3D to come on PS3's 3.20 firmware.

I would do this if I had a 3d capable T.V.

Sounds pretty interesting. I've two TV's, one 40" Sony Bravia, but it's only 60hz. I have a 50" Samsung Plasma 600hz. I'm not sure if either one will be able to take advantage of this feature, but it they can, I'm all for it.

[QUOTE="bigblunt537"]

This has to be the biggest waste of time and money for sony. Very few people will utilize this feature.

jherbach1222

true. But its nice to have the feature available if your willing to buy the glasses ect. Cant say 360 or wii does that :/ I have a feeling they will tout the whole 3D feature in their new ps3 ads.

as would I, If I knew about this earlier I would have got one bc I just upgraded my Tv sucks :(

[QUOTE="leperphiliac"]So what typr of 3d glasses would you need?donalbane

I may sound like a noob, but can't they just make it possible to use the ones from the movies? Not the red and blue ones, the new Real 3D ones from like Avatar and UP.

I can't believe people are falling for this crap.Until they can find a way to do this without forcing you to wear glasses it's useless and incredibly stupid. What happens when you have more than one person over to watch stuff?

[QUOTE="ccagracing"]

Im not sure about this 3D stuff at the moment. I watched Avatar in 3D and it was impressive, but look how much money that movie had spent on it and then take into account the Massive Screen, Surround Sound and perfectly accoustically setup room. I just think for the average household its a gimmick at the moment and this is regardless if its PS3, PC or Xbox doing it.

Seems like some people dont realise that there are already 3dtv that dont need glasses and already working (Checkout CES) and set for release. so glassless 3dtvs are not 5-10 years away like someone said they are less than 2 years away. People calling it a gimmick need to remember 5 years ago people said 'HDTVs are a gimmick' and 'you will never need a Gigabyte of memory' now look HDTVs are in atleast 75% of household and A Gigbyte is now so easy to fill up that Terabytes are being introduced technology moves forward and doesnt stand still. 3D is going to like HD in 5 years where everyone has its. Just like those other 'gimmicks' I will be the first to say 'I told you so'. I remember those days as a kid when a MB was a lot of memory now it cant hold a 3 minute song.

Bluray still isn't the standard (DVD is still more widely used). And 3D gimmicks are alot different than HD.

I don't care who pushes 3D. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Magnavox, Panasonic. It still is an eyestrain and unappealing with alot of programs and movies. I would not want to watch movies in 3D for more than an hour let alone play a 40 hour game with glasses like that. You'd go blind.

Doesn't your tv have to be over 200hz to be able to utilize this? ihazfishsticks

check the manual. my samsung i purchased about 6 months ago has a 600 hz refresh rate, but its a subfield motion. im guessing yours probably is too (in which case it wont play 3d games)

3D output? 3D TVs are actually being sold? Since when?

What the heck is all that other stuff? NAT traversal looks very interesting.

3D is preaty good if done correctly.

Sadly most of the time it just gives you a massive headache.

People act like 3D is a new thing in gaming. I was gaming in 3D in the 80's with Radracer!

Nothing beats some 3D rad racer with a powerglove.

I love the powerglove!

Its so bad!

Needed to play 3d.

1.A tv capable of 3d.

2.Glasses ranging from 100-200 dollars.

3.a new tv with the new 3d film on it so you don't need glasses. thousands of dollars.

4.Not be prone to getting headaches from 3d.

3d is a gimmick I yet again got another headache, Friends wanted to see 3d alice in wonderland so I relented and went to the 3d version as well not only did 3d ruin my movie going experience, I still have a headache from it last night....

People should learn to relax. 3D is going to be an option, not a necessity. What's wrong with options?

I'll def be buying a 3D tv when they come out, it's the logical next step in gaming where you don't just play the game, you're IN the game. Imagine playing a shooter in 3D, it would be amazing!

KratosTwin

the problem is is that they are pushing it hard, tv makers, movies...ect what should have been an option that died away is now seemingly becoming a Necessity. and for people like me faux 3d will never be a viable option until it doesn't give us headaches, And nothing so far says its won't. red and blue gave me headaches, Polarized has given me headaches, Shutter glasses headaches, It stands to reason the new tv filters will give me headaches.

Whats funny about it is people actually think its 3d its not, Its faux 3d its an illusion its a combination of technqiues to trick your eyes into thinking some parts of the image are in the forground and some are not, But its an illusion there will never be any thing but faux 3d till we have true 3d till now its 3d images and world put up on a 2d screen, this simply tricks your eyes and brain, till I can walk into a room and move around an object in my 3rd dimensional space that is artificial then its not true 3d but faux 3d.

I am sorry about your headaches, seriously. I've watched movies in 3D such as Avatar and experienced no such thing.

I still don't see it as them forcing anyone to buy it or use it. It's just an option and also still very early and a long way from becoming mainstream.

I think you will be fine since playing/watching non-3D will always remain an option as well even when or if it becomes mainstream.

I don't feel like running about and splashing 2k on a new TV thanks. Will this be factored into the PS3/360 price comparison? Seeing as just like Wifi, it's not needed and is an optional extra?

By the same token you don't HAVE to game online with Wifi. Yes it's common nowadays ... on portable devices. Which is for obvious reasons.

Its inferior to a wired connection, why would i use an inferior method of getting online given the choice? Why would Cows then count it as being needed for online play?

3D isn't unproven or unused ... It's just not practical, and there is little demand. It's been around for .. well since i can remember.
