I read the article you posted but didnt learn what I wanted, maybe youre able to explain. I wanted to know exactly why (technologically speaking) it would not accept the signal without the upconverter box for blu ray movie while it can for games. Care to explain me?

Its not an up convereter box...if anything it should be called the downconverter box...lol. That mitsubishi box will take a 1080p @ 120 hz and will convert it to 2 720p signals in a checkerboard pattern. Hence making it work on all 3D capable DLP TVs using checkerboard.

The reason why PS3 most likely won't support checkerboard for 3D blurays is because it will have to adhere to the 3D bluray spec which states that 3D blurays must provide a full 1080p resolution per eye...something checkerboard doesn't do.

For gaming however, the 3D community feels that since checkerbaord drivers are so easy to implement (Texas instruments are literally giving that tech away at this point) PS3 will most likely have defult support for it. Most games can even run at 1080p and have the driver downscale them to the checkerbaord pattern so no modification needs to be made there...

This mistery PS3 3D driver is key to everything. We will know in June what is what...

 

Great, thanks for the information, thats exactly what I wanted to understand. If theres no other thread until then, lets talk about it together once it release. Like I told a few months ago, if it doesnt deliver, I might purchase a gaming PC to use in the living room, so I might need your help :).

Yeah man, sounds good. I'm looking forward to seeing how this all falls in to place in June and then discussing it on forums :)
