it sucks so much that you need a 3d tv for it to work. youd think that the software would do that part on its own you just need the glasses.

I'd like to know what else is in the update, as I don't have a 3d TV.

i can't wait for this, i found out yesterday that my TV had an 3D put in it, buts its not HDMI cord one, i wonder if this will effect my 3D playing?
okay like does the HDMI plug in, support 3D for my tv? i see a 3D plug but its for a round cord style, kind of like an attenna cord but with more sticks rather then just one

I have yet to experience anything in 3D. I need to get my ass to the cinema and watch something just see what all the fuss is about.

Then wait a few years until 3D TV's are nice and affordable!

Sony is outselling 360 by 60k a week. 240k a month ouch worldwide.

FF13
GOW3

I can only see it increasing.

cant wait for 3d...it will be more groundbreaking than natal and ark combined in my opinion...maybe not ark.

Once the update is hear am going out to buy a sony hd 3d tv got the money ready just waiting now samsung 55in hd 3d tv is £2300 last time i checked so sony should be the same or a little bit high went to harrods last week and the manger told me they should get the sony 3d hdtv in a weeks time saw a 3d laptop and a 3d hdtv lg there cant wait to longer

Wish Sony would just focus on this instead of motion controls. Motion controls are just useless paperweights.

3D for TV's are 'hardware' enabled not 'software' enabled, if software was the case then Sony, Samsung, LG and all the other company's rolling out 3D-HD TV's this summer just wasted billions of dollars on new hardware for nothing.

TV's don't work like PS3's if that's what your thinking in terms of a FW upgrades.

Awesome except for the fact that almost every single PS3 owner will need a new HD TV to run those games and movies.

I knew this was coming soon to PS3.. can't wait to see how it will be like., also hope the 3D glasses that we got from watching the Avatar movie works in conjunction with this upgrade.

Don't believe you need to upgrade your HDTV nor buy a new 3D specific HDTV.

Very good new for PS3 owners.

I'm sure a lot of ( only ) XBox360'ers out there are very very jealous by now.. unless you own both consoles ( like me )

this would be nice if i had a ed ready hdtv

well ps3 is ready for 3d. it may not be a hit for it's first year of life but after a while it's going to be a hit. i would like to see how would WII and 360 would have to answer for this. well wii will have to introduce a new console but for 360 i have no idea

Nice, but Im not rich to buy a 3DTV from Sony.

I will wait for the other projects like Recognition of Face and Voice software, Augmented Reality Controllers and others for PS3.

But I don't think I will buy a 3DTV. I just bought a 1080p HDTV.

yay time to order 100 dollar glasses.

i do not care for 3d gaming just bring the good games 3d will fall leave it to imax that all

Damn the PS3 is only moving forward!

On the other hand...theres something called a 360 >.>

Honestly I think 3D tech is meant for gaming and works hand-in-hand with computer graphic images, they just complement each other very very well.

It will definitely take gaming to a new level and the progression will be felt positively.

I don't even mind wearing 3d glasses.. putting one on will be second nature, like wearing shades.
It won't be like the past with those cheap red and blue 3d cardboard ones.

off a tv already so i might as well save up and buy the new 3d tv looking forward to it

To me 3D gaming seems like such a natural progression of gaming that it is a shame that while my PS3 will be 3D ready, I myself won't be ready unless I plunk down like 3 grand for a new 3D plasma.

You need the hardware man, NO you can't use whatever glasses you seen with whatever film at the Theater.
To the guy that says he can see a 3D round plug on the back of the TV, that is a 3-D synch port so you do have a capable 3-D set. Sounds like you could benefit with Nvidia 3d Vision glasses bundle and hook up your PC to the HDMI port and than that synch plug from back of Nvidia IR emitter to the back of your port on your tele and your good to go. You bought a DLP tv in the states? most probably.

These TV's will not work with the PS3's 3-D I'm fairly certain as Nvidia's is checkerboard (loose half vertical resolution) format out to do DLP TV's, where as SONY's will be full 1080P (60hz) to each eye (page flipping 3-d). Don't expect games to run sweet though I can tell you as soon as I turn 3-D on Nvidia vision on my PC it halves the frame rate of my game only got 1 GTX260 OC card in it but still this is how many times better than console gaming for rendering capabilities.
You guys just don't know what you are missing been gaming in 3-D for a while and won't go back to 2D I can tell you. If you don't have the TV to support it start saving man it's worth every cent.

Movies will been fine when the first 3-D bluray drop in the next 3 or so months but games are rendering 2 images at once, so my logic is we only just barely get 720P gaming now at decent sort of frames rates. I seriously doubt there is some magic trick SONY can do to help render the left and right image and keep good frame rates. I know there is about 3 games they are adapting for it but I reckon if you see a full retail game with 3-D it would have to be upscaled to 1080P etc there is no way it can render 2 frames at 1080P each as much as I know the PS3 is a beast this time you can't just throw it at a spu and expect the miracle because we are talking full render of the scene for left eye and full render for right eye.
I LOVE 3-D, peace out!!!

was watching the oscars tonight an bam!! a samsung 3D comercial was aired saying : "ARE U READY FOR HIGH OCTANE 3D tv??" im like what'd already??

I wonder how much the update will cost us.

I almost know for sure that 3d gaming will work as the famously anti-ps3 digital foundry did an article in Jan to try to downplay 3d gaming in fear of the xbox not being able to cope. Check it out lol they are sh!tting themselves.

Does anyone know if Avatar on the PS3, in 3D, ran with a reduced framerate also?

ok i already own a 3d tv and was planning on doing it through pc but when i heard of this i figured it will be easy. All i would need is an emiter and glasses, but then i read components wouldnt be compatible since it would need hdmi 1.4 Now that woul hurt for me since my receiver cost me 1500

Same here. I just wish SONY could bring some 3D TV to current TVs but can't. Looks like I'll be shopping for a 3D TV TO EXPERIENCE 3D TV IN HD.
