Sony is aiming to lead the 3D market -- and it shows. The company said during September's IFA technology conference that it planned to deliver 3D-capable TVs, Blu-ray players, and VAIO laptops. It also wants to install 3,000 Sony-crafted 3D theater projectors in cinemas by the end of 2010.
As for the PlayStation 3, Sony is expected to provide partnered developers with 3D-specific tools, so they can begin making games for the platform. That said, most consumers will have to upgrade their TVs in order to experience PS3 games in the most effective 3D modes.
Sony's CEO, Howard Stringer believes that new technology like 3D and the upcoming PS3 Motion Controller will drive the company's PlayStation business into the black by March 2011.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
if yr tv uses shuttered glasses the ps3 3D should work with it
-
the issue is, people will probably be FORCED to update their ps3 with this update, even if they do NOT have a 3d capable .v. which means less HD space, because its filled with a USELESS addon that will NOT be used

What is the difference between a 3D ready HDTV and a normal HDTV, apparently its a 3D processor built into the TV, isn't that the same as having a 3D updated PS3 because i would guess that there is no difference in the TV screen so whether the 3D processor is in the TV or connected should not make any difference. When the ' home 3D ' thing was first mentioned , only a few months ago, the word was that all you needed was an HDTV , the 3D being provided via harware eg 3D bluray player or 3D enabled PS3 and of course 3D glasses. It seems greed has taken over, as usual.
I can't see the public shelving out a load more money for ' 3D tv's' when they are only just up to speed with HDTV'S, i think the greed corporations will have to rethink their strategy. Whats the betting, within 6 months we will see ' new tech ' that allows normal HDTV's to disply 3D....

I have both the 67in samsung 3d ready tv and the 60in dlp 3d ready tv. I'm wondering if this firmware uses checker board which is what these use or the new 3d tvs which use a newer tecknoligy. I might have to buy the mitsubishi adaptor 1st which doesn't work with the Samsung.
