3D Blu-Ray is doing fine. It hasn't flopped at all. It is the only home video format for movies that is doing well and made significant gains compared to standard BD and DVD which have lost sales recently compared to last year q1 and q2.

ESPN closing isn't a big deal. The company said they aren't dropping 3D from their business. Even people who are invested in 3D as a buisness knew ESPN 3DTV wasn't going to work out this early in the game.
