According to a recent survey, 63 percent of console owners believe the only thing stopping them from viewing 3D content is a firmware update.

Probably confusion due to Sony's two firmware updates. I can understand why people think a firmware update can upgrade their TV to 3D if a firmware update is all it took to upgrade their console.

I'm sure the statistic would be similar had it been a 360 feature, there is no reason to not believe its a console gamer issue as a whole.

360 users didn't get an update promising 3d playback...so no its ps3 users 64% that believe their updated ps3 can play 3d on anytv.

Yes, but I mean as a whole, the typical casual gamer would probably believe it just the same regardless of console.

I'm not surprised really, most console gamers aren't very tech-savvy.

I feel for all those disappointed people...I can understand why it would give them that idea, though. I mean, not everyone makes it perfectly clear that you still need the TV that runs the feature in order for it to work. After all, the technology did just come out and most of us are still in the dark about how it all works.

It's cool, the name makes me feel like the pc people are looking for advice when it is phrased that way.

Anyways, "a recent survey" :lol:. How many people own consoles and how many people were in this survey? Judging by this site, 98% of PC gamers think that it is more adult to play games on a pc.
