It’s like the perfect storm

Few events could be as perfect for 3D: it’s cinematic but revolves around sports; it’s internationally broadcast; and it has what you could call a Burberry Outlet captive audience. Now it’s up to 3D manufacturers to make the best of this moment and sell us on 3D TVs.
The Super Bowl’s loss is the Olympics’ gain
Sports were made for 3D, this much we’ve come to realize. Sure, there are all sorts of barriers (filming it can be a challenge, and once again everybody hates wearing those glasses), but the general consensus is that sports fans are in favor.
That’s why everyone is scratching their heads about the Super Bowl. You’ve got the biggest national televised sports event, an event which is infamously tied to TV sales, and you don’t try to push a new market that needs all the help it can get? What gives? Seems like some executives from sports networks and TV manufacturers could have worked out some sort of equally advantageous arrangement.
NPD analyst Ben Arnold talked about this mistake, calling it a “missed opportunity for TV manufacturers and content providers who have invested substantially in the technology.” He mentions that a recent report showed 60-percent of sports fans want to watch games in 3D, a number which undoubtedly would have translated into some early 2012 sales for 3D TVs.
So all those sports fanatics who live for the thrill of athletic cinema and would have bought 3D TVs this February, are now ripe for the picking, and manufacturers should take note and start planning their campaigns for this summer. Analysts obviously believe cheap burberry bags that big sports moments are going to translate into big sales numbers, and it doesn’t get much bigger than the Olympics. Disappointed that the Super Bowl wasn’t in 3D? Don’t worry – we’ve got weeks’ worth of international sporting competition to ease the pain!
So you may not have netted the Super Bowl, 3D TV industry, but now you’ve got some bigger fish to fry.
The Olympics and TV sales are a match made in heaven
Regardless of sports in 3D, the Olympics have always been an event that drives TV sales. During the Beijing Olympics, the demand for large screen TVs increased more than 84-percent year-over-year in China. The hosting country wasn’t the only one to experience this: New Zealand experienced increased TV set sales two weeks out from the Olympics, and the North American TV set market saw big numbers in the third and fourth quarters of 2008.
It’s like the perfect storm, but with a much happier ending for TV makers. The Olympics plus 3D coverage means a market that they’ve been trying to sell could finally see a little love. Consumers could benefit from sale prices in the lead-up to the event as well.
Gerhard Albert Becker, 48, entered his plea Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
His bail was set at $2 million, and he was ordered to return to court March 1 for a preliminary hearing.
Authorities say the fire and the ceiling's collapse were caused by Becker's grossly negligent construction of the home. They say he put a fireplace burberry purse on the third floor that was only meant for outside use.
