I did a search and could not see this topic addressed recently, but this year with both Star Wars Rogue One, and with Guardians of the Galaxy, there was only one way to get a 3D copy in Canada. For Rogue one it was a limited edition steelbook exclusive to Best Buy, and from what I can tell they...

Ok so this is related to another thread ive posted, call this my backup plan. I have an Onkyo TX-NR905. Its great i love it, it does everything i need except deal with 3D signals. So im beginning to wonder if a preamp would be the right solution. The thing is most of the preamps ive searched...
