i like 3D but i'm really glad i didn't buy a 3D tv. it's obviously a fad.

glasses 3D really is an easy to implement feature, so I think even though it didn't take off it will just be another feature every new TV has, like full HD, 120Hz ,multiple tuners or smart TV and so on

and I think most TVs that released the last year already have it

That's a very good point.  I think what really killed the big 3D push was the fact that the companies didn't get together and come up with a standard before putting 3D in their TVs.  Some went with passive tech, like the movies.  Others went with active shutter glasses, but handled it in different ways, so a lot of glasses didn't work with different TVs.  Then a lot of TVs didn't have built-in emitters for the glasses, so that was another few hundred customers had to drop to get the 3D to even work.  It was just too expensive and, more importantly, confusing to the average shopper.
