Microsoft to announce 3D plans at E3?

A few industry players have theorized that 3D may take center stage from motion gaming at this year's E3, but so far, only Sony and Nintendo have been vocal in the playing field. That, however, is about to change.

Up until now, Microsoft hasn't been big on 3D talks. Sony has just started their first steps with the 3D patches for their PSN releases, while Nintendo has the 3DS.

According to Blitz Games Studios co-founder Andrew Oliver, Microsoft, too, is readying for the 3D battleground. "3D does take a bit of extra work," said Oliver at the Westminster eForum in London earlier. "Microsoft are going to be making an announcement about it at some point soon."

It's not pretty far-fetched for Microsoft to join the 3D race in this year's E3, and with purchase intent for motion gaming not doing so hot, E3 2010 might indeed have 3D on the spotlight.

So sad Micro$oft. How are you as company going to pull that out your a$$ because your graphs card are run at ful potential and that even some dev said that this gen system can't pull off full 3d(Sony only going to be putting out 720p in full 3d not 1080p and 30fps). I wondering how much are you going to charge for this and how much will be the m$ 3d glass $80( Sony is charging $35 or $40 for theirs) because we know you over price your products.

Sony overprices their products too...everyone knows that.
So I'm assuming M$'s are gonna be just as expensive as Sony's, I'm also assuming 35-$40 is too much...

Not as bad as M$, come on man $ 49.99 for the controller and $19.99 for the rechargeable batteries + recharge cable = $69.98 before tax, however Sony's controller $54.99 before tax. Sony isn't over pricing their products like M$ and the are giving you the 3d update of free. I have a feeling M$ will make you pay for it extra or be a live gold member. Samsung is charging $150 dallors per set of 3d glasses, now who is over pricing. It does't ever matter because not everyone has $4,000 dollars to shell out for a 3d HDTV and if you do more power to you.

Sony doesnt overprice everything... The PSP Go was overpriced. Some of their accessories are overpriced. everything else is just fine.

Everything from Sony is just as bad as everything from M$.

Don't make me get Ice-T to smack some sense into you Souljaboy56 lol.

LMFAO!.. niceee call on that Souljah Boy Ice-T thing.. Ahh the funny comments Ice-T had to say to souljah..

Anyway, if you think Sony is overpriced, why is the PS3 selling at a loss, currently maybe not, but for 3 years it did. Explain that XBOX fanboys..

well considering sonys video chip partner sells their stereoscopic kit for $200 i could see it not being any good if they cheap out

+1 # Too bad they use HDMI 1.2 — phiyuku 2010-06-11 12:55

which means that the Xbox 360 would be fragmented between the new Xbox's with HDMI 1.4 or HDMI 1.3 most likely going to use HDMI 1.4 since what the hey it's out anyway. And the old Xbox 360 with HDMI 1.2.

HDMI 1.3 works with 3D and apparently according to spec sheet can do everything HDMI 1.4 can do except ethernet channel. HDMI 1.2 not so much.

Either that or a post processor to sell as an add-on might work.

# Post processing — chessboxer 2010-06-12 00:24

won't help. It's all about bandwidth, and the bandwidth available in HDMI 1.2 is less than half of that for HDMI 1.3 & 1.4.

I guess the 360 could do 3D over HDMI 1.2, but the games would need to have a very low native resolution (probably lower than Alan Wake's 960x540). I can't see MS adding a newer HDMI version to the 360 now. They missed the boat and I don't see them selling another 40M units by the time this generation ends.
