PS3's summer 3D firmware is all fun and games... and no Blu-ray movie support?

If you want you and your loved ones looking like the family pictured alongside this text, sitting in front of the TV gazing at 3D dolphins emanating from a PlayStation 3 through your television console, your best bet is to envision Ecco, not Flipper.* According to TechRadar, Sony has clarified that the summer firmware update to enable 3D applies to games only, and that 3D Blu-ray movie support will come with a second update due out later this year. We haven't been able to confirm the announcement ourselves, but suddenly, that freebie copy of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 3D isn't looking so tantalizing.

* Hypothetically speaking, of course. We have no confirmation on a 3D version of Sega's Ecco the Dolphin or Season 3 of Flipper, featuring "The Most Expensive Sardine in the World."

What are you trying to to do with this possible no Blu-ray support Engadget, scare us?

So PS3 will be the first one (amongst other consoles) to support 3d and we are still whining the lack of some video feature.

O_o

That's so damn gay !

I read the headline as *literally* meaning "no Blu-ray support" - as in Sony was removing that feature from existing PS3's.

Which wouldn't surprise me after the 3.21 firmware.

The shark still looks fake.

Old news. Sony themselves reported this. When they announced that there would be 3D firmware coming they always said there would be too installmants, with games first followed by support for movies .
