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.

If you are interested in viewing a live World Cup match in 3-D the following games will be shown:

Tickets go on sale from Wednesday 16 June 2010, so make sure you are one of the first to take advantage of this first time experience here in South Africa.

A while back Microsoft announced that they will be rolling in a update on the XBox 360 console to enable users to Twitter, Facebook and Last.FM from the comfort of their couch on a big screen TV.

So last night I decided that its time to test out this functionality. Using the applications is really straight forward, just log in with your credentials and away you go.

The Twitter interface looks really sleek and nice, but just don’t try to do a status update with your remote control. Writing the update is really time consuming as you need to move around the on-screen keyboard with your remote control to find the correct letters, not worry, all I did to avoid this was pop in a usb keyboard and all was well again.

All the the Xbox 360 now lacks is a browser, would be cool to be able to open up the links on tweets and view them. Me hold thumbs that they do not implement IE on the Xbox 360.
