Anybody else on here on the 3D train?

Having recently finished setting up the projector (bin rescue), screen (£20, gumtree), and working out the glasses required (£20, eBay), I finally got my first taste of home shutterglass 3D.

We watched Pirates!, as I happened to have the disc in 3D already.
3D lends itself well to Aardman’s models and physical sets.
I like 3D best when it’s like looking through a window, or onto a stage.

It also turned out that my steelbook of The Hobbit contained the 3D copy too.
We’re only 30 mins through it, but there are some nice shots (I particularly liked the one of Bilbo watching Gandalf through the window)

I checked with CEX, and 3D discs are now mostly quite reasonably priced. So we went and bought about 70% of the local branch’s stock, for the princely sum of £20.*

While yes, it is a novelty, and a bit of a gimmick at times…It’s fun.
And gives me a bonus inexpensive collectable hobby!

*(Pro-tip: If you’re going to do similar, go when it’s not busy, and apologise to them in advance. The 3D discs are all mixed in with the standard ones, and the poor guys spent about 20 minutes hunting)
