Survey says consumers want 3D at home

We've joked that in the next year some will say we might as well change the name of the site to Engadget 3D, and that's because we've seen the technology and loved the experience. Apparently we're not alone as a recent survey by Quixel Research showed that 78 percent had experienced 3D and 68 percent would recommend it to friends -- we assume the rest are basing this on their Dallas Stadium 3D experience. Almost half of the respondents said they'd like to receive 3D content via cable or satellite and about a third said they'd actually be willing to switch providers to get it. Now we've seen the BCS National Championship Game and Avatar in a 3D theater and while both were enjoyable, we think 3D sports is the bigger motivator to upgrade our HDTV.
