According to all the Sony, Samsung and Panasonic reps at our training for Magnolia, and according to nearly every one I've spoken to with any expertise on the matter, Any Blu-ray player capable of decoding MVC (multi-view codec) and sporting an HDMI 1.3a output is capable of outputting 1080p 24fps or 720p 30fps. Since films are encoded as 1080p 24fps, and most video is shot at 720p 30fps this is a non-issue.
So theoretically, Sony only needs to update the software on the PS3 so that it can do two things...add playback capability of the Multi-view codec, and interface (or "handshake") properly with HDMI 3D compatible devices correctly.
in my experience with the Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, LG and Mitsubishi (2010) models, all you need is an HDMI 1.3a (10.2gbps or higher) cable to interface properly with 3D devices. If in doubt though, just find an HDMI 1.4 compliant cable.
