3-D TV's Don't Make The Cut - (IMO)

I will start off by defining what the acronym, "IMO" means.

Definition: In My Opinion

I'm sure there are many of you out there who have separated yourselves from the text lingo that's become an integral part of today's society; not just amongst the youth. No easy feat, that's for sure.

Moving on...

So, Jimmy Kicks and I hit up a local Best Buy to see what they had going on. Jimmy hadn't seen the new 3-D Televisions in action and I thought it would behoove (Husky's word of the year) him to check them out for himself.

After checking out the various cameras, Apple products (new iMAC owner here - whoot! whoot!), and many other miscellaneous doo-da's and gadgets in the store, Kicks n' I, see a leather couch (that's how Best Buy roll's now-a-days) where the 3-D set up was. To our surprise, they had the movie Avatar playing. Must have been a special demo copy given to the store, because that movie - in 3-D - is not out yet. No siree-bobsky. Actually, it's not slated to be out until next year - if my "sources" are correct. It's all good though, I was stoked that it was on - I mean - what better movie to showcase the newest fad right?

Here's a quick "Play-By-Play":

• First thing we noticed when we arrived at the electronic's section in the store was the leather couch (bow-chica-wow-wow!), which was very reminiscent of the one at Jimmy Kicks' house.
• The second thing was the movie.
• Followed, by the large 3-D glasses sitting on the table in front of the Sony Television (name drop).

The scene was set for the ultimate demo/showcase of this new 3-D technology.

Or was it?

BUST ALERT!!!!

It took Jimmy all of 30 seconds with the glasses on (as seen in the image above) to recognize that this technology was nothing but hype and no more than the next technological fad. I put them on to confirm and without hesitation I concurred. While this is not a "formal" review of the 3-D technology, it still warrants 2 Dog Paws on "Husky's Dog Paw" rating system out of 5. Once ESPN 3-D kicks off, and some of the other 3-D bells and whistles, I intend to give the whole 3-D experience a full video review. This would encompass televisions, Sony's PS3, which will have 3-D movie and gaming capabilities (by September), as well as review the various satellite and cable providers whom are said to be bringing 3-D channels of their own.

You heard it here first though, Husky Downs is predicting that this 3-D fad will lost its luster by 2012.

The last statement was made as a statement in itself, with no barring to the fact that mankind, animal life, and civilization as a whole will cease to exist following the Mayan's prophetic words based on the Mayan Calendar.

Truth.
