Sky TV going 3D in 2010

It seems only a few years ago that Sky TV introduced High Definition into the UK, but today’s it’s announced that it’s going to be launching 3DTV next year.
Interestingly, it won’t require a new set-top box and the current Sky HD box will carry the service. But what it will require is 3D TV - so just as an HD TV is required for HD - a 3D TV is required for 3D TV, which makes sense. These will become available on our shores around the same time, most likely initially from Panasonic.
From what I can gather, you’ll need to pop on a pair of glasses to watch the content in 3D though, but that didn’t bother me too much when I saw Monsters and Aliens in 3D at Dreamworks.
Now while I’m normally, a huge fan of any new technology that comes along,especially 3D, which I’ve been impressed with both in the cinema and on the PC gaming side of things.
However, I’m actually slightly peeved that it will be arriving on our shores so soon. I’ve so far not made the jump to HD but was planning on getting something large and high-endish very soon.
But if I do, I might be plunging into into expensive obsolescence, which considering my current TV is about to reach its 10 anniversary, would disappoint me somewhat.
It’s a classic tale I guess - when should you jump onto that technology bus. There’s always something better around the corner.
