It's not a console, it's a firmware update that's due in June/July which will enable 3D gaming.

Both.

3D gaming isn't going to be cheap, you need a 3DTV and of course the glasses in order to see it.

Ya, i'm convinced 3D is going to be the way of the future (kinda like HD is now), but if you want to get into it now, its gonna be obscenely expensive and there will probably be little support for this in the early years. Unless you got loads of money you dont know what to do with (LOL), i'd wait on making any big purchases. Expect this to be more mainstream 5+ years from now.

yeah this sounds pretty expensive then. I just got a new tv not too long ago, so i doubt i'll be getting another new tv any time soon anyway. Too bad, the 3d sounds pretty sweet.

imo those glasses make the picture a little darker, the contrast doesn't look as good, but it's not a big deal anyway.

The new Samsung LED can convert 2D to 3D with pretty decent results. I work at Best Buy and played GOW III in simulated 3D right before we opened for the midnight release.

It was weird at first, especially for platforming, but cutscenes looked awesome. You Could really see the added depth between your character and the background.

I hope all older PS3 games will receive this 3D patch.

Playing MGS4 in 3D would be orgasmic :shock:
