3D TV, 3D YouTube coming to PS3, confirms Sony

"Sony Worldwide Studios head of 3D games Mick Hocking has spilled the beans on the company’s future plans for 3D integration on PlayStation 3.

Chatting during a recent event in London, Hocking divulged that future updates will see Sony’s flagship console gaining access to several new features, including 3D TV and 3D YouTube compatibility."

I dont think ill experience 3D this gen,maybe next one, economy is tough.. most people are just getting HDTVs... hope every next gen game is 3D compatible

[ThatCanadianGuy]

I don't want to wait till next gen to start getting into 3D..

I can't afford it right now tho, bills are coming at me from every direction. but, i would like to buy a 3D TV by mid-2011.I figure the prices should be a bit lower by then.(Hopefully)

I REALLY want to try Killzone 3D.

[NYPunkster]

Get a small 24" that's what I'm doing.

[BBAM]

Good luck, 3DTVs are 40"+

[forcefullpower]

Get your facts straight. How do you think they do 3D on a PC.

All those 3D PC gamers must have 40" tv on there PC's

/sarcasm

[WhittO]

Wow they are really pushing 3D!

Seems they are pushing that more than Move.

Could 3D Youtube mean maybe a dedicated App on the way? Or improved web interface for PS3?

[darthv72]

they have a vested interest in the tech from both the hardware development as well as media creation stand points.

Sony is a company that not only makes the tv's and players but also produces movies and tv shows. With their connections in both markets, they have the power to get almost anything done. Just look at bluray vs hddvd (yeah I know, I know)

Do you think they didnt use their influence in the movie biz to get other studios to support it. Not to mention their influence in the hardware biz to get other makers as well? Sony is the best at that sort of thing.

All they need to do is make computer operating software and they would truly be an all inclusive company. From design to mfg to market to the home.

No other company I know of has that kind of clout.

edit: just so people know, I am not digging at blu but simply making a common sense statement.

[sikbeta]

Yep, Sony Have Stakes in Every Industry that Can Push 3D to make it Mainstream:

Sony Pictures Entertainment
Sony Pictures Television
Bravia
PlayStation
Blu-Ray

I'm all For 3D in everywhere, but the More Important for Me is 3D Gaming + Movies...

[garos82]

this is great news.
the more content for 3d tvs to display the more reason to own one.

i have no doubt that sony will provide content to satisfy those who want to see things in the 3rd dimension.

now all that remains is to get a second job...

[blackpanther25]

3Dtv for $1400 on amazon....thats what im getting

[N4PS3Fanboys]

Cheap? Hmm...

[mugoldeneagle03]

But I will thank 3D TV's for lowering the price of regular HDTV's. I saw a 42in Samsung at Best Buy last week for like $500. Insane how fast prices are dropping. I'll probably pick up a nice 40-50in 1080p next, then go for 3D late next year. Hopefully by then we'll see some newer models w/ better specs

[darthv72]

Actually...at that price it may be the one i am thinking of. It would be a 720p plasma PN42B450. It is a 3d tv surprisingly. I have that tv but dont have the glasses kit just yet.

Great colorful picture but the damn glass is so reflective. I will be getting an lcd for the front room and move this one into the game room where i like to game in lower light.

[popup]

Within a year it is possible that pretty much every new TV is '3D Ready' and all you need is the 'Transmitter and Glasses pack' to experience it.

That way, a whole new generation of buyers will all have the capability. Either you buy the glasses pack or you don't.

I have already got all the TV's I need for a while but there will be some 32 monitors that work with the PS3 at some point and I may go that way and just sit closer :)

[jjohan35]

Can Sony please add NTFS support for external devices? PS3's currently support only FAT32, which makes viewing anything larger than 4GB impossible.

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

Sony has confirmed 3D music for PS3. Also the manuals for all ps3 games will be 3D with a patch coming soon for manuals already on the market.

EDIT: Twas merely a joke ppl -.-. I'm excited about 3D as much as the next guy. And I would love 3D music.

[thehitman]

more??

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

next time I'll remember to put "/s" at the end. I think this is the first time I've been mistaken for trolling. And ironically I'm a sony fanboy O_O.

[Jrome]

LMAO it's ok, I got the joke...it's to the extreme but it's basically what's happening. lol

[klado]

Yeah, troll spotted by himself though, since the fck? surround sound is the 3D sound kid and it is been in the market for a long time.

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

surround sound isnt 3D sound. Thats just sound coming from multiple directions. I could have 4 tvs on all sides of me, it doesnt mean I'm watching 3D tv.
(Not that Ive tried it....)

[jack_burt0n]

@exgamer

You should try and get a listen to a good DTSMA/PCM 7.1 sound system its as big a leap from SDTV to 1080p compared to dolby and dts its alot better than 90% of cinemas I wish they would hurry up and make a bluray music standard.

[NYPunkster]

This fanboy isht is getting out of hand...they can't even take a joke. lame!

[BBAM]

you are aware of surround sound right?

[halojunkie]

sweet

[T9X69]

Great, now I can get Rick Rolled in 3D.......son of a bitch.

[Why o why]

..lol

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Boo...

[RageAgainstTheMShine]

Lolz!

but yeah Google TV on PS3 Plus is very welcome in our house

[Spenok]

LMAO! Its definitly a welcome adition though.

[thebudgetgamer]

hopefully we can get google chrome on ps3.

[mrv321]

This is like the story of Bigger Jaws where two people join forces to fight a common enemy ( Microsoft is competition more than a enemy )

[Jrome]

Yeh, sony's making a smart move to work with google. Google is a powerful name.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

so the PS3 is getting a you tube app then? about time. and yea, good to see friendly ties with google.

[nunley33]

And with google search on PS3 and now 3d youtube sounding alot like an awesome killer app that will only be available on PS3, Google Chrome is alot more likely than Firefox to replace the browser. I wanna see more teaming up with partners to take on microsoft, Even though they are U.S. and Sony is Japan. But google is U.S. too, so there.

[BaSeBaLlKiD721]

Perhaps PSP2 will have some sort of Android to rival the iPhone.

[Lombax]

WIN!

Though I'll never see it... :(

[Godmars290]

The thing that gives 3D any value is that its not common.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I don't understand that standpoint.

[Godmars290]

Just think of the difference between Avatar, a decent enough movie made especially for 3D, and Clash of the Titians, a crappy movie that just had 3D tacked on.

Basically, making it readily available to any producer, filmmaker or Youtuber for that matter will cheapen it.

[Basil-Rathboner]

Just out of curiosity Comet - UK High street retailer Samsung LE 40 inch 3D HDTV -- 917.10 pounds which converts to 1381.61 US dollars. Hopefully by Christmas or in the January sales great 3D bargains will be found.

edit just to add normal Comet price 1199.99 - You can save 282.88. That was just a quick 5 min search, perhaps with deeper delving others will no doubt find better prices.

[blackpanther25]

that as well online

[Basil-Rathboner]

I have just found the same deal at Amazon UK (same tv same price) with free delivery.
Samsung LE 40 C750.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Wouldn't PS3 need a dedicated youtube app for this to stream properly or no?

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Nice!

I'm actually pretty excited for this. :)

[Ares84PS3]

....would arrive tomorrow!!

Can't wait for this stuff.

[skip2mylou]

if anyones complaining about prices look up on google samsung panasonic and other 3d tv makers are gonna drop pricing in about late 2011-mid 2012

[R_aVe_N]

3D porn incoming........ splooooosh!!!!

[ranmafandude]

you wanna take over youtube too lol.

[washingmachine]

bout time we get youtube support,even if only an app
