Support NeoGAF

[GSG Flash]

First thing I'll try out when I get a PS4(it better support it *shakes fist*)

I wanna move my PS3 to another room.

It comes with a 4K HDMI cable...

So it comes with an HDMI cable then.

 

[JMizzlin]

That's pretty lame. I recently got a 3D TV and was thinking about the One for media now that Blu Ray is onboard. Might as well buy a cheap PS3.

 

[SatansReverence]

Can't say it bothers me that much.

3D movies really aren't that great IMO. Good for the first few moments where it looks like the TV has depth but the moment you try to look at something the camera isn't focusing on it really starts to strain the eyes and brain.

 

[Neuromancer]

Why would you build an "all in one media center for your living room" and not include 3D blu-ray playback?

Probably cheaping out on the licensing or something.

Crazy, it's totally crazy. The PS3 has been able to play 3D Blurays for 3 years now.

 

[soul creator]

there literally is a banderas.gif for every situation.

I still need to watch Assassins to see if the actual movie is any good, lol

 

[Vestal]

Hmm guessing it might have to do with the xone menus and snap. They may have not had enough time to implement this.

Wasn't 3d on its way to obscurity once again??

 

[MrDaravon]

Oh wow, I know someone who this will actually big a big deal for. Seems like a weird issue though, I didn't even know there was a difference.

 

[KaYotiX]

And nobody cared........

 

[Jomjom]

I play more 3d blurays than CDs or mp3s on my console so this actually affects me more.

Just watched star trek into darkness 3d the other day.

It's definitely not become THE NEXT BIG THING but tons of TVs coming out today support 3D and there are at least a handful of excellent 3D movies a year. Gravity was the balls in 3D, I'll be buying it when it comes out.

 

[Bad_Boy]

And nobody cared........

speak for yourself.

I own a 3d setup and 3d movies/games.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Man, this sucks. Luckily I'll have the PS4 for this. PS4 better play 3D movies dammit.

 

[dark_prinny]

And I don't care.

Yeah.

 

[New002]

Well that stinks

 

[ZROCOOL]

Haha

 

[Zafir]

That's pretty sucky. I thought they were going for the all in one media centre idea? Not much of an all in one if it's missing media features...

 

[Tsundere]

Man, this sucks. Luckily I'll have the PS4 for this. PS4 better play 3D movies dammit.

Xbox One doesn't support 3D Blu-Rays, period. No games or movies.

PS4 supports 3D gaming, which would pretty much confirm the Blu-Ray movies will work (same technology/license) once you patch Blu-Ray playback.

 

[Apath]

Wait--is the quote in the OP saying the PS4 doesnt support 3D movies either? I really hope not..

 

[DangerMouse]

OMG, nicely done lol.

 

[DarkoMaledictus]

Oh no, what ever will I do?

Easy.. cancel

 

[Respawn]

PS3 got an update for this, x1 will too

You do know what year we're in right? You apologist are something else.
Plus this news is old.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

So it comes with an HDMI cable then.

Naw man. This one is super-special. Ask the Major. He never overhypes anything.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Oh my God, haha. But it should've been in reverse to really be a reaction gif for this news.

 

[DarkoMaledictus]

Major Nelson also said in the yahoo chat from May that XB1 was able to play 4k and 3D. It'll come.

Isn't that dude just a pr tool anyway?

 

[commasplice]

Dat CNET subheadline: "CNET has confirmed that for better or worse the Xbox One won't play 3D Blu-ray movies at launch."

How could that possibly be "for better"? Even if you're not a 3D movie-watcher.

 

[Metfanant]

Really interested to hear the reasoning for this....for either console...

Haha!...yeah...can't even imagine how it could be a bad thing to include the format lol

 

[DangerMouse]

I don't think we know for sure, but PS4 already supports 3D games, both AC4 apparently and Trine 2's PS4 version (from the Trine 2 PS4 thread) have 3D support, so since the way it's done is the same it's probably already supported on 3D Blu-ray movies too.

Edit: Actually according to this PS4 will support 3D Blu-ray movies at launch too, after the update:
http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/09/xbox-one-ps4-3d-blu-ray-playback/

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).

 

[Starviper]

Very fitting, hahaha

 

[Waaghals]

Just when I though that Banderas-gif was wearing out its welcome, a new one comes along and makes me laugh.

Woot thank you.

 

[Rourkey]

gutted! now I have to rethink my whole media centre to keep my blu ray player in!

Hopefully this is just a problem with the UI overlaying it, maybe they need a 3D UI because they'll assume people will leave their glasses on?

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

So good.

 

[Xamdou]

So the "All In One" machine can't even play 3D Blu-ray movies, disappointing.

 

[NullPointer]

Will it play my HD-DVDs?

 

[funkystudent]

Will it play my HD-DVDs?

Strangely Microsoft has not talked mentioned a single thing about comparability with the 360 HD DVD drive.

Spoiler

I am not even sure that thing even works with the 360 anymore. I think it was removed a few years ago?

 

[bidguy]

3d in movies is shit anyways
invented to charge extra money in cinemas

go watch world war z in 3d
the feel of getting ripped off

 

[3rdamention]

"All in One Dimension"

 

[fluffydelusions]

niceeeee

 

[Majmun]

Who cares anyway? 3D is subjective

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

Welp...I guess this settles it.

I was on the fence as to which console I was going to get at launch, but since I have a 3DTV and an extensive 3D Blu Ray collection, I'll be going with the PS4 at launch.

 

[Cipherr]

This does not seem important to me at all. Non news, but I guess for the few people who it matters to, a PSA isn't all that bad.

 

[Metfanant]

Next question...will it pass through 3D content from a cable box using its HDMI IN??...there isn't a ton of it out there...but it's out there...

 

[Clefargle]

Wow, perfection

 

[Revolutionary]

Not disputing the fact that they stick it to people with cinema prices, but at home with a good 3DTV? You get the BD for the same price, and it looks fucking glorious on movies that were filmed in 3D (pretty sure WWZ's 3D was done in post production). Prometheus and Avatar are visually stunning in 3D, for instance.

 

[Prompto]

This is the hardest I've laughed at a banderas gif yet.

See you on live for titanfall? Can't say this effects me whatsoever I don't have a 3D setup and I hate 3D but would have been a nice option

 

[Pie and Beans]

Pretending the concept of numerical lineage doesn't apply, Xbone nickname, not actually "all in one"...

Really should have kicked some sense into that marketing roundtable than be hypnotised by their bullshit, huh, MS?
