Sony Announces First 3D Blu-ray Disc Players
angry tapir writes "Sony has announced a new 3D Blu-ray Disc player and upgrades to existing players so that they will be able to show high-definition 3D movies too. The company introduced the BDP-S470 Blu-ray Disc model and upgraded existing home theater systems, which will be able to play Blu-ray movies when related firmware for the devices is released later this year. Movies based on the Blu-ray 3D specification, which was finalized by the Blu-ray Association in December, can be shown on the players."
Let me know when they release the first 4D Blu-ray disc players.
Finally, a 3D blue-ray player! I keep losing my 2-dimensional player when the wind blows it under the couch. It's impossible to see from the side, since it is infinately thin, so I have to move the couch to be able to see it from the top or bottom. They should have made them 3 dimensional in the first place!
Who would win this election: Andrew Weiner vs Andrew Weiner's weiner.
I gotta say I can't wait for 3D BluRay discs to come out. I keep accidentally losing the 2D ones between the atoms of my couch!

A 3-dimensional player would have been nice. All I have is a 2-dimensional Blu-ray player.
Figuring out the physics behind how to convert a 3-dimensional Blu-ray disc into 2-dimensional space and back so it could work with my 2-dimensional player was a bit tough, but once you get the hang of it it's not so bad.
Oh wait.... you're talking about stereoscopic video, not the actual spacial dimensionality of the physical player.
Sorry.
Faith is a willingness to accept something w/o complete proof and to act on it. Reason allows you to correct that faith.
Future generations will have genetically engineered polarized corneas for the purpose.
If 2D BluRay comes on a flat disc, does 3D BluRay come on a sphere?
