Not that I currently care but good to know in case I do care...
Blu-ray 3D Disc Playback Support Coming to PlayStation 3 System Next Week
Hi everyone, I wanted to share some news out of Tokyo Game Show. We’ve announced that the PS3 system will be able to play back 3D content on Blu-ray 3D discs with the next system software update (v.3.50), slated for release on September 21. We know that many consumers have purchased 3D TVs already and more of you will be purchasing them as the holidays approach – so we’re excited to offer this firmware update that makes all 38 million PS3s worldwide compatible with Blu-ray 3D discs.
This new feature expands the PS3’s 3D capabilities – as you may recall, we added the ability to play stereoscopic 3D games with the 3.30 firmware update in April.
While support for Blu-ray 3D discs is the primary new feature within the 3.50 update, there will be a few additional features. We’ll post more details on the blog prior to the firmware’s release, so check back here on Monday.

While I might not actually use this for now, the ability for the PS3 to be upgraded was one of the huge selling points of the system.

The update is out now. But seeing as you still need a special TV and funky glasses to see it, I give it a resounding MEH! Call me when they invent the holodeck.

If the reviews for GT5 say the 3D is cool (and if Subaru NA doesn't bring a Forrester STi to the US) I'll be VERY tempted to upgrade my TV.
Yes, I'm a gadget junkie. DON'T JUDGE ME.
