3-D PS3 coming? looks like it

[STARSCREAM]

Surprised nobody has mentioned this yet. In the SONY 3D story on the front page here SONY says they are releasing in 2010, 3D capable Bravia tv sets along with vaio computers and PS3'S. So it looks like another version of PS3 is coming out and with 3D capabilities. Thoughts?

EDIT: here is link, https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=3351

So then it's not the same thing i read awhile back about linking 4 PS3s and showing GT5 in 2100P? I guess i missed hearing bout 3d demo.

Stereoscopic 3D (which uses either shutter glasses or polarized glasses) is real 3D. I think you mean anaglyph 3D ( which uses red/blue or green/magenta glasses).

im not a 3d expert but blitz games said they will bring stereoscopic 3d games to ps3 and 360 with firmware in 2009(apparently not if 3.00 was the last major update of '09) . this apparently isnt 3d that requires 2 video streams

I would hope it wouldn't be a new PS3 system but rather a firmware update.

I don't think they need new ps3 hardware, only a firmware update will do.

3D PS3 games? i dont know about all that, im perfectly happy with what they are doing now, kind of like motion control, if they want to have some games that support 3D, go for it, just not all games, i dont want to wear the 3D glasses while im playing

[Xerios]

it would be an optional thing... cuz u would need polarized glasses for it

The article I read refered to the glasses as shuttered to improve viewing angle over polarized glasses. I wonder if they must be synced and would be bluetooth controled.

I do not want to be bothered with glasses and certainly would not be an early adopter.

Unlike the passive solutions described above, active shutter glasses literally block and unblock your view utilizing remotely activated LCD screens in the lenses. Here's how it works: Your HDTV sends a signal (via IR, Bluetooth, or other radio transmitters) to the glasses to sync them to the correct frame rate. The glasses - which are powered by rechargeable batteries - will send alternating electrical signals to each lens which activates an LCD screen in the lens, effectively blocking that eye's view of the screen.

So you think it will only be a firmware update needed to make our PS3's capable of the 3D? I'm not so sure about that though. It was stated in the article like they would be releasing actual new PS3's. Here is article: https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=3351

Yeah but a couple month ago there was an article about a new codec for 3d that was only requiring a firmware update of the ps3. Plus, like some have said, sony already shown GT in 3d on a current ps3 so...

I can't see it taking off as long as you need special glasses.

[Xerios]

itll be a fad

...and/or a new TV 4 most. That new Kung-Fu game on PSN is the first 3D capable game. It was mentioned in the news a while back (I believe during CES 2009).
