Arsenal versus Man United shown in 3D!

This Sunday, the huge Premier League clash between Arsenal and Manchester United will be shown live in 3D! The game will be shown on Sky Sports (BSkyB) in a selection on unnamed locations, with the broadcasting giants stating they hope to make this a permanent feature of their subscription service for both pubs and home viewing.There are only 9 locations that will be showing the game, 6 in England, 1 in Wales, 1 in Scotland and 1 in Ireland. I have heard rumors that the QBar will be the Dublin bar that shows the game. The QBar is located at the top of O'Connell street, in the city center, and is sure to be packed to the brim for the game. In fact, the Manchester United superstore that used to be located in Dublin, was located right beside the QBar!

I am pretty excited to hear about the experience of watching the game in 3D. It is sure to be something completely different, BSkyB claim it will be the first ever sports event shown to a public audience in 3D! "People will get a sense that they are looking through a window right into the game, a portal into the Emirates (Arsenal stadium) with the best seats in the house. It is going to become a must-have, a must-want," Brian Lenz, the director of product design at BSkyB, stated. Just as a heads up, don't get too excited about being able to watch a game in 3D at home, you will need to buy a 3D TV, which have not been released to the market yet. When they are released, they are set to cost over $2500....ouch!

If you are lucky enough to be one of the fans that gets to experience the event please let us know how it is!
