Sony Announces First 3D Blu-ray Disc Players

Posted by timothy on from the please-remaster-that-boring-casablanca dept.

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."

    Can the TV industry all stand behind the new HDMI or Displayport spec?

    If they claimed to stand behind it, would you trust them?

    I can imagine this being announced by most, implemented by some, and then abandoned by all due to industry spats and lack of consumer interest. Then a lucky few will own the TV equivalent of 1970s laserdisc players.

    HDMI is supported by just about everything save for Apple.

    Including the launch PS3 (I think they were 20/60 GB)? Only so much you can do with a system update.

    Remember when 3D used to mean they had two dimensions and a story!
