Sony's plans to implement 3D support into all existing PS3 consoles haven't exactly been well-kept secrets. Bits of information have popped-up from time to time, but now we have solid details straight from Sony's hardware marketing director John Koller:

"Out of the box, the PS3 is great, because as many people know who are watching this, you don't need to do anything with your PS3. It's gonna take just a simple firmware update--most people do those firmware updates regularly--that's all it's going to take to acclimate [any] PS3 to 3D gaming. You will need a 3D TV and glasses, but to...have that kind of complete experience with the PS3, it's just a simple firmware update."

As anyone who follows CES news knows, 3D support is all the buzz this year. Sony has been showing off 3D demos of Super Stardust HD and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - which has of course led to false confirmations. In response, Koller stated the following:

"[3D versions of Super Stardust HD and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue] aren't confirmed, those are just demos [being shown at CES]. We are going to announce a [3D game] lineup soon. The first and third-party lineup is going to be substantial, it's a pretty robust list of games...new IP, new franchises but also existing franchises [that] really kind of place the player in the game."

Lastly, Koller ended with this small, yet important, note.

"Movies will require a separate firmware update, that'll be...later in the year."

So, like it or not, 3D is on the way. Get ready for a heart attack if a 3D version of Silent Hill is released...
