Blu-ray 3D Expected to Reach Consumers in 2010 Los Angeles

Can anyone recommend a "hacked firmware" BluRay player? I have a great DVD player, upscaling pioneer DV 410, that with hacked firmware allows me to start the movie straight away without being forced to watch 20minutes of trailers. I absolutely refuse to be forced to watch stuff I dont want to watch and have my skip and forward button blocked. Fortunately, the firmware "smash the mac" for the pioneer retains full control with the user... so when those annoying ads start, I just skip straight to the movie.

Does this exist for blu-ray as well?

Remember, every minute saved is another minute here on TPU

I use a ps3, so no. But I have noticed that BD movies lock user ops less often than DVDs. I don't think most people would deal with it with BD's premium over DVD.

... Notably, the specification allows every Blu-ray 3D player and movie to deliver Full HD 1080p resolution to each eye, thereby maintaining the industry leading image quality to which Blu-ray Disc viewers are accustomed. Moreover, the specification is display agnostic, meaning that Blu-ray 3D products will deliver the 3D image to any compatible 3D display, regardless of whether that display uses LCD, Plasma or other technology and regardless of what 3D technology the display uses to deliver the image to the viewer's eyes...

This is a bit confusing. Does this mean it will work on all existing LCD, Plasma TVs?
Does this specification imply that it will use active-shutter glasses?

Or does this just mean this is a "transport" specification that will allow a means to pair a 3D content BluRay disc, through a 3D supported bluray player to a 3D supported display with an encoding protocol (Like DolbyDigital, DTS, Dolby TrueHD is for audio)?

Even the RealD website is a bit vague about what this will be "for the home" (RealD and Imax3D are doing the Avatar 3D distribution).

I am guessing we will need to either buy new displays or active-shutter-glasses to make this work or maybe both. At least they say that the PS3 will have a firmware upgrade to make it 3D compatible. Makes me want to hold off on buying a new LCD monitor for a couple months to see if any more concrete information will surface. I can see this being a long slow process (I remember the very first Dolby Surround and ProLogic equipment....)

No only those what support 3D. Try the Avatar game and try the 3D option see if it works or not. I believe that is a way to find out or not.
