I haven’t really bitten on the whole 3D wave yet. Mainly it’s because I find even the best solutions currently available gimmicky in nature and not really all that great. Another issue I have is having to re-buy a ton of already purchased content in a new 3D format. If you happen to fall into the same boat, Power DVD would like to have a word with you.
