Well if watched a TV 20+ years ago, you ain't missing anything. Same sh$t, different decade.

While I do agree with not being an early adopter... The statement of "...technology will ALWAYS be cheaper next year." is not really entirely appropriate.

If you are waiting for "the bottom" you will either a) wait forever or b) wait untill the product is obsolete.

I don't believe I will end up buying a 3D TV, but want to understand it.

I tend to agree that products don't necessarily become cheaper but with electronics such as televisions but the picture quality and technology seem to make a leap after the first gen offerings of the next new thing. So one tends to get more for less so to speak. Think digital cameras for a minute, compare what's available now to products out even two years ago. Digital media in general and the electronics supporting it has been in overdrive the last few years with some amazing leaps forward.

It's too early. We are still in the HD-DVD or BluRay, VHS or Beta, etc... phase of 3D TV. A buddy of mine recently bought a 3D TV. He's normally very smart. The "glasses" are powered and expensive, and only some movies are supporting the Brand of TV that he has, for instance, Avatar supports a different standard than his TV.

I think it's probably better to wait until the "standard" floats to the top.
