A recent study commissioned by the Digital Entertainment Group says consumers are “tremendously satisfied” with the home 3D experience. Did you expect to hear otherwise?

Thanks, Pete, for taking the time to debunk the 'report' so thoroughly. Well done. We need more 'reality checks' like these.
It would have been interesting to know what the average # of 3D Blu-rays people owned, considering that the maximum # available is so low (a pitiful ~1% of all Blu-rays are available in 3D?).
I personally own a 3DTV (a 61" Samsung) and two pair of AS glasses. And the amount of 3D I watch is precisely zero.
Why? Because until there are a reasonable # of 3D Blu-ray discs released to justify my buying yet another Blu-ray player, with 3D support, I won't be. And it will be a Panasonic, since Samsung doesn't make a player that will drive their own TV.

another 3D variable to consider
I have owned a 3D tv since nov. 2010 and have seen a bunch of content and some are ok and some are awsome. That said one of the things that really goes well is tennis. I was watching the tennis this weekend in 2D and after almost a 2 and a half hour match I started surfing the channels and bumped into the French open on a 3D channel on direct tv so I gave it a go and low and behold the camera behind one of the opponents was a great improvement over 2D. Like I said earlier some stuff is just ok but tennis is made for 3D. Seeing the ball coming at you with the depth of field was just plain eye candy.

I own a 58 inch Samsung 3D
Get yourself an Oppo BD93
I got the package deal too with the bluray and 2 pairs of glasses and chose to get the Oppo and then I got the set calibrated by an ISF tech with almost 15 yrs exp. I have direct tv sat. for a cable provider and they have a ton of 3D content to enjoy. By the way I got the set because of its 2D performance and the 3D is just icing on the cake. I hope you got a plasma and not an LCD.
