The side effects of running 3D over HDMI 1.3 may cause you to:

1) Hallucinate
2) Pick lice out of people's hair
3) Watch in horror as miniature dolphins break through your tv screen
4) Wear clothes from the 80's

I'd stay away from trying this if I were you.]]>Feb 10th 2010 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/
Technically, it will be HDMI 1.4, sans ethernet and 4k resolution support. Luckily, 1.4 isn't an all-or-nothing spec, which means that some 1.3 devices can be upgraded to support some 1.4 features.

HDMI 1.4 can be carried over the same cable that supports HDMI 1.3- sans HDMI ethernet, which means that theoretically 1.4 can be done from the same pins as 1.3.

PS3 simply has to be upgraded to support 3D frame-packing at 1080p24 and 720p60 to drive 3D video on an HDMI 1.4-compliant display. ]]>Feb 11th 2010 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/Feb 10th 2010 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/You say seizure i say orgasm ^_^]]>Feb 10th 2010 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/
Bayonetta in 3D will definitely produce some of those "seizures."]]>Feb 10th 2010 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/

Agreed. As a gamer, I'm not much into the PS3, since XBOX has a much richer social platform with LIVE; but as an overall entertainment device the PS3 is hard to beat (especially the older ones like mine that handle Hulu nicely through my Linux install). A firmware update to 3D means I'm halfway there. And I'll probably buy a 3D capable TV within the next year or two, once there's enough content being produced to justify the purchase. Sony: this is a good move.]]>Feb 10th 2010 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/Who needs dedicated Blu Ray player when PS3 can do everything with firmware update and play awesome games

What I've heard is that 240 CAN do it ... but your TV needs at least a firmware update for it. And of course, the manufacturer will have to actually provide that update to you. And you'll need the glasses. We'll all have to muddle through some testing to get it figured out.]]>Feb 10th 2010 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/Feb 10th 2010 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/
I think the nvidia shutter glasses will work. I'll definitely be looking into it..

Anyway, you turn some sort of 3D mode on via the TV's menus and it kicks on the glasses...

Damn shame Samsung stopped making that TV. A DLP with an LED lamps is flipping amazing!]]>Feb 10th 2010 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/Feb 10th 2010 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/Feb 10th 2010 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/Feb 10th 2010 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/Feb 10th 2010 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/
you can play blu ray on win7? i dont think you can on os x or linux! not 100% sure though.

blu ray isnt all that to everyone, i've been streaming 1080p just fine for the last couple of month just fine.

Cant wait to try 3d out on the ps3 though!]]>Feb 10th 2010 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/ps3-getting-3d-firmware-update-this-summer/"not 100% sure though."
