I guess I’m pretty behind on times, being 2010 and I still haven’t seen a movie in 3D yet. Maybe it’s time. Even ESPN has caught on to the concept of the 3D experience. That’s why in June ESPN will launch it’s own 3D broadcast, starting with the FIFA World Cup soccer match shortly followed by a minimum of 85 live sporting events throughout the year. Most exciting, in my opinion, will be the Summer X Games followed by college basketball and football games.
While this all sounds like the best shit ever, it comes at a price. Not only will you have to wear those 3D glasses that give you a pounding head-ache after an hour…but you will have to throw that brand new 1080p TV you just got for Christmas out the window and purchase a new 3D-capable HDTV. Huge pain in the ass- we know.
Oh, forgot to mention…your cable or satellite operator might (probably) will need new equipment to handle the 3D video feeds. =Time x Money x Annoyance
I want ESPN 3D as much as the next guy…but I’m just not sure people will dish out the upgrades for 85 live events.
