PS3 3D Firmware Update Detailed


Sony is set to release a firmware upgrade this June that will enable 3D capabilities on the PS3. According to Techradar, this will include 3D game support for titles on the PSN only, and not for Blu-ray movies. A second firmware update later this year is set to add support for 3D movies. Customers who purchase Sony’s HX803 will have access, free of charge to 4 remastered PSN Titles:

Wipeout HD
Motorstorm Pacific Rift
PAIN
Stardust HD

So while the PS3 continues to live up to it’s promise of being future proof, it looks like the future is going to be delayed just slightly for movies. Honestly, as long as it’s half as good as The Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future interactive game, I will be a happy man.

    “According to Techradar, this will include 3D game support for titles on the PSN only”

    Errm, and 3D support for games titles on Blu-Ray… it's only MOVIES that need a separate update

    The quality of reporting (or lackof) here is truly shocking…

    After removing SACD during a model refresh and then scrubbing the Other OS feature via a software update, I have to wonder what features will be vaporized for in exchange for 3D? Take out DVD playback? Strip MP3? Get rid of the browser since nobody uses it anyway? So much for the “future-proof” platform. Not even Sony's own technologies are safe from the PlayStation death ray.
