Is it time to make the move to 3d?

Sony and Panasonic are selling them to dealers at well below cost to try and move them to pump the sales numbers.

I can't say a word about 3D gaming as my last gaming experience was with my Atari and Colecovision!

While I think there are many reasons 3D is a contender - there are also physiological reasons that it is still problematic, chief among them that the human eye/ mind doesn't parse flat ---> well, resulting in that headache Blue mentions.

I love the idea, and I think there are times it can be very well done (I've seen some really nice anaglyph, actually) - but first, we have to overcome the technological shortcomings of the human body.
