Sony has confirmed that its PlayStation 3 home console will get a firmware update, labeled 3.50, on September 21, with the major change being the introduction of all the software needed to deliver Blu-ray movies in full three dimensions.

Of course, to get the 3D experience players also need to own a 3D capable television set and will also need to find 3D coded Blu-ray versions of its favorite movies.

A lot of gamers have stated that the move to 3D is too expensive as it requires them to get a new television set that is not cheap, with the upgraded coming too soon after the introduction of High Definition.

There aren't a lot of titles that arrived in 3D, the most obvious exceptions being Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Monster House.

Considering the number of 3D enabled movies that arrived in cinemas during the past year PlayStation 3 users will probably soon have a wider library to choose from.

Sony has long been talking about introducing 3D movie playing and gaming to the PlayStation 3 but the company has only recently begun to code the ability into the console.

Gamers can try out titles like Wipeout HD, Super Stardust HD, PAIN and a demo of Motorstorm in three dimensions and upcoming titles like Gran Turismo 5 from Polyphony Software and Killzone 3 from Guerrilla Games will also support it when they are launched.

This month Sony is also introducing the PlayStation Move motion tracking system which allows players to control video games using a wand like controller and movements of their hands and body.

The mix between Move and 3D is hoped to make the PS3 more attractive to gamers, both to more causal players who are looking for experiences that are quick to learn and to hardcore players that are interested in the immersion of 3D.
