[Rumor] 3D Netflix Streaming Coming to PS3?

GXC: "Sony is no stranger to pushing 3D media through different avenues – Their 3D TVs, movies, video games, you name it. 3D programming and media has been made available on the PlayStation 3 through the PSN store, apps like VUDU, and games. Well, the next source of your 3D entertainment may be coming from one of the largest sources of online entertainment in North America – Netflix."

Netflix would be wise to add this feature to their already great portfolio of titles. As an early adopter of 3D, Dark Sniper will be delighted to use this feature exclusively on his PlayStation®3 Home Entertainment Processor.

As it stands right now, only PlayStation®3 provides consumers the ability to jump into the third dimension with a complete library of blu-ray movies, Netflix and the greatest exclusives known to man. He will enjoy this fine addition as Netflix and Sony partner up once again to give us the best entertainment possible.

I have the 3D PlayStation Display and would love to get more use out of it so I would like this.

I'm not sure my internet connection would be fast enough for this but... We'll see!

DeadlyFire4441d ago

This is no rumor. It will happen. Just a matter of when.

I personally am fine with HD and don't care for 3D, but it will come about anyway.

fluffydelusions4441d ago

Hm..I smell a new payment model

$7.99 streaming
$9.99 3D streaming

or something like that...

LOGICWINS4441d ago

Doubt it. Very FEW titles will be able to stream in 3D in the beginning. It wouldn't make sense for Netflix to charge an extra $2 per month just so you can watch three or four titles in 3D.

hellvaguy4441d ago

Netflix and Redbox charge extra if you rent a blue-ray instead of a dvd, so Id say its pretty certain they will charge for a 3d option.

360GamerFG4441d ago

Did everyone else just read this pile and ignore it?? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here.

Hmmm.

Bare in mind it is a streaming service, and to portray 3D through streaming through the internet can be rather rough.

I aint saying it's a bad idea, but it's "an idea" that could at the very least be tested.

OmegaSaiyanX4441d ago

Easy for me got BT fibreoptic 40mb, already streaming HD content and 3D would be an awesome addition!
Already had a Samsung D6530 but getting a 46inch D7000 hopefully this week.

this would be awesome i stream 3d movies from my pc to my tv all the time as thats where i keep them or through my 60mb virgin so i wouldn't have a problem with any speed issues. and would love a service that provides more 3d content the only thing i really use my 3dtv for is gaming at the minute. but with the Olympics coming up and bbc broadcasting it in 3d and all this buzz going on it is starting to look like the 3d stuff is starting to pick up pace. everyone need to get ready for it, everyone said they didnt need a hdtv when they came out, now look!!

On Amazon, you can't get an RTX 4090 for less than this one from Gigabyte, which now offers great value after an eye-catching April deal.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing696h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker6h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing696h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.
