I'm not sure how 3D can take away fromyour movie watching experience since the movies come out in 3D and non-3D formats.

I own a new Samsung 8000 3D TV. I could have gotten a cheaper model just so I didn't get 3D, but I would have gotten a TV with less features and a picture that wasn't as good.

The video games I have played in 3D are spectacular and surely add to the experience of the game. The picture looks the same in 3D as it does without 3D.

I do admit the gimmick of 3D in theatres is a little annoying at times, who wants to see Transformers in 3D? I would rather see it in standard then in 3D so I can get the experience of both. Avatar was a great example of a movie that was better in 3D IMHO.
