If you thought that we have reached the peak of television experiences with LED TVs, think again! Sony has made us at least! Those brilliant dudes at Sony has conjured up the latest in telly experiences, and guess what, it’s 3D this time!
Collaborating with FIFA, Sony has managed to make football’s governing body to allow them to capture 25 matches at South Africa 2010 in full 3D mode, allowing football fans all around the world to watch the most important matches on the planet in a 3D-perspective! Well, if you are indeed a football fan, this would interest you greatly, but if you are not, then you would do well to flip the page!
Watching a tournament as huge as the World Cup in 3D would indeed be a breathtaking experience, as it provides you with the feeling of almost being at the stadiums themselves in South Africa! Then again, you would need to have a compatible TV set to be able to obtain this viewing pleasure.
Using the world’s most watched sports as the medium to market their 3D TVs is indeed a masterful tactic by Sony, and broadcasting the matches through 3D-perspective would give viewers an absolutely amazing and different experience than ever before! And before you know it, the 3D-craze would be all over the place, with Sony leading the pack as the pioneers!
If you aren’t about to get a 3D TV set yourself, don’t you fret! Sony have confirmed that they are hosting “Fan Fests” in seven different cities across the globe to introduce to the world the ultimate experience of 3D-cameras and TVs, and the ever-popular 3D Bravia sets would be set into prominence here without a doubt! The Sony Bravia comes with the futuristic RealD 3D technology that would certainly blow you away, technology-wise! Fans could watch their favourite team play and battle in out against each other in 3D, and what better stage than the World Cup?
The 3D-mania is set to take over the globe, and is the next-big thing without a shout of a doubt! The question remains, when will you choose to be part of this craze? Why not let Sony convince you?

I agree that it is a great marketing plan to promote their 3D products through the World Cup. Since it is the most watched event across the world, it is the perfect advertising platform. I think it will be tough to convince people to buy a new 3d tv though. Many people have already recently invested in a HD tv.

This is quite remarkable indeed. I’d been skeptical about this whole deal but after watching Avatar I’m convinced it’s the way to go. It’s quite cool for FIFA to realize the value in this. Hopefully, this is a trend other sporting organizations take up too.
Till then,

As for Samsung, I’m sure they will catch up and outdo Sony somewhere down the line. It’s their cat and mouse game that keeps the consumer happy.

I have watched a football match in 3d already. Sky did a one off special of a uk football match in select locations around the UK. It was unreal! I cant wait to watch some world cup matches in 3d – it makes the game much more exciting and is a whole new experience.

Sony has definitely stolen a quick throw in against the opposition here! The football world cup is followed by both cricket and rugby world cups next year, so let’s hope this trend can continue. Awesome stuff! Now only if you didn’t have to wear those pesky 3D goggles.

Not that I’m into this type of football, but this move will put Sony back on top in the LCD market place for awhile. Competition is good. The battle for the almighty buck leads to lower prices and better products for consumers.

Hi,
I wanna get some world cup stuff for my friend’s birthday (and since we’re cheering for spain together it will be shared hehe)
I was wondering if anyone knows of a place where i could get a jersey or something related to the world cup (at a reasonable price and NOT a soccer ball -_-) i don’t have a credit card so online shopping’s off the list and I live in toronto.
Thanks

Sony has really taken technology to the next level. But I think Samsung is on its way to competing the expensive technologies of Sony.
Sony = american
Samsung = japan

You’d think 3D sports would be the next big trend, but I just don’t see many people rushing out to buy a new tv. I have heard news about a tv channel that will play nothing but 3D sports. Unfortunately they didn’t get enough sports to fill a full tv schedule.

@AC: That’s understandable. Half the market hasn’t even moved to HD yet so TV companies can’t just jump to 3D already.

From what i’ve read, the 3D filming is a very tricky ordeal. Sightlines have to be a lot lower and flatter for it to really work.

I was so excited when I heard about this. My friend just got one, and pretty much because of the 2010 Soccer World Cup. I can’t wait to watch the games at his house. We also were able to get a few movies that have been released in 3-D it is better than I thought it would be.
