Perhaps 2D games can be given some sort of pseudo-3D effect, but I do not see how it could just magically make 2D games into 3D...The only truly 3D games would be ones which were made with that in mind.

All I've read about Avatar suggests 2011 for 3D Blu-ray.

As for "many more"...Like what though? I think the majority of 3D movies released so far have been crap, due to crap post-production 3D (e.g. Clash), or due to just being crap (e.g. Clash). Other than Avatar, there haven't really been any stunners, just a few "good" or "not bad" ones such as the odd horror movie or animated movie. Hardly a great deal of movies, certainly not enough to justify (IMO) spending SEVERAL THOUSAND POUNDS on a ridiculously expensive television. I wouldn't spend it just to watch Avatar, no matter how stunning it is, & I certainly wouldn't spend it to watch stuff which is inferior to Avatar.

I don't think it's the way forward, not yet. So far, all it seems to me is a way for Hollywood to rake in extra $$$ by 3Ding things, which don't need it, on the cheap & charging extra for tickets.
