Well, technically, the PS3 has been 3D-enabled for about two months. The "PS3D" update (nobody calls it that) was pushed to systems in April. But there weren't any games on the system that support the stereoscopic 3D visual modes. However, during the PlayStation Network maintenance on Wednesday, Sony updated a handful of games/demos on the service to support 3D through your stereoscopic-enabled televisions.
So, what games will you soon be watching fly through your screen and towards your face? The two games that fully support 3D are Wipeout HD and Super Stardust HD. It's important to make the distinction of full 3D support here, because the 3D support of the other two games is most definitely not full. PAIN features stereoscopic 3D on only the tutorial and downtown levels of the game, so your PAIN DLC is not supported. The fourth 3D enabled game is the MotorStorm: Pacific Rift demo. That's the demo, folks. The full retail game is not supported yet... but I have to imagine that if, for instance, Sony announced a new MotorStorm game at E3, that release would feature full stereoscopic 3D support right out of the box.
So, there you go, folks. A console now has built in support for 3D games. This means it's much easier for developers to actually make games that support this 3D business because the basics of that functionality are already in the hardware. 3D-enabled games are going to become more and more prevalent. There's nothing we can do to stop it... well, unless no one buys it. That would put a stop to it pretty quickly.
Are you guys ready to adapt to these news stereoscopic sets and 3D glasses? Or do you still wonder why/if people are really interested in this 3D stuff to begin with? And, regardless of your position, don't you at least agree that Wipeout HD could look badass in 3D?
