speaking of the G25, on amazon right now the 50″ is cheaper than the 46″ ($1,024.75 v. $1,057.75)
I didn’t realize that the time frame was after the movie was no longer in theaters. I misread the original blurb as saying it would be released _after_ it was released in theaters but not necessarily before it had stopped being shown in theaters.
that does change the math.

I don’t think I will ever make use of this, I’m not a particularly big movie watcher so outside of some stupid jason statham movies i dont make it a point to see movies when they come out.
but considering that movie tickets in philly are like $9 even for a matinee I can see this being potentially cost-effective. Consider a family of 4 going for a matinee on a children’s movie. thats 28$ just in ticket costs and now you dont have to worry about getting everyone in the car and to the theater, can pause the movie if your children need something, have your choice of must less expensive food, etc.
Alternately, imagine someone who is wealthy and has a home theater whose experience exceeds the average theater. Wouldn’t you rather pay a bit extra to see a movie.
In short, while I won’t be paying for it I can see the utility and am glad that the service exists. (slipper slope arguments about the analog hole notwithstanding)

i suspect that in the near future (when we have all replaced our current TVs) we will all have televisions capable of 3D and somewhere in a box or drawer we will have the glasses. every now and again there will be something we want to watch in 3D and we will drag the glasses out and watch it, then put them away for weeks/months at a time until the next situation arises.
