One of the "obstacles" to 3D adoption is that you don't just need to buy a big 3D TV. Of course, you need 3D glasses to actually watch 3D content. However, Amazon is making the move pretty pain-free, by slashing prices on select Samsung plasma 3D TVs and throwing in an $80 credit towards getting those glasses.
Now if you do the math (properly), you'll realize that those glasses turn out to be absolutely free -- two pairs of them, in fact. However, when doing this deal, you need to make sure that you add the 3D TV into your shopping cart, as well as the number of glasses you want to purchase, both with Amazon.com as the seller. If you just want the free glasses, make sure that the number of 3D glasses you add to your cart is "2." The $80 discount will then be reflected in your shopping cart before you check out. Of course, at $37.95/pair (the lowest we've ever seen for active 3D glasses), you might want to add a few more to your cart so the whole family can enjoy that 3D movie night.

Just a quick reminder that the PN51D6500 and a few other select Samsung 3D TVs (like its big brother, the 59-inch PN59D6500 are eligible for the $80 credit towards 3D glasses -- which, since the glasses are currently $37.95/pair basically means two pairs of FREE 3D glasses! However, to take advantage of this discount, you'll need to add the TV into your shopping cart, as well as however many pairs of 3D glasses that you want to purchase with Amazon.com as the seller, not one of the third party marketplace sellers.
