 According to video games site VG247, the upcoming new firmware for the PS3, version 3.20, will enable 3-D video output, presumably for games only. Support for 3-D movies will be added in another upgrade later in the year. Note that you also need a 3-D TV and the required glasses to get the full experience.

You also need two eyes with decent vision. I only have one good one so no new TV for me. I'm just fine with my 50" Panny. |

I went to the Sony store yesterday at Tyson's Corner, VA and witnessed 3D TV for myself. It does work and is cool. It does take some getting used to. For one, the main detractor is the glasses. To begin with, I wear glasses, so it's weird having a pair of glasses over another pair of glasses. I didn't find it uncomfortable, just distracting. The picture itself looked very good. Some of the demo had some jerkiness to the picture, but that could be just the demo itself.
I don't know about movies, but where I really see this taking off is in the gaming world. I know my son, who plays alot of games thinks it's incredibly cool. |

I hope it's good and it takes off but I just spent thousands of dollars putting my home theater together so that is way down the road for me..... |

I'd like to see some studies on how bad 3-D is for your eyes.
All I know is that I had to take "breaks" watching Avatar in 3D due to my head hurting and eyes aching a little.
The last thing I need is a $2,000 headache making device in my living room. But who knows, maybe my brain just needs to get used to processing... |

It's an interesting concept but I'm not in a rush to replace my 50" Panny panel, never mind my JVC RS35 projector. :P |

I agree..I have two Kuros and a Sharp 12000U projector. I would only consider upgrading the projector if they had 3D projectors as well. Then it may be worth it but there is no way I would replace my Kuros (151 and 5020). However, my projector has a new buld with 1900 hours remaining.... |

Max, there are a LOT of little XBOX boys and also paranoid people on the PS3 forums all scrambling to be the first person to scream "firmware ___ broke my PS3!". I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's pretty unlikely. I've done every firmware update, all my friends have done every firmware update, and none of us have ever had the slightest problem.
And I own the Avatar game, it's pretty cool. So it will be extra neat to play it in 3D once I get my 3DTV. |
