The sports programmer is making a big bet on the format, announcing plans introduce a 3D TV network this summer. The Walt Disney Co. unit said Tuesday that the new channel -- ESPN 3D -- will feature at least 85 live sporting events during its first year, beginning June 11 with the first 2010 FIFA World Cup match South Africa vs. Mexico. Well, I guess it was just a matter of time.  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-05-2010 11:04 AM                     Well if they plan to use the same technology they use for "3D" DVD's, then it's going to suck because it doesn't work.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-05-2010 11:40 AM                        They couldn't possibly invest money in such a project and belieive it can be viable if they are only doing ana-gag-me-with-someone-else's-vomit-glyphic. Any more info on what process they are actually going with? There are a bunch of them out there doing the "pick me...pick me" dance. Wonder if we will wind up with the same stupid format fight al la Beta & VHS; HDDVD & BluRay; SDDS, DTS & SRD.  |  IP: Logged
