Our good pal and forum friend, AdventWolf, tipped us off about this little bit of tech news. Jumping straight in, for a few years this type of 3D technology has been being developed – originally targeting the PC gaming scene through Nvidia. The technology released was dubbed, “Geforce 3D Vision“. Interestingly enough, for those who don’t know, the PS3’s graphics processor, the “RSX”, is created by Nvidia, so this type of 3D technology has only been an earshot away from being used with the PS3. It was just a matter of time. Now, it seems, that technology may become a new feature with the upcoming firmware release, 3.20. Currently at firmware 3.15, if speculation holds true, it shouldn’t be long before people are able to download a simple firmware update to possibly take hold of some great extra graphical features.

The downside? Yes, there is a downside. The downside is that you’re going to need a 120hz television/ computer monitor in order to experience this extra feature – something only the big spenders currently have access to. The monitor will need to be a native 120hz screen unless you purchase something like a Mitsubishi DLP monitor which come with the necessary hardware to boot. The DLP TV’s may only need to be set to 60hz as well even though they support 120hz and overall may support higher resolutions (1680×1050 for a standard 120hz LCD compared to 1920×1080 for a DLP HDTV). I suppose it may also be considered to be a downside that you will need to wear 3D glasses also – something which some people may not appreciate.

For now, most of this is rumor and speculation, but now that this information is coming mostly from developers that have hands-on access to the newest firmware update, this news seems pretty likely to be an upcoming release that may add some extra functionality to your PS3.
