So there we were, a roomful of Super Bowl fans stood in front of a 106-inch projector-powered HD screen, dorky looking paper framed 3D glasses plastered to our faces, waiting patiently for the 3rd-dimension broadcast.

Walmart deals include a reduce price 32-inch Samsung LCD HDTV at $498 and a 46-inch Sony LCD at $1,298, and both unit come with an additional $100 store gift card.

sprint superbowl xliiEm’ Cowboys flopped and choked on its own dramas, I’ve been avoiding the playoffs but like millions others, I would definitely tune in on the day of the Super Bowl XLIII; not for the game, but the much-traditional ad campaigns.
