The Sony Ps3 games console has ultimately gained a firmware modernize to introduce preserve for 3D Blu-ray movies, but does this free upgrade give you one of the best 3D Blu-ray players out there? We take a look.
Version 3.50 of the Ps3 firmware was released in the third week of September 2010, and brings with it the long-anticipated preserve for 3D in conjunction with the consoles integrated Blu-ray drive.

Ps3 3D Blu-ray limitations
When inspecting using a Ps3 as a 3D Blu-ray player it appears that their maybe some limitations. This is based on the fact that the Ps3 only has a Hdmi v1.3 port, not v1.4 which is officially required for the playback of 3D material. The lack of the definite port stems from the age of the Ps3 design. Originally released in 2006, Hdmi v1.4 and 3D was something well into the future which Sony couldn't reasonably in case,granted for at the time. This, combined with compatibility issues that require games consoles to declare a set specification means that we are without the definite hardware.
Ps3 3D - Lack of Hd Audio
The main specification change brought about by Hdmi 1.4 is an increase in bandwidth - the amount of data that can pass straight through the cable. This was required in order to get the extra data for the 3D element of the movie straight through to the display device.
In order to achieve 3D playback it looks as straight through Sony has dropped the use of Hd audio formats, thus freeing up some capacity for the added photo information. This means that neither Dolby TrueHd or Dts-Hd are ready when playing 3D content, with both being down-mixed to thorough Dolby Digital 5.1 or Dts.
Ps3 3D photo Quality
Picture capability is superb and categorically comparable with standalone machines such as Sony Bdp-S470 or Samsung's Bd-C6900. The pictures are super-sharp, with the 3D elements popping out at you as they should.
Ps3 3D Menus
Another potential issue being talked about is the inability of the Ps3 to display 3D Blu-ray menus properly. This again is down to bandwidth. Some may appear fine, but those that reach the limits of Hdmi 1.3 data rates will in some way be displayed differently than intended when viewed on the Ps3.
Ps3 3D Conclusion
We must admit that the 3D playing capability of the Ps3 is a disappointment. Whilst pictures are top notch, the lack of Hd sound, one of the Blu-ray formats selling points, is not good. The potential menu issue is also a petite worry. Whilst 3D was never on the Ps3's primary specification list, Blu-ray was and it a theorize why so many people paid so much for the console in the first place.
Whilst there is petite 3D article at the moment, more will come and Ps3 users must determine either to shell out for a standalone engine or put up with a less than perfect operation from the Ps3.
We would hope that another firmware modernize my fix the issue at some point in the future, but as the question centres nearby incorrect hardware we struggle to see if this will ever be possible.
