VM should stop playing catch-up to Sky on 3d and start playing catch-up on HD...

I wonder how many people actually own 3D HDTVs in the UK. It seems ultra niche at present, unlike HD, which has been the standard for a good few years now.

"Not many" would be my guess, but as the price difference comes down it will look like more are adopting as most people buying a new TV will want to "futureproof" it to some degree. How many are actually watching 3D is probably the question that Sky and Virgin won't answer if it's embarrassingly low.
If you want to experience the muted dark colours of 3D, watch Avatar on Sky Premier SD today with sunglasses on :)

I have just bought a 3D HDTV and find it exciting and worth the extra but I am fed up with the false adverse comments from those without this great step forward.hyrofi
