June will make 3D gaming on Sony’s PlayStation 3 a reality at last.
Gamers will first need to download the June firmware update which brings
3D compatibility to PS3s. Then they will have to purchase a 3D capable
television, like the Sony HX803 which is coincidentally set to launch in
June as well. And finally, a pair of 3D glasses will be necessary as a
separate purchase to complete your entertainment system.
If that looks like a pretty expensive proposition to you, all for
cutting edge 3D technology in your home, you might be happy to hear that
at least the first 3D PS3 games will be free. So long as you have
purchased a HX803 model, of course, and live in Europe. As reported by 1up.com, four free games will be available,
including Wipeout HD, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, PAIN and Super Stardust
HD. Sony has hinted that folks in the US will have some free options as
well, but says that they may not be the same as those offered overseas.
Although none of them are brand new franchises, the games are tried and
true and should offer some decent entertainment while gamers wait for
the major 3D titles, like Little Big Planet and Killzone 2.

Well, this is probably not too bad for anyone who was already in the market for a new TV and has a PS3... They could just wait til June and get the HX803 (or equivalent cheaper model if possible) then and revel in the 3D gaming. Though I don't actually think that it's going to work out too well. It's probably going to end up being too costly for the average Joe to go 3D. (At least at first anyway. Though if they bring the prices down for 3D TVs then it might work better as an incentive to go with a 3D over just a regular HD.)
