It begins: Four PS3 games go 3D starting tomorrow photo

Many of us really aren't sold on this whole stereoscopic 3D thing -- whether it be for movies, sports, or even gaming -- like, at all. But hey, that's not going to stop companies like Sony from pushing forward with the trend while it's still all up in our faces.

The new line of 3D-capable Bravia HDTVs will soon be appearing in stores, now that they are up for presale. Wait, isn't this a gaming blog? Yeah. Here's the relevance: four PlayStation 3 games are going 3D tomorrow for those with a fancy-pants TV and the willingness to flip the magical dimension-adding switch.

Those titles are WipEout HD, Super Stardust HD, PAIN, and the demo for MotorStorm Pacific Rift. If you happen to buy one of the aforementioned Bravia sets, you'll get a voucher for these PlayStation Network downloads.

Yes, this is only a taste of what's to come. 3D support has also been announced for The Fight: Lights Out, which actually sounds somewhat interesting to me. PlayStation Move working in conjunction with 3D could be cool, I guess.

Really don't give a shit, but while we're here are the Bravia TVs better than the Samsung 3D TVs? I've heard the Samsung models take 40 minutes to warm up before you get the full 3D effect, which is ridiculous. Who wants to wait 40 minutes to get a fucking migraine?

I guess that's cool, but I'm not going to be able to see this. No one would ever want to buy a $1500 gimmick.

It's only $2,000 for a 3D Bravia 40", which I think is a pretty sweet deal.

Having said that, there's nothing I care about. Not until they get all of Planet Earth on 3D Blu-Ray.

Screw you guys, I have perfect 20/20 vision, stereoscopic 3d doesn't give me headaches, and when the time comes for a new tv it's going to be 3d.

I've been pretty impressed by the stereoscopic 3d films I've seen.

So yeah, screw your anti-hype I'm stoked.

I bet against 3D. It fucking sucks. Glad it gives you a boner @Sexualchocolate; maybe I am getting too old and I just cant wrap my tired brain around such cutting edge tech. Then again, they've been saying 3D is the next big thing for 50+ years. So forgive me if I am not buying into it now.

I am excited for this amazing technology I will have at a reasonable price in ten years, when something far greater begs me to wait to upgrade for a reasonable price.
I will still be rocking my crappy tube and using other people's expensive TVs until then... because I can't bring myself to spend so much money on toys- even really cool ones.

@Bigmoose85: You're right. Real 3d probably will take over especially for gaming. Of course who knows when someone will invent that. This is just a cheap effect people have been using for 100 years already that comes up once a decade or so until we remember it's shit.

@ bigmoose85,

"real 3d will be the future of gaming, all you losers can stay in the past with your bitch ass NES & stupid 8-bit shit."

You sound like an ignorant redneck with your Reductio ad Absurdum. But, hey.. if it makes you feel better to insult people that happen to disagree with you then you go for it, tough guy.

As 3D stands right now, I think it's a stupid gimmick. Wanna fight about it?

Now one day in the far off future it may somehow become more compelling as technology gets better and it's not so obtrusive. But until that happens it's not going to be the future of anything.. except our landfills.

I agree with most people here, 3D sounds like a cool idea, but until they develop it more, it's nothing more than an extremely expensive gimmick. I mean what kinda tool would be a 3D TV right now when just about nothing supports it? It'd be like buying an HDTV when there are no HD channels, HD movies, or HD games.

I'm sure 3D will be "the shit" in 5-10 years, but as for now, color me uninterested.

I'm gonna get one, even if other games and movies take awhile to catch up I'll be happy with the investment. Now i'd say I hope the tvs can be upgraded firmware wise cuz if not what a waste if they update it sooner than later.

I run an HDTV store, and I gotta say 3D is not all it's cracked up to be. We have a display at the store of the 42" Bravia 3D. It's cool in short bursts ,but the headache thing is a huge factor. That being said we do move a lot of them on a regular basis because of impulse buyers.

Im not going to lie, I'm interested in the 3D thing but I just spent $3k on my Samsung 46" LCD just over 2 years ago so I'm not really in the market at ALL but I do enjoy the depth perception that 3D gaming provides, mind you I've only messed around with PC 3D games.

@ Bigmoose85,

"I remember back when people threw a shit fit about the switch from 2d to 3d. most gamers are still stuck in the past & if you cant move on, well you can just stay there."

You say this as if 3D is suddenly the mainstream and has already proven that it isn't a fad, yet. It hasn't. 3D, if it's here to stay, has a loooong way to go before it gets the point where you get to call others "stuck in the past". Therefore I ask you, what the hell are you talking about?

"Haters gonna Hate. "

And people that spout dumb shit gonna spout dumb shit.

It is funny how much hatred 3D gets. It's a fad, get over it! I don't see the problem with it. I don't have the TV to play this, but I am interested to see how this works. In a few years time, who knows where this can go?
Remember people, 3D will always be optional, like it has been most of the time. Don't like it? Don't use it.

I think *you're* stuck in the past. This lame, gimmicky 3D tech was developed in like the 1950's.. This isn't a new technology.. It's not even really 3D.. you realize that right.

Just like blu-ray was supposed to be the next big thing... OH WAIT.

I still can't believe that they're going with active shutter technology to get 3D into people's homes when there is existing technology to use polarized glasses that are less likely to cause headaches or eye strain. From my experience the 3D also looks cleaner with less ghosting.

You bros realise 3d for TV's is pretty different to 3d at the cinemas, right? 3D for tv's sucks right now.

Thantos, 3d for cinemas sucks too... Nothing like a dim image in a dark room that you have to wear sunglasses to see...

By contrast, the new 3d TVs are at least backlit. I still haven't seen the killer app for 3d, but I think TV's are and will be doing 3d much better than cinemas until they can come up with a way to get the image back up to the luminance of a 2d film.

The Panasonic P50VT20B is the best plasma screen you can get at the minute for normal 2D, and the 3D is an added bonus. 3D quality is nothing like you get at the cinema as you get full HD quality at home. Image is a big darker but guess what? You can actually turn brightness up! Although on this TV you don't need to. LCD 3D isn't as good as the screen response times are slower than plasma. I can't believe how much you all moan at new technology - Which it is new technology because as far as i'm aware this is the first time full HD 3D has been available at home. Anyway i'm future proof and can't wait to play Wipeout 3D. :P

This is all the same shit haters said about hd, and blu-ray, and dvd, and mp3, and cd, and vhs.

For a bunch of people who share such a progressive hobby you guys sure are afraid of change.
