Sony PlayStation 3 Officially Supports Blu-ray 3D Playback
When it first came out, Sony's PlayStation 3 game console was the easiest way to have a Blu-ray disc (BD) player, because the console uses BD as its primary media. With a new firmware update from Sony, users can add Blu-ray 3D support. It is especially interesting because not every older standalone Blu-ray player supports the latest 3D format. Firmware update 3.50 applies to all versions of the PlayStation 3 (that's Slim and the original design). The move to let the PS3 have Blu-ray 3D support was backed by an announcement that upcoming game titles on the PS3, such as Gran Turismo 5 and Killzone 3 will come in stereoscopic 3D.

I've tried 3DBR at a station in Best Buy before, it was really cool. Not uncomfortable at all.
I already have a PS3 Slim, but i don't have the money to afford a 3D ready TV.:(
and i'm set!! been waitin for Gran Turismo 5 for the longest! I see why Polyphony Digital
pushed the game back so far. they wanted 3-d support. well worth the wait!! woo-hoo!!
:rockout::pimp::respect:
:(
Hell, my Emporio Armani glasses I wear cost me 245$ (-5 both eyes, 3rd highest thinning)
Nevermind me going 3D with the PS3 then, that's way to much for some ugly ass glasses that are supposed make things pop out at me.
Btw thats a nice pair of shades :p
Unless you make the cardboard glasses lol
Edit: Since you're in Adelaide that would not quite make it in their delivery range haha.
And 250 bucks for a pair of glasses?!?! Since when?! The samsung battery powered ones are 100, rechargables are 200. The starter kit (if you do some shopping) is $190 and comes w/ monsters vs aliens 3d and 2 sets of battery glasses. Still, they are insanely expensive and fragile (as I found the hard way) but not THAT insanely expensive.
On a slightly side note but still 3d related. I am amazingly impressed with the quality of it. I thought it was going to be stupid like in the theaters but the active glasses make a world of difference. Super Startdust HD in 3d is beyond top notch at showing how true 3d is supposed to function without all the gimmicky tricks. I was laughing when I played it the first time because it was so good.
