3D PS3 gaming coming via firmware update - News at GameSpot

3D PS3 gaming coming via firmware update
By Tom Magrino, GameSpot Posted Nov 19, 2009 3:02 pm PT Japanese electronics giant says all consoles will benefit from stereoscopic depth-of-field technology after downloadable patch; no ETA.

Sony hasn't treated its aims at fully entering the stereoscopic 3D landscape with much secrecy. At the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show, Sony showed off Polyphony Digital and Evolution's MotorStorm with full depth of field using the emerging 3D display technology. Representatives of the Japanese electronics giant also said in September at a German tech conference that Sony would begin manufacturing a PlayStation 3-compatible 3D Bravia HDTV by the end of 2010.


This would pop out of the screen with 3D glasses.
What's more, Sony reps said that it also plans to integrate the stereoscopic 3D technology directly into the PS3 beginning in 2011 or 2012. Now, Sony has thrown its full corporate weight behind its intent to integrate stereoscopic 3D into the PS3 as part of a presentation given to media and investors today.

As part of a slide titled "5 Key Advantages of PlayStation 3,"Sony said all PS3 units would eventually be given a 3D display mode as part of a future firmware update. The company also said that it will release a line of 3D games that make use of the technology. However, it did not indicate when the firmware update or the 3D-compatible games would come to market.

Aside from new games, Sony has previously indicated that the 3D tech could also work with existing software. At the aforementioned German exhibition, Sony set up the prototype unit with a PS3 showing off existing games, like WipeOut HD, being played in 3D. Company reps said the technology on display was built into the HDTV itself, meaning it would work with preexisting PS3 games and consoles.

3D PS3 Blu-ray going online in October - News at GameSpot

3D PS3 Blu-ray going online in OctoberBy Tom Magrino, GameSpotPosted Sep 1, 2010 3:13 pm PTSony says console's high-def media player will gain stereoscopic tech next month via firmware update; Music Unlimited announced for Europe.

In June, Sony rolled out the first batch of stereoscopic 3D-enabled titles for the PlayStation 3, starting with Wipeout HD, Super Stardust HD, and PAIN. However, the Japanese electronics giant has been slower to introduce its 3D tech to movies played through the PS3's Blu-ray player, but that will soon change.

Engadget reports that Sony announced as part of its 2010 IFA press conference in Berlin, Germany, today that the PS3's Blu-ray player will be updated with stereoscopic 3D functionality in October. The update will reportedly be released as part of a firmware update for the console.


Soon, PS3 Blu-ray players everywhere will be spitting out blurry images!
The publisher went on to note that a handful of past and future movies will feature 3D support, including James Cameron's Avatar, The Green Hornet, and the next Spider-Man. Notably, Sony's senior director of 3D development, Mick Hocking, told GameSpot at Gamescom last month that some 20 3D titles would be available within the next 12 months.

As with 3D games, Blu-ray movies using the stereoscopic technology that are played through the PS3 require a special TV set. Sony's Bravia line of 3D-capable HDTVs went on sale this spring, priced from $1,700 to $4,230.

Beyond 3D movies, Sony offered European PS3 owners some goods at the 2010 IFA conference, announcing a new cloud-based music-distribution service that will be available later this year. Called Music Unlimited, the service can be accessed through the PS3, along with Sony's 2010 models of network-enabled devices like Bravia TVs, and it will offer "millions of songs stored and synchronized through the cloud."

Sony did not offer pricing information for Music Unlimited. The company also did not indicate whether the service will be available in North America, telling GameSpot only that it is "pursuing a phased roll-out approach in order to provide the best possible service experience to consumers. Further information will be announced in time."
