Sony wants to revolutionise computer games by making them available in 3D, it has been suggested.

Last week, the digital company released a firmware update for the PS3 computer console, confirming its intentions to change the way people play computer games.

It began selling its first 3D games, including WipEout HD, Super Stardust HD and PAIN, last Thursday (June 10th).

Note that Pain was free when I bought a PS3 80GB (old bc version). And the 3d upgrade was free to all Pain owners. I believe, but don't own them to know, that Wipeout and Super Stardust 3d upgrades were also free to owners of the game.

I have now tried 3 of the 3d games on my Samsung 3d plasma. The Super Stardust works quite well but is essentially a Spherical field of play. Pain only has certain segments in 3d. The effect is fair. MLB 10 The show left me so disappointed in its 3d effects that I have switched back to 2d playing of it.
