Verizon will offer 10 3D films to FiOS customers...

the series ends with Disney’s A Christmas Carol and Step Up 3D in December, Verizon said. The other seven titles are Chicken Little, Bolt and Meet the Robinsons from Disney, and Journey to the Center of the Earth, Under the Sea, Deep Sea and NASCAR from Warner Bros., Verizon said. Prices are being determined, a Verizon spokeswoman told us, saying they'll “likely be a bit higher” than the $5.99 rentals of FiOS HD VOD titles. She said the model will be similar to the one at theaters, where tickets to 3D movies run “a few dollars higher” than tickets to 2D movies. FiOS TV customers will find the 3D movies in two locations, in the High Definition VOD folder under HD 3D and in the Movies VOD folder under 3D movies. The spokeswoman said Verizon will offer additional 3D programming starting early next year, but the specific names of VOD folder titles may change. As to how popular the offer must be for the company to consider it a success, she said, “If we're able to satisfy even one household by offering a 3D film, that’s a success for us.” She said information on the number of FiOS subscribers with 3D TVs was not available. Last year FiOS showed My Bloody Valentine in 3D. This year, the provider showed a New York Yankees-Seattle Mariners game in 3D produced by YES Network, followed by the first 3D NFL game in September between the New York Giants and New England Patriots. Customers have been requesting “more and more 3D programming,” she said, and Verizon has received “a lot of great feedback” from customers about 3D broadcasts.
