Digital Entertainment Group announces 3D titles for the holiday season

In a move that is long overdue, DEG announced a boatload of titles for starving 3D system owners, who up until now, have had only a few titles available.  Most of the titles are computer animated movies, with some HD documentaries also available.  Overall, I’m not that impressed with the titles.  The list, including some of the first from studios like Disney, should address some consumers concerns about title availability, although some manufactures continue to promote “exclusive” titles, only available when purchasing a certain 3D system, a move which really doesn’t help the overall 3D adoption situation.  Here is the list of titles, including those with exclusives:

• · Alice in Wonderland (Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment)
• · Despicable Me (Universal Studios Home Entertainment)
• · Clash of the Titans (Warner Home Video)
• · The Polar Express (Warner Home Video)
• · Disney’s A Christmas Carol (Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment)
