When we mentioned that 3D Blu-Ray will making its way to us we was very excited and wanted more information and could it be possible on the Playstation 3 via Firmware upgrade?

In an interview Manuel R. Gutierrez Novelo, CEO & President of TDVision Systems stated (the people behind the codec):

“We’re in the process to enable the PlayStation 3 to playback 3D movies using our TDVCodec and Blu-ray discs at our R&D labs since the PS3 is enabled with the BD2.0 version. Currently we have it working on a PC in 3D and after some changes on the firmware and installing some software for the PS3 we’ll be playing 3D directly form the PS3.”

This pretty much confirms it and basically tells us that they are working on bringing it to the Playstation 3 owners.

Novelo was asked two questions that make it clearer too:

“P3L : In order to playback 3D movies on the PS3, will it need a firmware change and a special software, or just a firmware change ?

Manuel R. : firmware change only

P3L : With the PS3, we’ll only be able to playback 3D Blu-Ray, or 3D DVDs ?

Manuel R. : Both, we have 3DBlu-ray and we have 3DDVD too with our same encoder.”

So it looks like PS3 will see 3D Blu-Ray.
