If you say so. But, you can go buy 3D dvd's that utilize the newer 3D tv's shutter glasses. While they would be slightly less visually than their bluray counterparts, that has more to do with bluray vs dvd than any player. For PS360, its the same. The only reason PS3 was touted as 3D was because its bluray and it was capable of patching the hdmi connection without replacing hardware. It has nothing to do with the cpu or gpu's in the actual machines.


Thats where your point should end. The patch that Sony released doesn't give it any 3d ability or drivers. Its just a patch which tells the TV which 3D format the game is using... Developers still need to make the 3D driver for the game themselves.

360 can do the exact same as developers can tell the TV which 3D the game is using...as seen by Avatar which supports all 3D formats available at the time on both consoles.

Are you sure on that? From what I read the hdmi upgrade was for a distinct 3D data channel. From what I've read, most devices cannot be upgraded as most would require actual chip differences in their hdmi connection, whereas PS3 already had the better connection, thus it could be patched via software.
