Well i remember reading something last year possibly the year before about them filming Gladiators in 3D so this could be a reasonable date, but how many people have even got / will buy 3D capable TV's ?
Quite happy with the screen I have and certainly couldn't justify upgrading (even for want of new toys) anytime soon. Like the article says, knowing Sky, they'll want to charge a premium for bugger all content. Pixar and the like will be 3D, Cameron's at it with Avatar and it appears the major studios are edging towards that tech. Obvious why, paying bums on seats at the cinema; pirate copies won't be useful for many and cameras won't be of any use (:rolleyes:). It'll be a few years yet before there's a decent schedule worth paying for.
on demand service would be good, i guess it would allow access to skyplayer-esque program via sky box in turn connected to your sky routers green ethernet port, hopefully removing the need to have it hooked up via my phone line
Is their just me that really doesn't like 3d? given im long and short sighted they don't tend to work lol.
@Jasp - I took my daughter to see Ice Age 3D yesterday, and while the technology was effective, I found that after a while the experience was physically uncomfortable. I used to be - perhaps still am - slightly long-sighted. On the 3D side, it was fun, but I don't feel an overwhelming desire to go out and chuck my current HD screen.
Although ive not experienced current 3D, O/LED is whats on my radar when it comes to new displays.Quote:

Anything that tricks your brain into thinking it's seeing something different, seems highly likely to cause that effect...Quote:

Its true, most people will not be able to watch 3d images for a long period of time. Our brain can't handle the information for long periods and in turn causes our eyes to become what feels like tiredness...Quote:
