so... my daughter would love this...
my question is referring to the 3-D portion. would the 3-D version be viewable on any TV or would you need a 3-D ready display? started noticing some specs on newer TVs saying they are 3-D ready which i assumed meant my older display is not. I have the mitsu WD65731.

I'm going to make a point of missing this one too. I only clicked on this thread based on the slim hope that it referred to the first of the HD re-mastered Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes. How long must we wait?
Anyway, here is the answer to your 3D question. All '3D ready' means is that the TV has a high enough refresh rate to use shutter glasses without excess flicker (seems to be 120hz+). The glasses basically blank out one eye while one field or frame is shown and then the other eye while the next is shown. This basically halves the refresh rate for each eye, meaning that the TV needs a higher refresh rate not to flicker when viewed through the glasses.
So if your TV has a 120hz refresh rate or higher it should already be '3D ready'. You will of course need a pair of shutter glasses for each person to view the 3D content.
This TVs specs describe it pretty well:
