PS3 goes 3D on June 10

Sony will kick off the era of stereoscopic 3D gaming on home consoles when PS3 goes 3D on June 10, Sony Japan has confirmed.

On that day Sony will release patches to update the first games on the console to run in full 3D, coinciding with the release of its new 3D Bravia TV sets. Which we want more than life itself.

The first games to go 3D are PSN titles WipEout HD, Super Stardust HD (aka Star Strike HD in Japan) and Pain (aka Mr. Pain). Owners of WipEout HD and Super Stardust will receive the 3D patches for free, which is nice.

Pain owners will, however, need to fork out 300 Yen (around £2.20) to get their 3D patch, although that one comes with new extra modes too. More info on those new modes here.

Sony Japan has also detailed plans for a Bravia promotional campaign which awards these three games and a 3D demo for Motorstorm 2 for free to anyone who buys a Bravia 3DTV set.

This announcement came out of Japan - no word from Sony in our parts of the world yet, but that could be something to do with Spring Bank Holiday (UK) and Memorial Day (US). Expect to know more by tomorrow.
