I just found the title amusing.

Edit: News Flash, I fail at posting console news in the PC forums.

I guess since there's an nVidia GPU inside, they will use 3D Vision for gaming? Or something similar? Then again, on PCs it cuts the performance in half... And since the PS3 ain't no power horse to begin with, I wonder how they will manage that? So is the Xbox360 for that matter, so shoo fanboys (and I own one!)

As for Blu-Rays, the update will include support for the new codec for 3D, I guess? You won't fit as much stuff in 3D as with regular content, but one disc will still be enough as thanks to special algorithms the 3D stuff will take "only" 50% more space.

And yeah, wrong forum

Its old news, probably same tech that the new 3d blu ray players will have. Not sure about games though
