Watch the World Cup live in 3-D
Although DSTV has no plans to offer any local 3-D content anytime soon, Nu Metro cinemas are bringing the 3-D World Cup experience to local viewers.
Nu Metro cinemas in association with SuperSport and DSTV have partnered to bring South African viewers live footage of certain World Cup matches on the big screen.
With the World Cup in full swing, Sony has been promoting their new range of 3-D television aggressively here in South Africa but to the locals dismay there is no use for it yet in South Africa as only overseas sport networks like ESPN is offering the World Cup games in 3-D.
Nu Metro will over live screenings of the World Cup in 3-D at the following selected cinemas, Emperors Palace, Montecasino, Clearwater Mall, The Glen, Bedford Centre, Hyde Park, Menlyn Park, The Pavilion, Galleria, V&A Waterfront, Canal Walk, Riverside Mall, Loch Logan and Walmer Park.
