I'm aware of those two methods. The former red/blue anaglyph method was also used on standard DVD in The Nightmare on Elm Street collection as well as Oxygene remastered. But because the lens are red and blue it destroys the color of the image.

Mitsubishi's effort is more in line of what I am talking about, but without a BD standard discs will not be authored for it. Studios need to know what format to encode, what method to use, etc. The Mitsu player looks like it will only be used to make 2D movies look more 3D, which again is not true 3D. Mitsu's 3-D player will sort of be like the "Prologic" compared to true 5.1, except for 3-D if you know what I mean.

For true full color 3-D we need a Blu-ray standard as it will require special encoding on the discs. I think this is worth breaking compatibility for, as if there is no provision for it I believe it is a virtual guarantee that BD will be outdated in the not-so-distant future by a 3-D format.

The bandwidth/space and capability is there... use it! Let's get a 3-D profile so we don't have to rebuy all the new 3-D movies like Beowulf in true 3-D!
