Right. I need several programs each week in 3D, that I actually want to watch, before I'll buy one. If we haven't even gone 100% HD, 3D is way off.
My current TV is still a 27" 4:3 tube, and certain networks are still actually clipping the sides off their 16:9 programs to air them fullscreen. I need to watch anything from ABC on channel 507 to see it all. To even GET that "digital*" channel, I need to use a DVR rented from SECTV.
(*Yes, it's all digital, but they're still calling the HD package a "digital tier.")
