Avatar released on DVD and Blu-ray on April 22, has sold 19.7 million DVD and Blu-ray discs in three weeks, more than any other film has ever sold in that span.  The movie from director James Cameron already holds the record for the biggest film release at global box offices with more than $2.7 billion in ticket sales.  Fox plans to release a 3-D version of Avatar on DVD sometime next year.

3D TV is making its way to terrestrial television broadcasts.  The Korea Times has reported that the four major television networks in South Korea, KBS, MBC, SBS and EBS, have plans for trial services. The area where the 3D terrestrial broadcasts will be available will include Seoul and the neighboring metropolitan area.

SBS is involved in the global test of 3D coverage of the FIFA World Cup in June.  That coverage will include 25 matches in live 3D beginning June 11th and continuing through July 12.  The Korea Communication Commission (KCC), which is similar to the FCC in the U.S., will allow for up to three hours of 3D programming a day beginning May 19th through June 10th. After that, the hours for 3D programming will expand to include the time required for broadcast of the FIFA World Cup 3D matches.
