The new x-box and playstation will be 3D by default. That will help push 3D onto us.
The problem with 3D now, is they keep re-birthing old technology, because that is all they have, and everything is invested in that. However, some of the new "soft 3D" is winning the market. (No more shutter glasses and flickering, yet not quite as sharp and deep. This helps people get use to the fixed-plane problem, which is purely psychological and easy to overcome, which is what the first post was trying to say.)
The new game monitor for PS3 uses the soft-3D. That gives you 3D or you can use a special set of glasses (Which is just two left-eyes and two right-eyes) to give both players a full screen, on the same screen. Each player has a full-view, which the other player can not see, but those are not in 3D.
Until they fix the depth-blur, 3D will always seem artificial. (That is because they keep making digital camera's and recordings have wide-focus, where everything is in focus more than it would be in reality, at the same depths.)
But if you got the money to burn... it IS a fun toy.
Note, if you have an astigmatism, 3D-perception is altered, and you will NEVER enjoy 3D without correction glasses and 3D glasses. (Astigmatism reduce 3D depth in the world, but brains adapt and guess better, though incorrectly. That can't be undone by just throwing on 3D glasses, without first getting use to the world in true 3D with corrective glasses. Even if you don't "need" glasses to focus, as some astigmatisms don't, because glasses are for unfocuesd eyes, not un3D eyes.)
