PlayStation 3 Will Support 3D Blu-ray Discs

This is why I love the PS3 and Sony, they are always looking ahead and bring new technology to us. Not only that but they make their products future proof so that they can make use of the new technology. And this is the case with the new 3D Blu-ray technology, Sony and The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) has confirmed that the PS3 Blu-ray player will be able to play the new 3D Blu-ray disc movies, bringing Hollywood’s new 3D experience to people’s homes.

The “Blu-ray 3D” specification allows for full HD 1080p quality. Of course, you’ll need a compatible 3D television, which are still quite expensive and very rare. These new specifications are nice, but what is great for PlayStation 3 owners is that the specifications state the console will support 3D Blu-ray discs.

John Koller, Sony Computer Entertainment America’s director of hardware marketing, said 3D gaming is important to the PS3’s success in 2010. It looks like gaming is not the only form of entertainment getting the 3D makeover in 2010; in fact, we’ll probably see a lot of 3D movies coming next year as well.

This is all fine and great if you have teh cash and live in the USA, as for us poor South Africans at the bottom of Africa we will only see this very late in the year or the year after that. News Source.
