A free software update for all Sony Playstation 3 owners on Sept 21st will enable playback of 3-D Blu-ray movies and games.
Sony’s Hiroshi Kawano made the announcement at the Tokyo Game Show this morning, according to the AP’s Yuri Kageyama.
The update is actually being pushed out early to capitalize on the popularity of 3-D movies, and to coincide with the Sept 19th US release of Sony’s new Move motion-controller wand.
The release of the Move and 3-D video playback also puts Sony ahead of rival Microsoft, whose Kinect video-capture system won’t be released in North America until November. Sony wants to be the first in the console gaming and home theater markets to offer an integrated three-dimensional experience — at a lower cost (just $99 for the Move package).
