Sony has announced that they will release a new PS3 firmware update next week that will include the long awaited 3D blu-ray playback support on the console. According to Eric Lempel's post over at the US PlayStation Blog:

"Hi everyone, I wanted to share some news out of Tokyo Game Show. We’ve announced that the PS3 system will be able to play back 3D content on Blu-ray 3D discs with the next system software update (v.3.50), slated for release on September 21. We know that many consumers have purchased 3D TVs already and more of you will be purchasing them as the holidays approach – so we’re excited to offer this firmware update that makes all 38 million PS3s worldwide compatible with Blu-ray 3D discs."

"This new feature expands the PS3’s 3D capabilities – as you may recall, we added the ability to play stereoscopic 3D games with the 3.30 firmware update in April. While support for Blu-ray 3D discs is the primary new feature within the 3.50 update, there will be a few additional features."
