Have any of you guys even seen a demo of this new style of 3D? Or are you just blindly hating on it because it's different?

The goal right now isn't to get all day-to-day viewing in 3D, the same way every single thing wasn't in HD in the beginning. Of course you don't need to watch the local news in 3D, but why wouldn't you want special events such as the Super Bowl or the newest action flick in 3D in your home if possible? That's the same thing as people "wearing glasses at an occasional movie", it's to supplement the experience.
And just because they're starting to get the ball rolling on 3D footage doesn't mean that you need to go buy a 3D capable display tomorrow. Again, this is the same as when HD was gaining ground and starting to become affordable for mainstream. 3D has been in DLP sets for a couple years now, and it will be a new feature on the high end flat panels. Just like 120+hz on LCD's, give it a year or two and it will be a feature that trickles down to all the models. So in a few years, when you're ready to get a new TV it won't really be a feature that you need to search for, it will just be supported if you want to use it.

Sony and Panasonic have already said that their new 3D sets will be fully backwards compatible with current 3D shutter technology. It says that in the linked Engadget article. And if anybody was to make their own "version" of 3D technology it would be Sony, if they're on the bandwagon I don't see anybody else steering to far off.
