My husband has gone to see it in 3D.

Live in Manchester.

That probably isn't very helpful.

Don't bother go!!! seriously, I was over at the roost, they're showing it on a 47 inch TV up in the corner over the bar, far too small. Plus the customers are only using the cheapo Avatar type glasses which Don't work!!!! I was testing it out lifting the glasses up and down and double vision the whole time.....having seen Avatar which is proper 3D....this is definitely not. You need the 100 quid a pop glasses that come with the 3D TVs which receive an IR signal from the TV adjusting the shutter speed or frame rate for it to work properly. Absolute con...trying to get people into the pub. I'm now at home watching the second half on my 46" with sky HD and Onkyo 7.1 THX certified sound system!!!:) Far better

I told all who'd listen when I heard about Sky promoting their new 3D channel in pubs, that it was a terrible idea.

It was a great idea to promote their 'new' sports channels via pubs back in the day because it was all about the content. It didn't matter what kind of TV the pub showed the matches on because it wasn't about what the matches looked like it was about the fact that the matches were on these Sky Channels. Punters would go home from the pub saying to themselves that they would love to get Sky and their sports channels at home.

Sky seemed to have a bit of cop on when it came to HiDef TV. They knew that they weren't going to wow pub punters with HD even if the pubs had HDTV's fitted because with most punters sitting more than 20ft away from at most a 42-46inch plasma, one couldn't see the difference between HiDef and Standard-Def anyway.

So I was suprised when I heard they were trying the Pub promotional model for 3D. What idiot thought that it would be a good idea to have a pub full of people wearing 'sunglasses' indoors in a bright room(unlike a dark cinema or home where you don't look like an eejit) craning their necks over other drunken punters 20,30,40 feet from a 46" plasma from which distance the 3D effect is basically invisible. A recipe for all the punters bar those sitting right under the screen to leave the pub saying to themselves that this 3D lark is a load of bollix.

It will have the opposite promotional effect to what Sky intended. Hundreds of punters from each pub going home and telling all their friends and families (1000's and 1000's via each pub showing by word of mouth) not to bother getting Sky 3D when it comes out for the home market and not to bother getting one of the new 3D Tv's.

I am skeptical of 3D even being worthwhile at home on a 42" plasma sitting the average 12fit away. Even that isn't close enough or screen big enough to really be wowed by the 3D effect. You really need the screen sizes provided by a projector. 3D has been amazing in the Cinemas and I am not knocking 3D at all but I really think its a waste of time unless you have a projector (Of course you'll need a new 3D capable projector)

Me, I can't wait for Avatar on 3D Bluray or 3D Premiership matches at home but only because I have a Home-Cinema room with a 100 inch screen with the seats 12ft away and need to upgrade my projector anyway. Need a 50in plasma for the sitting room soon too but I won't be getting a 3D model. Don't see the point on that size screen.
