Sony’s made it official over at the PlayStation Blog – the HD stereoscopic 3D PS3 revolution begins for North America tomorrow. They also want you to know that the console has always been equipped and ready for this event, which makes me feel that there may be an overdose of who did 3D first chest banging in our future.
Anyone lucky enough to own a PS3 and a 3D television (where do you get your money and can I borrow some?) can check out the following games and demos tomorrow – WipEout HD (full game) – Super Stardust HD (full game) – MotorStorm Pacific Rift (demo) – PAIN (Downtown area and tutorial along with three modes, including two new modes created specifically with stereoscopic 3D in mind, Alien Toss and Ice Breaker).
I’ve heard that Wipeout HD doesn’t include the Fury Pack DLC in 3D. I’ve also heard that if you already own the full games in this list that you can upgrade them for free, which is good, because you’re probably going to be paying off your home electronics bill for quite awhile.
ehh. i’m sure it looks nice…. well let me just stop there.

I thought these 3D games were for those funky paper/plastic glasses you wear on your face like that Batman game… I don’t own a 3D TV and I don’t plan on getting one… not for about 10 years maybe. I can’t get any game updates anyways… argh! Sometimes I want to stick a spork in Sony’s leg.

Yea you need a 3D tv, which of course Sony is more than happy to sell you –
“Today, our sister company Sony Electronics announced its 3D capable BRAVIA HDTVs are now available for pre-sale and will ship to retailers later this month. There are a broad range of models available in different screen sizes, some packaged with active glasses and others without, giving consumers the option to choose which 3D entertainment solution works for them.”

BUT if you buy the BRAVIA 3D HDTV you get FOUR (not one, not two, not three but FOUR) free PSN games custom developed for 3D… what, they’re not custom made for 3D but just 3D enabled and thus their resolution went down to 720p intead of 1080p? Ok, you get four free games for your $3,000 investment. Happy now?
