PS3 2010 Firmware update will Enable Games for 3D TV

Getting 3D TVs like Sony’s Bravia 3d is one side of adding new dimension to your movies.

But the real deal is to go witht the games. A firmware update will bring stereoscopic display support to the PS3 in 2010.

3D just seems to make more sense in a video game than for a movie, and the whole problem of finding content to deliver in the format has already been solved: a software update for the PS3 sometime in 2010 will enable it to provide a 3D viewing experience to “all” existing games on the system. We’re sure there will be some exceptions, but it sounds very promising. The console itself pumps out a quite regular signal over HDMI, which the TV syncs up with your 3D glasses. A 200Hz TV, for instance, alternates 1080p frames, with 100Hz for each eye. Of course, you’ll need a brand new TV, but at least it won’t be restricted to just Sony televisions. Start saving those pennies!

The good news is that you won’t need a Sony 3D Bravia to enjoy it. Any 3D TV will work,. Engadget has been playing with it at IFA and they say the experience is great.
