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."

But they'll still have to squeeze years worth of storytelling into about two hours. Screw that, I'm holding out for 4D.

Okay, seriously -- what do they think, that everyone will just keep several extra sets of funny glasses around so when company comes they can get a headac^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H watch bad fake "3D" too? They're dreaming.

Of course.

1) Create Blu-ray Players
2) Try to push people to buy lots of expensive new hardware and media
3) Keep changing the encryption methods so people are left in the dust if they bought a cheap player
4) Keep changing formats so people have to buy new players
5) Profit!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch some non-DRMed media on my free as in freedom media player over my home network on my Linux desktop... for free.
