PS3 3D video output turns up in 3.20 debug firmware

[Vidboy10]

We'd already heard that the PS3 wouldn't need anything more than a simple firmware update to make the jump to 3D, and it looks like we now have the first evidence of that very firmware update. It's obviously not ready for public consumption just yet, but a debug build of the 3.20 firmware is apparently now making the rounds among developers, and it quite clearly includes a "3D Video Output" option in the settings -- as evidenced by this image courtesy of VG247. Still no word of an exact release date for the firmware, unfortunately, although it should be out sometime this summer.

still need a 3D capable HDTV

 

[BlackDave]

Yeah the 3D capable TV is a slowdown but ps3 working into being 3D is not bad!

It only does everything.

It only does everything.

But play video games!

and i asked myself how james cameron will port 3d avatar on the homescreen ..
problem solved

somewhere I heard that as long as your tv outputs 120hz that it is 3d ready and all you need is the glasses is this true

PS3 has no gaem

Why 3D is going to suck?
Which guy is going to wear a pair of glasses to watch everyday TV.
I'm going to stick to normal TV no matter what.
It'll be much better to have it on the PC though..

They try to make it do everything because it's not good at anything

 

[shakirmoledina]

ps3 just needs the tech, it has a lot of potential...
i bet xbox may be thinking of doing so too

It's a different technique sadly

A 100Hz tv would even be sufficient (for 50hz display which isn't too bad).
In school we have this (older?) technique where all you need is 100 hz and shutter glasses that blocks out each eye at the right time... works really good!
oh, and also some sync device. pretty much like the guitar hero dongles for example. so the glasses know when it should block which eye. really easy tech and wouldn't need people to buy new tv's.. but that's why that tech isn't used... they wanna sell new tv's!

The 3d tv's that is used now are polarized or something, where you bend and block the lightwaves instead... => needing a new tv...

3D? that is so last gen... didnt sony said the PS3 would do 4D?

I dunno, at the CDC (I think) there were still 3D systems being shown with the shutter glasses, on SOny TVs no less (if I remember right)
But remember, polarising glasses are cheaper than Shutter and don't need batteries making the polarising ones the better choice in the long run

The PS3 does 4D. But us humans can't see it.

I really think that it should be made an option... for those who just bought a really expensive tv... doing 100 hz...

 

[NoSmokingBandit]

the whole 3d trend needs to die. Its going to be more of a pain than its worth, imo.

It only does everything.

Where's my breakfast, PS3?

Due to a malfunction in the system's "do everything" panel, it had to throw away the cooked duck it made you.

Sad, eh?

Did 3d work?
