UK Consumers Not Taken By 3D TV

Just 2% of UK consumers have shown interest in purchasing a 3D Television in a YouGov poll. Just 89 out of 4,199 Britons said they would have interest in buying a 3D-enabled TV in the next 12 months.

According to the Telegraph, consumers between 25 and 34 were “the most likely to say they were planning to buy a set,” with 5% saying they are interested in buying a 3D TV in the next 12 months.

People over 45 were “least likely to be planning to purchase a 3D TV set in the foreseeable future,” with 1% replying in the positive.

Of course, it’s all relative: interest in buying new electronics was low across the board- although HDTVs were the most popular item. Still, it just goes to show that no matter how much the TV companies shove it down our throats, most of us just don’t like 3D at all.

Even PS3 Owners Rate Xbox Live Best

In a recent opinion poll, 74.7% of the PlayStation 3 owners surveyed considered Xbox Live to be the online service with the best feature set when compared to PlayStation Network and WiiConnect24. In addition, 71.4% of the people that actually own an Xbox 360 feel as though Xbox Live is worth the subscription fee.

Possibly even more intriguing is the fact that of the people that owned all three consoles, meaning they had the option of playing multiplatform games online for free, 63% still found Xbox Live to be worth the price. Another statistic that I found particularly interesting is that an in-game XMB is the feature most wanted on PSN, even more so than Home, Trophies, and further PSP integration.

The survey was conducted by Game Informer and printed in their August 2008 issue.
