154w ago - Today Sony's Director of Hardware Marketing
John Koller has confirmed that the ultimate 3D gaming experience, stereoscopic 3D gaming, is arriving on the PlayStation 3 entertainment system tomorrow as part of the
planned 3D PS3 Firmware update.
To quote: Starting tomorrow, high-definition stereoscopic 3D gaming will be available in your very own living rooms! As you already know, all PlayStation 3 systems are already equipped with everything they need to play stereoscopic 3D games.
Thanks to a free firmware update released this past April, the PS3 system is the only console on the market that can support full stereoscopic 3D gaming -- right from your living room, and with no additional charge.
Today, our sister company
Sony Electronics announced its
3D capable BRAVIA HDTVs are now available for pre-sale and will ship to retailers later this month.
There are a broad range of models available in different screen sizes, some packaged with active glasses and others without, giving consumers the option to choose which 3D entertainment solution works for them. For more information, click

We're extremely excited to be at the helm of a whole new gaming experience unlike anything offered before. Starting tomorrow, the following games and demos will be available in stereoscopic 3D for anyone who owns a PS3 system and 3D television:
• WipEout HD (full game): Experience the adrenalin rush of navigating the twists and turns of futuristic racetracks at breathtaking speeds like never before.
• Super Stardust HD (full game): Experience asteroids fly past you as you navigate the deadly battleground -- only a battle on a cosmic level will save the indigenous life below from destruction.
• PAIN: The stereoscopic 3D content will include the Downtown area and tutorial along with three modes, including two new modes created specifically with stereoscopic 3D in mind, Alien Toss and Ice Breaker.
• MotorStorm Pacific Rift (demo): MotorStorm Pacific Rift in stereoscopic 3D puts you in the driver's seat of a buggy for a one track, single player race around the deadly Kanaloa Bay for a dangerously real battle against ruthless opponents.
To give PS3 and new 3D capable BRAVIA owners a sample of 3D entertainment at its best, 3D capable BRAVIA HDTVs will come with PlayStation Network vouchers to download these four stereoscopic 3D game experiences, which total more than 100 hours of gameplay.
We're also announcing that The Fight: Lights Out will be available in stereoscopic 3D, combining PlayStation Move with 3D to deliver an immersive and realistic gaming experience unlike anything you've played before. This is only a small taste of the 3D experiences you can expect with the new 3D capable BRAVIA HDTVs and PS3.
With new gaming experiences coming this year in the form of stereoscopic 3D gaming and PlayStation Move, as well as an expansive software line-up, the PS3 system truly does everything and continues to be at the forefront of innovation.
In addition, 3D Blu-ray movie playback is coming to the PS3 this year via firmware update. Stay tuned for even more 3D news and announcements coming in the near future!
I'm with 10 seconds of Google searching you will find a torrent you can download....
...
Yes, you can. That is why I posed the question which pin is IR sync on. You would just make a circuit that read the sync, and an IC that controlled an IR led at that sync. A quick look with a video camera at any 3D TV would show you the IR sync. The only complication comes if the PS3 requires the TV to tell it it is 3D, if that were the case you would have to mimic that signal. You're sure to see hacks coming out for any TV that support 120hz. It is technically even possible on 60, but not high quality.
I got a free voucher for Pain when I bought my PS3. So I've had the game for quite some time. I also have a 65" dlp hdtv that's 3D capable.
I set my tv to 3D mode. I loaded up Pain (after downloading the update, and the free 3D packs from the store). When I go into the levels, nothing has changed! The screen looks like it always does. I'm not sure if there's an option we have to select to force it into 3D?
I also downloaded the Super Stardust HD demo, thinking that maybe there would be something in there that would give the option, and nothing.
Has anyone gotten the 3D to work? And if so, was it automatic or did it give an extra option somewhere to use it? It would really suck if you could only use the "latest" tv's for 3D.
grabbed my red and blue glasses, loaded one up, nothing no 3d effect no double lines with out the glasses on.
so i tried a pair of glasses from the cinema 3d (tinted things) nothing no 3d effect whatso ever..
seems unless you have £2500 spare you cant have 3d sony!
