Playstation 3 & 4 (PS3 / PS4) 3D Discussion

Forum Moderator Notes:
This thread is for 3D-related Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 discussion, covering movies, games, functionality, updates, which is better and much, much more! There's a separate thread for Playstation VR.

For FAQ purposes, please note that the PS3 and PS4 are both crippled by movie region coding so will only play region free 3D blu rays and 3D blu rays from the region that they are locked to. So you can't watch Ratatouille 3D on an American model and you can't watch American Mummy 3D on a European model but you can watch Marvel movies on any PS3 or PS4 anywhere. 3D games however are usually region free, so you don't need to worry about those.

The PS3 is able to operate without power transformers (my Canadian one runs fine on UK mains power) but I do not know about the PS4.

Things have moved on since the original post, but here it is for reference:

I have been reading on the internet the past few days that 3D can only be attained with 1080p through HDMI 1.4 and only 1080i with HDMI 1.3. If the output HDMI on the PS3 is 1.3, how could we get a 3D 1080p picture from the PS3. Unless I am mistaking and the actual port does not make a difference...Just wondering as I plan on what needs to be upgraded. Thanks...
