Not exactly many games though is it. Not yet.

Movies... There have hardly been any truly 3D movies other than Avatar (& some animations), so far, with many using post-production 3D (e.g. Clash of the Titans) & consequently not looking very good. 3D Blu-rays... Avatar isn't out until next year. From a quick search, it seems all that's currently available is Monsters vs Aliens... hardly something that justifies spending several thousand pounds on a TV & all the other bits required.

Sky 3D... How much 3D content will that be showing... other than certain football matches where Sky has had special cameras? Again, there still aren't that many 3D movies, & of those, there aren't that many that are *really* 3D. Also, I don't believe that 3D on Sky 3D can be HD at the same time... there'd be enough bandwidth for HD or 3D but not both at the same time.

I think it's an awful deal for an extra 2 grand. In my opinion, there simply is not enough content to come anywhere close to justifying the extremely expensive outlay.

Give it time... Let the TVs & glasses come down in price, let the content increase in quantity & quality.
