| It's quite obvious that the Playstation3 only needs a simple firmware update to upgrade to 3D video output. A debug build of the 3.20 firmware shows that this is indeed true. |
VG247 did get some pictures of a new debug build of PS3’s Firmware, clearly showing a “3D video output” option. This is apparently now in the hands of developers.
SCEA’s John Koller, speaking at CES in January, said that, “It’s gonna take just a simple firmware update which most people do regularly anyway, and that’s all it’s gonna take to accolade the PS3 to 3D gaming.”
He added: “It’s just a simple firmware update on the hardware.”
Koller did add a caveat, saying, “You will, however, have to have a 3D TV and the glasses to get the full experience and Blu-ray movies in 3D will require a separate firmware update, which will be required by the end of the year”.
It's not clear when this firmware update will be released.
