to mislead the readers, but if you look it's there (barely).

"...the (3D TV) manufacturer gets the exclusive rights to distribute that movie."
"So anyone who buys a non-Panasonic 3D TV will be systematically blocked out of owning the 3D movie that defined the entire 3D genre. At least for now."

Maybe I should have said "The article should be saying..." :)
