While the amount of 3D content is still small, Hollywood in recent years has boosted its output of 3D movies in an attempt to lure people into theaters. There will be around 7,000 3D screens by the end of 2009, according to Sony.

Panasonic says it’ll include special glasses with its 3D set, but it’s unclear if that means one or several pairs. And what will the glasses cost? Most home theater fans will probably want 2 to 4 (or more) pairs of glasses, an expenditure that could add a lot of the 3D outlay.

If prices of 3D TVs fall rapidly & assuming the glasses aren’t too pricey, 3D entertainment could have a future in the home. In addition to movies, gaming is another realm where 3D has potential. Sony plans to add 3D capability to its PlayStation 3 console. And you can bet that Microsoft and Nintendo have similar intentions for the Xbox and Wii too.
