You know it's coming: the inevitable slew of boutique 3D television (http://hd.engadget.com/2010/01/21/3d-stole-the-show-at-ces-2010/) channels that will serve nothing but gratuitous content the same way all those HD-specific stations and their nature programs did a few years ago. Comcast (http://hd.engadget.com/tag/comcast) wants to be at the forefront of the 3D exploitation capitalization to come, and while its current offerings are modest (a 3D version of The Final Destination, a Jonas Brothers concert, and other stuff your step-brother Billy might like) and only offered in anaglyph format (red/blue glasses), the good news is it isn't charging any extra for the content -- yet. Comcast isn't saying exactly what's coming next, but specialized channels should be cropping up before the summer is through, and you can be sure they'll be grouped into a premium "3D Tier" for the ultimate in billing surcharges.Comcast positioning itself to be King of 3D programming (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/comcast-positioning-itself-to-be-king-of-3d-programming/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Tue, 26 Jan 2010 08:27:00 EST.
