Big East Championship
One of the 3D early adopters and looking for something to watch? While there are many conference championships taking place in the run up to March Madness this week, ESPN 3D's cameras are set to catch all the action at the Big East Championship, meaning several games each day, leading up to the final game Saturday night. Last year it was Kemba Walker and UCONN lighting up the stage on their way to an NCAA Championship, now we'll see which team makes a run in 2012.
(All week, ESPN 3D)

Game of Thrones
Assuming you haven't been forced at gunpoint into piracy, the first season of HBO's acclaimed series finally comes home on Blu-ray this month. Whether you're just reliving your trip to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros or visiting for the first time, if fantasy , intrigue and drama is your thing, this should be a good fit. Winter is coming.
($34.99 on Amazon, March 6th)

Mass Effect 3
The final chapter of Bioware's epic trilogy finally arrives on Xbox 360 and PS3 this week. If you haven't caught on to the series blend of action and RPG elements yet it may be too late, but for fans this final battle to protect the universe should be yet another incredible battle. Now featuring multiplayer, if you see a sudden dropoff in post count over the next few days then this game is probably the reason why.
($59.99 on Amazon, March 6th)
