PS3 3D Blu-ray firmware in October

Sony big boss Howard Stringer has said their planned firmware update for the PlayStation 3 to support 3D Blu-ray discs will be arriving October.

This is a month later than originally planned but there’s hardly anything 3D on Blu-ray so it’s no biggie. The discs contain 3D versions for 3D TVs.

James Cameron’s Avatar, Spider-man 3 and Green Hornet are all set for 3D Blu-ray release later, as well as Michael Jackson’s This Is It and Alice in Wonderland. Right now though there are extremely slim pickings to enjoy anything 3D at home.
