I doubt it, I think they have a couple of On Demand movies in 3D this month. I don't use On Demand but I'm sure I saw something about it in the magazine. Life Of Pi might be one of them.

How would you know it's a gimmick if you haven't opened the glasses and tried it? lol

Everytime I try to watch a movie in 3D I get a headache.

Hopefully they get rid of the 3d channel and replace it with something more worthwhile.

I reckon 3d is excellent and hope they keep the channel and expand on it further.

If 3d is just a gimmick why did Foxtel dedicate bandwidth and a channel to it?
It's been running for several years.
