Of all the studios that you'd expect to only bundle its 3D Blu-ray titles with 3DTVs, you'd think it'd be Sony, but you'd be wrong. That's right, as rumored, Sony told Home Media Magazine -- in an article with some other fabulous quotes -- that Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs will be the first 3D Blu-ray disc to be available at retail, early this Summer. No clue exactly when that'll be but with Sony's 3D event scheduled for tomorrow, we'd keep a look out if you're interested. Also on deck for 2010 is what will might be the first day and date 3D Blu-ray release, Resident Evil: Afterlife. This one is due in theaters in September so that gives it a fighting chance to beat Disney's A Christmas Carol to market which is due on November 16th. Like Disney's 3D release, both of Sony's will include a 2D Blu-ray Disc in the box, which we interpret as the studios not putting much faith in the backwards compatibility of 3D Blu-ray Discs -- although we're told it could be for artistic reasons -- and will cost more than the standard 2D Blu-ray version.
Two whole titles, feel the rush!
The small percentage of people who have bought a 3d tv are probably feeling the pressure to get some titles.
Right now I am caught in the pinch of holding out for the 3d title for future proofing as I hate having to rebuy movies (screw you 3 month after release directors cuts).
Will have to wait until the ps3 gets 3d support. Also still would prefer a polarization setup to shutter-glass any day. So (for me at least) this technology has a lot of time to mature.
Guess it will be 1-2 years before 3d will get anywhere (if at all).
whoa! 2 titles
It's sad that every other Blu-ray 3D disc released this year will be exclusive to a particular TV or Blu-ray player.
