If you've been dying to play 3D-enabled PS3 games, know that an update to add this functionality is probably coming soon. For Japan, we know that the update will come on June 10th, and seeing as how they usually get feature updates at about the same time we do, I think it's safe to assume we'll see 3D in June. I mean, E3 is in two weeks.
The first three games to get the updates will be Super Stardust HD, WipEoutHD and Pain. Pain requires a 300 yen charge to add 3D functionality, but the other two are free. Well, free after the new $1500+ television you'll have to purchase to see it.
In a Sony Bravia promotion, Sony will be shipping these three games along with a demo of the 3D-ized Motorstorm 2 in Japan. So that's four games. None are "must haves," but this is a decent start for 3D.

Is one of the BEST PS3 games ever!
It's the Killzone 2 of Racers in terms of graphics.
But 3D that would be cool for those who don't already own it...
I'll wait to pickup MotorStorm 3 however!!!
anyone who disagrees is sorely mistaken and a racist
Bias much?
I read somewhere that you have to lower the resolution in order for the PS3 to render games in 3D. If so, do not want. Lowering the resolution is a stupid solution just for some gimmick. I rather go with better textures, AA, Multi-sampling, and higher frame rate than useless 3D that lowers the resolution.
Methinks I will wait at the very least 2 years to get a 3D set. I dint want to buy one and have standard go from HDMI 1.4 to HDMI 2.0 or something. As it is HDMI 1.4 features a different connection than 1.3.
As long as the 3D doesn't ruin the graphics resolution...
So what? The game is fun. Do you care so much about the graphics? What about gameplay, you know, the reason we play games?

Funny thing is, I transferred €5 from the exact same Card less than 20 minutes before that.
