Microsoft Announcing 3D Plans Soon?

Posted June 11, 2010 by M.H. Williams

It seems this year’s E3 should be called ‘E3D’. Sony and Nintendo are going to be pushing 3D gaming hard, albeit for different market segments. Microsoft was previously the odd man out, waiting tentatively to see where everything landed. Well it seems Microsoft has been working quietly behind the scenes on their own 3D implementation for the Xbox 360. Blitz Games Studios co-founder Andrew Oliver let the cat out of the bag.

"Microsoft are going to be making an announcement about [3D] at some point soon,” Oliver said at yesterday’s Westminister eForum event in London. He added that Sony’s push has been magnitudes greater than Microsoft, even though there have been 3D-compatible titles released already.

"There's lots of games coming on the PlayStation 3 very shortly in 3D. There's a big show on next week," said Oliver. "On the Xbox it [3D] has been rather quiet."

"Our game did come out in 3D on the Xbox 360, so 3D is possible, even through an HDMI 1.2 cable,” he added. “Ubisoft created Avatar, which includes a mode for 3D on a 3D TV. It is just a case of adding a mode into the options menu, so there's no need for two different products."

1040P?

Something must be wrong with your PS3....Because my PS3 outputs at 1080P.

Maybe you should just cave in and ask mommy for a crapbox?
