The good news is that you won’t need a Sony 3D Bravia to enjoy it. Any 3D TV will work,. Engadget has been playing with it at IFA and they say the experience is great. [Engadget]

Monday, September 7, 2009 at 9:54 AMI thought the bandwidth limitation for hdmi 1.3 and below was 1080p at 60hz. the hdmi spec seems to be a hardware thing, as sony was unable to add BD bitstreaming in software for older non slim ps3, so I’m not quite sure how they are going to overcome this bandwidth limitation?
on the other hand, I’d say very few games actually run at 60, probably more like 30 anyway, also most games are 720p
In any case, knowing I don’t have to replace my $500 console to get this is little consolation when I have to replace my several thousand dollar tv…
Still, good work Sony for once again leading the way in tech… even if it doesn’t work out, atleast your trying something, unlike these sheep that say they will just “wait and see”

Monday, September 7, 2009 at 12:32 PMThe HDMI 1.3a spec allows for up to 120Hz, with sufficient bandwidth for full 1080p at that frame rate. This is double earlier versions, on both counts.
Whether the PS3′s HDMI chip (new or old) can do it remains to be seen. Very few games would have simple enough graphics to manage 1080p @ 120Hz, so 720p is a lot more likely anyway.
