One thing that worries me is that it seems that they will need to develop a new line of 3D blu-ray players and PS3s that are compatible with 3D tvs. Considering I just purchased a PS3, this news is somewhat disappointing. I am eagerly holding out on buying a new HDTV in hopes that 3D will be readily available next year, but if it means that I'll have to buy an all new TV along with a new BD player, I might just jump onto the LED-TV bandwagon and wait for the 3D market to standardize and prices to fall.

Not necessarily. HDMI 1.4 is the first to officially support 3D, but all that's really needed is the ability to handle a 120Hz signal. According to the spec, HDMI 1.3 supports "beyond 120Hz", and even has enough bandwidth to do it at 1080p.

Sony showed off 3D with the PS3 at CES. So you wouldn't have to buy a new 3D enabled/compatible PS3, because it seems that they can already do it. What they showed off was just demo loops of games, not actually playable demos, but I really doubt that you would have to buy another PS3 for 3D. I think that goes for Blu-Ray as well.

I wear glasses everywere and I feel not "absolutely ridiculous"

And now you'll need to wear two pairs of glasses at once to watch your 3D movies.
The glasses solution will make people look / feel ridiculous, and will induce nausea / headaches in some people.
3D will arrive properly when someone produces a proper 3D display that does not require people to wear glasses or have other obvious shortcomings that plague most proposed solutions. It would be nice to standardize 3D encoding, delivery and decoding though since it might spur the format on in the meantime.

So I'm still a little unclear. If my sony sxrd can display in 120hz, is that enough to be "3d ready"? This 3d-at-home trend seems cool, but I'm not buying a new tv just for that...
