ESPN 3D will launch on Verizon FiOS April 5
After being the first with 3D pro football Verizon's 3D lineup on FiOS was looking pretty thin, but that changes next month when it will finally start offering ESPN 3D. We've been anticipating its launch since last October, but after ESPNNetworks online streaming it was apparently next in line. The early adopting 3D-capable TV owners near you who subscribe to the Ultimate HD package will see it added to their lineups for no charge, but like U-Verse, it's a $10 add-on for all others. Make decisions regarding those Hamilton's quickly, next on the schedule are the Masters and NBA Playoffs, check the press release after the break for all the details.
Dude, Get Your Own campaign expands to television
Sony has unveiled more details on its ambitious "Dude, Get Your Own" advertising campaign for PSP. The promotion will focus on PSP's ability to play games and multimedia and should proudly showcase PSP's new, lower price. According to Sony, a television commercial will be airing now through the end of May on a variety of shows targeted specifically to teens. PSP fans will want to tune in to shows such as King of the Hill (FOX), South Park (Comedy Central), Adult Swim (Cartoon Network), the NBA Playoffs (TNT), Saturday Night Live (NBC), and WWE Smackdown (CW) to catch the new ads.Online ads can also be found on IGN.com, Gamespot.com, ESPN.com and Maxim.com. Additionally, Sony plans to send promotional materials through direct mail. Later this week, Sony will be launching a new "Dude, Get Your Own" website, which will go into further detail about PSP's capabilities. (Hopefully, they'll create a new educational video, unlike the one featured here.)This aggressive stance from Sony is certainly appreciated. There are too many myths about our handheld that must be dispelled: hopefully, this advertising campaign will make others experience the system and join the PSP Fanboy ranks.
HDTV Listings for April 29, 2007
What we're watching: With no Planet Earth, Discovery HD Theater is featuring Panic in the Ring of Fire once again tonight, but for slightly different looks of fear, we'll be watching the Mavericks at the Warriors later on TNT. The #1 seed is coming into Game 4 down 2-1 and facing a must-win game to have a good chance of advancing to the second round of the NBA Playoffs.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for May 26, 2006
What we're watching: The Western Conference finals continue as the Dallas Mavericks look to even up things against the Suns at 8:30 p.m. on TNT-HD. Otherwise, it's slim pickings tonight with a jumble of reruns and movies. You can check out Freaky Friday on ABC or Mona Lisa Smile on Fox, but we'll keep the clicker stuck between NBA and NHL playoff action tonight, no matter how sweaty it gets.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for May 23, 2006
What we're watching: Only one season finale tonight, as House ends their season with a bang, literally. The Eastern Conference finals are here, and it's the same teams as last year, Detroit vs. Miami. They went all seven games last season, what will it take to get to the finals this year?On ABC Stephen King's Desperation takes center stage, maybe this will be better than every other Stephen King adaptation (except Misery)...maybe not. The miniseries 10.5 Apocalypse also comes to an end on NBC, but we may give WB's Pepper Dennis another look at 9 p.m.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for May 19, 2006
What we're watching: Plenty of season finales tonight, and two championship teams trying to avoid just that. The NBA championship contenders of last year, Spurs & Pistons, are both trying to stave off elimination and force a deciding Game 7 against the Mavericks and Cavaliers.

HDTV Listings for May 17, 2006
What we're watching: Lost is still the show to watch, we guess. The last few episodes have been a bit of a drag, here's hoping they pick things up. Invasion wraps up their first (and last, thanks Bob!) season tonight, along with CSI:NY, Law & Order and Bones. The Detroit Pistons start from scratch tonight trying to put away the Cleveland Cavaliers with their series tied 2-2. The defending champ San Antonio Spurs however are just trying to stay alive after falling down 3-1 to the Dallas Mavericks. Think Mark Cuban can smell the Conference finals yet?Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for May 9, 2006
What we're watching: Close only counts in hoseshoes, so despite a narrow loss or a blowout, the Mavericks and Cavaliers are both down 1-0 in their second-round matchups, they'll try to get back on track tonight on TNT-HD. If you feel like being scared silly in a ripped-from-the-headlines drama, Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America should be good to keep you inside for weeks.Also new tonight are back-to-back episodes of The Unit, and season finales for Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for May 6, 2006

What we're watching: The NBC Thursday night tour continues with new episodes, you know the drill. In NBA Playoffs action the Bulls, Suns and Pacers all want to keep playing, while the Heat, Lakers and Nets don't, we'll see who comes out on top there (BTW, if you missed LeBron's tightrope walk down the baseline -- not a travel -- for the win last night, you have no one to blame but yourself).We'll be checking out boxing on ESPN-HD tonight, as Sergio Mora takes on some guy whose name we won't even try to pronounce, hope he can fight.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.

HDTV Listings for May 1, 2006
What we're watching: Primetime tonight brings us NBA Playoffs, MLB action, 24, Prison Break & more, but those are all also-rans in my opinion. For true high definition greatness one must decide between Days of Thunder at 6 p.m. on HBO with the Cruise-y one himself, or the highly stylized Sin City at 6:45 on Starz (much like Sky Captain it is entirely green screened and looks great in HD). Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for April 29, 2006
What we're watching: Most programming tonight is on hold for the ongoing and unfortunately-SD NFL Draft (the Lions didn't take a wide receiver!?!?!?!?) but later on the NBA Playoffs continue with Denver looking to even up their series at two games apiece with the Clippers.Also tonight on Cinemax is the always-excellent in HD Ocean's Twelve, or you can go with the special effects-laden Pearl Harbor.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.

HDTV Listings for April 27, 2006
What we're watching: Will & Grace, My Name is Earl, The Office and E.R. are all back with new episodes tonight, we're getting the gang back together.
