    Avatar, the 3D feature that dominated the box office, will not be in 3D when it is released on DVD this year.

    News Corp. Chief Operating Officer Chase Carey told SmartMoney, that despite the recent hype over at-home 3D TV, the market for 3D products is not stable enough for a release.

    "The market is not there in the short-term," Carey said.

    He did not turn down the option of releasing a 3D version of Avatar at a later date.

    While Avatar may not be able to do anything for the at-home 3D TV market just yet, it has already led to a surge in 3D movies.

    I'm think though, good 3D TV's are still in the $8,000 range but that was from a gaming magazine (Game Informer) from last year they were talking about the new games taking advantage of the new tech.

    I'm not sure 3D gaming is going to take off anytime soon. The average gamer isn't going to fork out 8k for a monitor, what size was it btw?
