PS3 to get 3D games support.............

Sony has announced that the PS3 will have support for 3D gaming via a firmware update in the future

Now my question is,will we need any special TV's,accessories or add-ons to be able to utilize that 3D gaming functionality?

theres not much news on it yet, they're being pretty secretive. if they had any pinch of business sense at all they'd make it universal for all 120hz+ tv's. if they're doing it hoping to sell sony brand 3d tv's then i think it's going to be a waste of money on both ends. sure it'll sell their proprietary tv's to people who can afford them and/or need a new HDTV, but someone like me who spent 4g's on a plasma, i'm not trading in my tv just to get a 3d tv.

When the firmware update to support 3D blu-ray is released the only extra components you should need are glasses. But it will require a 3D ready TV, as the 3D is optimal quality, not the old anaglyph red and blue glasses style.tribalfilm

Are you trying to say that all those HDTV's out there that consumers have spent tons of $$ on will just go down the toilet because they don't support 3D?

Just telling you now. It's been flopping since the 50's, today isn't any different.

It's nothing but a gimmick and a waste of everything. The only true way to 3D gaming are cost effective projections of some kind. Not glasses, or messed up TV screens. Something that anyone can access with ease. As easy as turning on the TV itself.

All I know is when I went to Disney last year,,,,the old 3d shows are amazing.....Objects looked 95% solid and were very real looking....If anything can be implemented like that in a game would be sick........

I'm definitely up for it. Obviously I'd have to find a way to try it out for myself first but I'm definitely excited to see what it'll be like.

Ha, 3d gaming. It was bound to happen around this time.

Well, to a degree. You can have a background, and the foreground is actually in front of you with depth instead of the whole picture just being a flat screen.
