3dtv questions
 
found a good deal and ended up picking up a LED 3dtv this morning.

i know content is limited at the moment ,but anyone have any suggestions as of good 3d content out there?
hows GT5/black ops in 3d?
any "must have" movie titles?
online sources for content?
and what about pc games? is the nvidia kit required?

there are only a handful of movies in 3D blu-ray.... avatar would be the best bet, but its for panasonic 3D TV owners only.

GT5 is pretty good with the in car view... anyways, there are really nothing for the 3DTV shit... I've only used it a few times with mine... usually just let friends see how its like

most 3D movies are locked to different brands so they kind of screw you

your best bet is to download the 3d disc

its either that or buy a different branded piece of equipment for each movie u want ;)

you can go to blu-ray.com for 3D blu-ray disc reviews there are a couple that are not worth buying

If anything is gonna kill 3DTV, it's this kind of bullshit. Don't these idiots realize they're shooting themselves in the foot with these kinds of antics?

damn, now thats a pretty stupid move for them, content should be universal.

but anyway, arent there some sort of nvidia or 3rd party drivers out there allowing 3d content in games? even Pre-3dtv era games

I think it's more like a timed exclusivity thing, kinda like exclusive console releases... eventually, all the rest will get it.

It's still stupid (assuming it's true). What if I have two different brands of 3DTVs in the house? Does that mean I have to have two copies of each movie?

Is this presumably based on different manufacturers using different 3D technology? What happens then when you get into broadcast 3D (like HNIC)? Is that only going to work on certain TVs?


Even just the need to check a movie when you buy it, to make sure it will work with your specific TV... that alone is enough to turn your average consumer off of the idea. People don't want to have to think about shit like that. There are enough different factors to consider when researching a new TV, without needing to worry if it's going to work with future content... just ask anyone who has an HD-DVD player at home.

I think the movie will work on any equipment but for a movie like Avatar you have to own a Panasonic TV to be able to buy a copy of the movie.

johny 12-27-2010 12:35 PM

that's pretty gay if only some movies work on some TV's. what a way to kill the whole thing.

sarger604 12-27-2010 12:55 PM

the vendor locking thing is very gay. This technology has a ways to go before its ever mainstream.

604nguyen 12-27-2010 04:58 PM

nvm
for example movies like avatar 3d is a panasonic exclusive, meaning that only people who bought a panasonic tv gets a copy of the movie. The movie itself isnt locked or anything, so you can watch it on other TV's, you just cant buy it yet in the store.

Soundy 12-27-2010 07:17 PM

^That makes a lot more sense.

BTW, Shaw now has 3D content on their Video-On-Demand service:

yeah that's it

i think Avatar 3D is supposed to be available for everyone next year.... im not too sure on that one though

anyhow blu-ray.com is where i get my info on all that

604nguyen 12-28-2010 09:57 AM

any of you guys know if telus will have 3d content?

ime2006 12-29-2010 04:56 AM

There are tons of 3D on torrents..............
Plz dig deeper..........
My fds has whole load 3D contents in BD about 2TB already.
Like Avatar, How to train your dragon, IMAX Under the Sea, Shrek 1,2,3,4, Resident Evil 4, Alice WonderLand,...........etc. Shit loads man...

Also, there are shit loads of 3D movies are coming in 2011....so on.
Just think about how many 3D movies in the theatre now............

Hot movies like, POTC 4, Transformers 3...etc. are all in 3D next yr.
Most likely, All the Action, Si-Fi movies will be all in 3D very soon. Only drama's will stay 2D.
Plz check more on movie trailers...you'll find even more 3D.



It's all about how you think, how long you ganna keep your TV.
If you are the person who is changing TV every 2 yrs. I would wait.
But, If you ganna keep your new TV for like 5~7 yrs, I would go for 3D if the price is right.

dj bally 01-02-2011 11:10 PM

i agree with ime2006 there is a shitload of 3D content out there just dig deeper. In 2011 3D content is gonna blow up big time including hockey games and shit like that this year all your gonna hear is "now in 3d".

604nguyen 01-03-2011 01:56 PM

Guy_LikeWhoa 01-03-2011 04:50 PM

black ops is awesome in 3d. when aiming down the iron sights its like you got the real freakin gun in front of your face. so awesome.

604nguyen 01-03-2011 08:45 PM

604nguyen 01-06-2011 08:30 PM

.Renn.Sport 01-08-2011 05:23 AM

nice... found a shit load of fake 3D Blu-ray disc for 10 RMB each in china!
all of them are BD50, all copied from the original ISO!

StylinRed 01-08-2011 07:12 AM

10rmb how? oO zero-profit? (even negative profit)

cheapest place you can get blank discs, even in bulk, its still like $2usd a disc (super bulk) and that's not retail its like $4-6 retail a disc (in bulk)

+ they have to burn the movie and make profit for the movie... and pay for the employees etc

id believe 20-40rmb (considering it costs like 150rmb+ legit regular non3d)

and since the story is coming from you i call bs :)


(plus theres not that many 3d blu-rays available for download even yet; so its only a "shit load" if you mean 40ish)
