PS3 Getting 3D Functionality Via Firmware Update

E-mail Print PDF

Recent PS3 firmware updates may have delivered such incredible additions as "cut-down Facebook integration" and super awesome fun time "compatibility upgrades", and you would think it couldn’t get much better than it is. Guess what. It does.

Sony has revealed that the PS3 will be upgradeable, via firmware, to incorporate 3D technology. Though still no word on cross-game chat.

Sony's PS3 Goes 3DThe announcement came about as a part of a Sony earnings report, tucked away in the part about ‘Five Key Advantages of PlayStation 3′. The presentation said Sony intended to “release 3D games in line with Sony’s 3D strategy” and added this little fact-nugget to set our minds at ease: “all PS3 units will be firmware upgradeable to 3D”.

This will obviously require a 3DTV to function properly and it isn’t exactly going to pop up next week, but it’s still an interesting concept. As long as it’s a free addition we don’t have to use, we’re fine with it and excited to see what it can do.

So it'll be able to play games like that new avatar from James Cameron where the graphics are supposed to be 3d without the glasses. Should be awesome.
