I wouldn't trust the Sears salespeople to know what they are talking about. OTOH if 3D "capability" is cheap to add then newer sets may come with it. I even saw a sub $100 Bluray player on sale that was 3D capable. They are pushing 3D as a new cash cow and it isn't working. On 02/06/2011 10:

Bhairitu, Slate.com has a series of columns on 3D by a guy named Daniel Engber, the most recent of which is a rebuttal to Ebert, including Ebert's post with the letter from Murch. Among other points, he says the more 3D movies he watches, the fewer problems he has watching them. He speculates that

And overhyped to the extent like it was our "national duty" to go see it. Looked just like any other video game to movie using 3D to me. Better use of similar technology and non 3D was the much less costly sleeper "District 9" which did not look like a video game. On 01/25/2011 01:46 PM, whyn
