3D HONDO is coming to 3DGO! (1 Viewer)

Same problem here. While I'd love it if Sensio could continue, I'm a realist.

Very sad, but I'm not surprised. Josh pretty much sums up why this experiment failed to gain any traction.

Yeah, if it can't be gotten between two different display devices and six different types of set-top boxes, they didn't have a chance. Most people have one of each. And it's really too bad, their offerings looked great and I would have happily been a customer if they would have worked on anything that I owned.

With TV manufacturers dropping 3D from their newer sets, 3DGO is a no go.

Yeah, unfortunately, I think their service needed to be something a 3D enthusiast could get with their existing equipment, or at most, a small one-time purchase of an inexpensive adapter. The idea that people who already had purchased new 3D TVs and projectors would need to buy a new compatible TV put the nail in the coffin. As much as I would have liked an option to watch their content, I was not willing to purchase a new display device just to do so.

Having one last go at Hondo on 3DGO! I sure am gonna miss this movie. Here's hoping (yet again) that circumstances eventually bring about a 3-D Blu-Ray release.

"That's a shame. I would have been interested in 3DGo's offerings but it wasn't compatible with a single device that I have in the house"

Same problem here, and looks like just about everyone else as well. I would've watched EVERY 3D movie that wasn't available on disc through 3DGO if one of my THREE Rokus, Amazon Fire Stick, or internet-capable 3D TV or Blu-Ray player could have accessed it! THAT'S clearly the reason why it failed, but most will likely just use this as more "proof" that nobody wants 3D.

This, and the apparent movements at Disney, would seem to point to the idea that 3D is destined for physical media only. Hopefully, Paramount will either license Hondo out, or, (my preference) put it out themselves, so fans can buy it and keep it.

I would be first in line to purchase a combo pack, with the current 2D BD, and a new Blu-ray 3D disc.

I think you meant either imported physical media or streaming. Remember, Disney has made 3D titles available through Vudu, but Sensio really dropped the ball by rolling out 3DGO with such a limited install base. It would have been better if they'd started with the PS3 and expanded from there.

A new Roku 3D channel has popped up: http://www.3dcrave.com

They offer some free previews and paid rentals. I think they just started, so the selections are very limited. It uses the side by side format and it works fine on my Roku 3.

There used to be a Russian 3D TV service available via my Smart TV which had some good stuff on it but like most things on Internet TV, it seems to have vanished.

 

[Mark Cappelletty]

Too bad. This is literally the first time I've even heard about 3DGO -- over a week after it shut down.

3D Crave has been around for awhile. I have it on my Panny Plasma.

 

[Jesse Skeen]

There's some good stuff on that- I was surprised at how good the converted Little Rascals shorts looked.

Would love to see Hondo in 3d

 

[Mike Ballew]

It's a really good film, especially in the scenes involving John Wayne and Geraldine Page. And the 3-D is outstanding.

I binge-watched the film three, maybe four times the weekend 3DGO went out of business. I cannot get enough of it. I hope Gretchen Wayne and other decision makers will get this film onto 3-D Blu-Ray at the earliest opportunity-- that is, once any current contractual obligations are fulfilled.

I was gonna do that, but I waited until Saturday to try and rent, and since they were 3 day rentals, they wouldn't let me rent it. I was really bummed because I wanted to see it again in 3D which I thought was done awesomely. Really added to the movie I thought. So I hope it comes out on disc at some point in 3D.

It's on TCMHD right now. Too bad the 3D version has never been released on Blu-ray.
