The Royal Wedding will be streamed online and its soundtrack will be shifted via iTunes but the Royal Wedding 3D broadcast that was being discussed? Sky just couldn’t get the deal done.

As well as 25 launch titles there’ll also be some one minute Aardman shorts, plus, and this is the big one, Sky 3D and Eurosport content.

Eurosport will also be bringing 3D sports coverage to the Nintendo 3DS.
