3D on 2D TV

[Petruchio]

Here's a silly question, feel free to shoot me down:

What happens if you play a 3D bluray on a 3D bluray player via a 3D passthough amp via HDMI High Speed with Ethernet (or 1.4 to you and me) to a 2D TV? Will you get the same "double image" that you get on 3DTVs (albeit without the ability to bring the two together!) or will it be a "side by side" two images, or will it not play at all?

I've just ordered Disney's Christmas Carol on Bluray, and I got the 3D one for future proofing (and just for the hell of it), and I was wondering what will happen when I try to play the 3D disc...?

No, you should see a crystal clear 2D image, as the HDMI negotiation should arrive at the conclusion that the TV is 2D only and sort things out.

Yes, basically you'll just get the image for one eye - usually the left, IIRC.
