PlayStation 3's first 3D title updates coming June 10th to Japan
Good news / bad news, folks. First with the smiles: PlayStation 3's first 3D-enabling updates are due out on June 10th for downloadable titles Super Stardust HD, WipEout HD, and Pain. The first two games get the added dimension for gratis, but Pain lovers (who should be accustomed by now to its abundant premium add-ons) will need to fork over ¥300 (approximately $3.28) for the benefit. The other stickler is that these updates are so far only announced for Japan -- and by merit of a Bravia promotion, Europe as well. So what's a North American gamer with a penchant for wearing special glasses to do? Keep waiting, true believers.
























Shame that WipEout HD only runs 3D in 720p. It looks beautiful in 1080p. Zone mode is something else.
@Becauseitsnotgoogle2 it has A LOT of games i wish came to the 360 as well...
Your trolling is annoying even to me who loves Microsoft, go away
@Becauseitsnotgoogle2
you make me laugh so hard dude
you must have no life other than trolling
@Becauseitsnotgoogle2. Troll all you want Troll. I will keep Oblivion Bombing you every time until your entire species are wiped out like the vermin you are. You're vermin, and I'll slaughter you like vermin. And not just the males...but the females and offspring too
@richb93 There are plenty of games available on the PS3 I would love to have. Wipeout, oddly enough, is a game I've seem come up 3 times today. wtf? Maybe its time for me to buy one.
@Becauseitsnotgoogle2 are you serious? Uncharted 2 was one of the BEST games ever made and MW2 is a modders/cheaters paradise
@SteveyAyo He is just and idiot dude. He will be banned again soon enough. Just the sad part is there is no shortage of these likes jumping in here to take his place.
@Becauseitsnotgoogle2 "mag is a poor mans mw2"
Then Alan Wake is a poor mans Uncharted meets Luigi's Mansion meets Left for Dead.
@Becauseitsnotgoogle2
Uncharted 2 10/10
@Becauseitsnotgoogle2
then go and play with your wii and your inflatable kart that you can't fit in
@richb93
Imagine playing a 3d games while trippin out on some good ol' mary Janes or some yummy acid treats? The japenese homies know how to have a good damn time -_-... We need pitbulls vs rottweilers in 3d and you have me sold!

@Becauseitsnotgoogle2
go back to 2005 homo
@Lord Vader just by having your name you deserve to ranked highly
@richb93 albeit the playstation 3 does have alot less games than the 360 i still love playstation for having alot of sick games especially when final fantasy Versus XIII comes out =P
@Becauseitsnotgoogle2
I just love it when a dumb troll such as yourself uses those four magical words, "PS3 has no games" in any article related to the PS3. Here's a splash of reality for ya:
God of War III, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, MAG, Heavy Rain, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and coming up; Killzone 3, Gran Turismo 5 and LittleBigPlanet 2! I'm sure you have or never will play any of these wonderful titles as you're too busy bashing the PS3 with fanboy BS.
pshaw I'll just use my Japan Account and get he update from there. i got a 240Hz tv...720p 3D will do me just fine.
@Tothamax at this point i dont think ANYONE will plat GranTurismo5 lol
@richb93 I'll be happy if this will be previewed on this 84 inch 3d screen. http://j.mp/lg-biggest-lcd-in-the-world
Why am I just so uninterested in 3D ?
It's almost the exact opposite of the feeling I'll get when somebody actually releases a viable alternative to the iPad !
@Threlly I was actually wondering if I was the only person wholly uninterested in 3D gaming. Maybe when they release those 'Playstation 9 spores' I'll be more interested.
@Threlly
I also have no interest in 3D gaming, 3D movies give me a headache I feel gaming could be worse. Might care when they create better 3D viewing technology.
@Threlly
While I'm not totally disinterested, I just don't care about 3D at this point due to its lack of refinement (needs a solution that doesn't require glasses, or at least allow minimal need for peripherals). I can't help but feel like 3D will be for games what CG is for a lot of poorly conceived movies: bloatware.
Come on Sony, give us Gran Turismo 5 already!
I got to play Wipeout HD in 3D at my local Sony Style store... was one of the coolest things I have ever done. darn shame this stuff is only in japan right now :*(
I saw a non-playable demo of Motorstorm 2, and was shocked at how good it was (demoed from a PS3 to a Sony Bravia).
To get this game in the US, you can create a Japanese account (search for tutorials on creating Japanese accounts). Don't know about entering CC# with Japanese prompts, but hopefully someone will post a tutorial for *that* too!

If regular Wipeout HD caused seizures... then what does Wipeout H3D cause?!
Joking about the whole seizure thing. :) I love Wipeout HD. Such a fantastic game. But too bad my TV doesn't have 3D :(
Still own my original PSX copy of WipeOut (the one that came in the long box). Man this game has come a long way since those days lol. Hard as hell in my opinion, but at least I can get my ass kicked in 3D now. I'm stoked for this release.
So wait...How am I and others with helmets and glasses meant to experience this "3D"? If I take off my mask I will die shortly after. Is it worth it to continue my Eliminator matches in 3D?
@Lord Vader dude, you already have 3d projectors :)
@Becauseitsnotgoogle2
I dont see a smiley
@Becauseitsnotgoogle2 you troll on every single post and hate on almost EVERYTHING. its much more annoying
@Becauseitsnotgoogle2 You're just angry because I wiped out your entire race
@Becauseitsnotgoogle2
I used to support you because on occasion you do make good points but dude stop attacking people. I am a troll on this site too but you take it kinda too far lol.
@Mike Vick You kill puppies 'nuff said
@Mike Vick You kill puppies, 'nuff said
@Becauseitsnotgoogle2
You add irrelevant posts to half the articles on this site. That is beyond annoying.
@Lord Vader You will never be able to wipe that race as long as I keep supporting them.
Now, dismiss.
@Becauseitsnotgoogle2 , Mike Vick , My Trollers...
Welcome your master.I finally decided to revile myself from shadow.
Lets our operation raise.

Engadget soon will be mine.
I'll play something like that without 3D ty.
this is awesome!
im off to shop for a nice 3D projector! do they even make one for the homes?
i refuse to buy or watch anything in 3d until the glasses are removed from the experience thank you, also wont if they charge extra for it
I'm sorry but I couldn't be more disinterested in 3D gaming.
@SParklingCYaNide
Same here, it's really not appealing to anyone that I know, including myself.
just get my seizure glasses ready and nausea bucket too we are going for a ride
I love how "3D" is just as big a buzzword as 15 years ago, but means something completely different.
I played this at TGS last year and I can tell you that even as a hardcore gamer after a race or two you'll have had enough...
Please help- will this be able to run in 3D on my current TV or will I need a special "3D TV" to run it?
You need a 3D TV
@KwietStorm Thanks! I swear I read that you don't somewhere, but I guess I didn't.
@tusing You probably DID read that somewhere. It would have just been incorrect. :-)
Pain lovers?
