Cool, do the dorky glasses come with it? Even the nicest polarizing glasses look kind of dorky, though supposedly the theaters playing a 3D version of a movie sell 3x as many tickets, so maybe it's being accepted.
I think Blu-Ray might be promoted here for two reasons, the standard allows a higher constant bit rate because it's running at a far higher frame rate. I think most downloads are 24 & 25fps, to do the same, they need to encode 48 & 50 fps progressive to get the same effect as film, otherwise it will look like 12fps strobing. Doubling the data that needs to be encoded also means cutting the effective run time on a disc. I think Mitsubishi is on the Blu-Ray consortium as well.
