Samsung Revolutionizes 3D!!!

In an effort to utterly revolutionize 3D television as we know it, Samsung, beginning on April 24, will provide not ONE, but TWO pairs of 3D active glasses for its entire 3D TV lineup. But... wait for it... they will do so at no additional cost to consumers who buy any 3D Samsung LED television. But what if you have a family of four... or five... or more? No problem, Samsung will make additional copies of their 2011 active 3D glasses (SSG-3100GB) for less than $50 per pair. These non-rechargeable 70-hour battery-powered glasses will be available starting on May 1, at which time a family of four can watch 3D for just $100 over the price fo the 3D LED TV itself.

What's that you say? Including a couple glasses won't revolutionize 3D? Oh. Sorry, then. Our bad.

It's just that this press release seemed to really get excited about itself, so we thought we'd jump in full force. For a while now we've been maing fun of the $400 cost of entry for most families, as well as the fact that 3D TVs typically don't come with any glasses. The question is whether or not including the glasses will really serve to generate more 3D TV sales. Those who purchase the Samsung D7000 and above 3D LED TVs or the D6500 and above 3D Plasma TVs will still get the company's 3D Starter Kit (SSG-3100M). These kits include a couple of active 3D glasses, the entire Shrek BD series in 3D and the 3D Blu-ray version of Megamind.
