3. Few shows now, but games might be the next big thing

As of now, there are few shows, on discs or through cable that offers the 3D format. While that might be the case for the short term, 3D TV owners will probably be seeing more new titles and options once the product catches on.

But if you're a gamer, this technology is probably one you want to keep track of. As an entirely new entertainment experience, game makers are expected to make the transition into 3D graphics and visuals pretty soon.
