Phillips has sold their 3-D TVs from $3,000 to $12,000. However these televisions were have been pulled due to the recession. The question becomes would the public really spend large amounts of money for an upgrade on their televisions? Jesse Cox, first year, when commenting on the subject said, "I'd have to see one first. I'm not sure I'd just go out and buy the first generation. I might wait until the technology got a little better."

It is not only the television corporations that are taking advantage of the publics new appreciation for three-dimensional media. TV networks have begun announcing that they are converting their station to 3-D. Most recently is Entertainment Sports Programming Network or ESPN where "sports broadcasting will enter a new dimension in 2010, the third dimension" (ESPN).

Many people are still wary about TV channels going 3-D. Robin Reyes, a first year, says, "I am not sure that I would watch it. I feel that 3-D would take something away from the athletics. I want it to be more about the sport and less about the technology."

There are many mixed reviews about the new advancements in 3-D technology. However one thing is clear in the last few years, there has been a move to put three-dimensional media in every household and the world is waiting to see the outcome of such an investment.
