Forums - Gaming - EDT: Both PS4 and XBONE don't support 3D blurays at launch

Now that Microsoft has adopted Blu-ray for its upcoming Xbox One, some of you might have been wondering if this next-gen console will support 3D Blu-ray movies. Well, the answer is no, or at least not yet. Back in May, Director of Xbox Programming, Larry Hryb aka Major Nelson, vaguely confirmed 3D and 4K output on the Xbox One, but his company has recently told CNET that the machine will be shipped without 3D Blu-ray playback capability. Having said that, there's still a chance of adding this feature via an update later on.

On the other hand, Sony has just confirmed to us that the PS4 will definitely come with both 3D Blu-ray playback (requires the 1.50 firmware update and then a one-time activation) and 3D gameplay (albeit a current lack of 3D titles). And while there's no 4K output for games just yet, the Japanese giant is considering adding support for 4K still images and video to the console, as mentioned in its lengthy FAQ. Not that any of this is going to deter the hardcore gamers, anyway.

Nice additional feature to have, but not necessary. Point for the PS4 though lol.



I don't get it. Isn't a 3D Blu Ray just a video played side by side (or top and bottom or Sensio whatever) and your 3D TV does the rest? My TV can make a 3D image out of 3D youtube videos, 360/PS3 games, downloaded videos from the internet via portable HDD, 3D Blu Rays, 3DNet (TV Channel), or whatever. Even the PS3 has 3D Blu Ray support and I've watched 3D video via Xbox Live's youtube Channel. What's going on here?

And, as I said earlier today--the Xbox One does EVERYTHING wrong. Every time I think they've found everything wrong with it, somebody finds something else to complain about. I'm just going to say "Poor Xbox One" from now on. Nothing negative surprises me anymore.

Not for movies, but definitely for games.



I have a 3D TV since most good TVs nowadays support 3D, but I almost never use it. It's pretty good to have the option though.

3D blurays need specefic software to be played. PS3 recieved an update adding 3D playback.

Thanks. It needs to reach 10 pages though or else it's just a silver.
