3D PS3 firmware out June 10?

via Computer and Video Games


It's tenuous, but a fumbled Google translation of a Japanese report on stereoscopic 3D tech has led to reports that Sony could release its planned 3D update for PS3 on June 10.

Slapping AV Watch's report through Google translate brings up the sentence: "'LX900 Sun June 10, according to the release, PlayStation 3 and update, 3D stereoscopic gaming titles to launch' he said."

The "translation", to be fair, might as well be in Spanish, but it has a date and the words 'PS3 update' in the same sentence, so let's call it speculation-worthy - unless there are any Japanese-speaking CVG readers out there who'd be so kind as to translate it to actual English in the comments field below...

Sony has confirmed plans to release a 3D firmware update around the same time that the first 3D TVs are due to arrive - which is this summer.

SONY think we are going to upgrade sometime around the time of the newer firmware, which for me wont happen anytime soon.

Hopefully they have an update for the regular HDTV users. :)
