3DGO Talks to Michelle about their new 3D Streaming Service!
Are you in the mood to rent and stream a 3D movie but always disappointed in the very limited selections – assuming you can even find an online service that even supports 3D movies? iTunes doesn’t support 3D, Vudu just started a limited selection of 3D streams, don’t even get me started with Cable OnDemand.
