I believe there are 4 games and the MLB demo? Are all of these games downloadable? What game is the best to get (take in account gameplay and 3d effects)?

Then I played Wipeout HD, and was much more impressed. Then I played Super Stardust HD and was even more impressed. Then I played Motorstorm, and my mind was blown by the fact that I could practically see a country mile "into" the TV screen while playing that game.

Yes, yes, I know the resolution is sub 720p on Motorstorm, but I still think it's the single most impressive 3D game on the PS3, simply because of the distance that you can see "into" the screen. You can literally see WAY down the track. It's hard to explain without playing it yourself.


As for MLB 10, yeah, the 3D effect is a bit more subtle in this game, and it isn't exactly jaw dropping. There is this one camera view however, that they show on replays that is pretty jaw dropping. It's when they show a side view of your batter fouling a pitch back into the stands. Looks absolutely amazing, and the baseball appears to be floating in space as it flies towards the stands. Unfortunately, that viewpoint is only available during replays.

MLB 10 doesn't suck in 3D, but it's certainly the least impressive of the ones I tried, imo.

Ghost recon future soldier - will be available on 360 and ps3
Tron evolution - looks like at this point 3d on ps3
mortal kombat - as well on ps3
de blob - on 360 not sure about ps3
crysis 2 - on 360 and ps3

Hope I helped here

To simplify, the signal is a normal frame as far as the PS3 is concerned. Just that every other pixel is coded by the game for a particular eye. The PS3 wouldn't know what it was showing, other than a full 1080P frame. The TV doesn't either. The TV separates the pixels in the checkerboard to present them to each eye, but only after one manually switches the 3D mode on in the Samsung and Mits 3D-Ready TVs.

One of the main reasons for the firmware upgrade is so the PS3 can decode the new HDMI 1.4(+) 3D formats, and communicate with the new TVs as to what to present to them. It's an automatic system.

We still maintain hope that after the firmware upgrades, the PS3 will also convert the HDMI 1.4 Blu-ray signal to checkerboard. That is, that Sony implements it.

As it can't communicate that with the DLPs, it will have to be a manual selection in the PS3 menu itself, along with the existing selection in the TV menu. Not to worry, because we will have Mitsubishi 3D adapter to fall back on, if Sony fails us.

Its somewhere in there. It will say 3D TV detected and enable the 3D mode.

3 of the 5 games work in 3D for their "full" versions. Wipeout HD, Super Stardust and Pain. 2 of the 5 games work in 3D for the demo versions of the game only (Motorstorm: Pacific Rift and MLB '10: The Show). I'm still wondering why I can play the full version of Motorstorm or MLB in 3D. The demo is cool and all, but both of those games are available now, so why can't I just play the full game in 3D?
