Hasn't this 3D shit gone far enough yet? It's even made its way into toothpaste. What the fuck?

dont you know that there are some people in the word who have 2D teeth and are in need of 3D teeth? I think it's wrong that you are completely ignorant of their needs. Just be grateful that your teeth are 3D to begin with.

This whole 3D thing is annoying... I was at the movies last week and every trailer they showed said it would be in 3D. So annoying when a good trailer is ruined by "IN 3D!" at the end of it -_-

I hope this dies fast and people realize how much of a money stealing gimmick this is -_-

Apparently in the US 3D HDTVs are the big thing so prices for the 2D ones have lowered... you shouldn't really complain.

That is exactly what I was going to post, at the movies like 2 days ago, every single movie trailer was for 3D, it was just silly. 'Step it up in 3d' I mean is that REALLY necessary?

I don't need a new TV, I can complain all I want. (honestly one thing being cheaper does not make an entire, annoying craze okay -_-)

at least some of the 3D is being done tastefully, and not doing too many in your face 3D gags that should be left to The Muppets

I'm actually rather content with my 32" LCD at the moment so I really don't need to get a new one. LCD prices have dropped a lot anyway so you can't really attribute that to the "3D" tvs.

The whitening thing is a 3D(ay) thing... yea - they stretched a bit.

The 3D thing is being pushed by the RIAA to studios as a anti-piracy strategy (get people hooked on something new they MUST SEE* in theaters) - despite the year-over year record profits they're making already.

* Of course HD TVs kinda conflict with this; I suppose they're hoping there won't be an easily compressible 3d codec that put 1080p3D video out in a small-enough file-size to get the dumb masses to latch on.

Nintendo probably managed something, 'cause I doubt the 3D movies distribution on the 3DS would do much with a less-than-optimally efficient codec. True, they have a (very) low resolution (vertically anyway), but otoh the ds doesn't offer too much space anyway: sd cards are "only" 64GB at most at the moment (128GB coming in 2011 I think? I might actually be wrong about it all, though, I'm not too knowledgeble about flash cards availability and all...), so there probably is something planned, I think ─ or rather, hope.

well we know 3D is here to stay... It's just about getting over people being idiots with it era.

I dont mind watching the pixar movies in 3D. It does look nice. I just dont go out of my way to see a movie in 3D because of the extra charge. I do want to see a 3D pixar film in IMAX though.

Now Avatar.... I want to watch that in 2D sometime because the 3D messed it up imo.

I would disagree. I think 3d is just a fad and will fade away soon enough.
3d tvs are the big new thing on the market, but are people really buying them?
Honestly, who wants to sit on their sofa wearing big dorky 3d glasses?

Ah at Airbender I got the experience Pwolf did. I got sick of the phrase "In eye-popping 3D!" Seriously, can't they at least come up with a different phrase for each trailer?
