They already have software modifications running in Wipeout HD among other games to get the Playstation 3 producing full 3D cinema effects.

Engadget were able to get a video of the new technology running, and obviously while the effect needs to be seen by the eye to get the full effect, you can certainly see the blurring on Wipeout HD's graphics that's making the 3D effect possible.

The article from Engadget claims that Sony will release a patch in 2010 that will work with all existing Playstation 3 software to make games playable in 3D. You'll need 3D glasses and a new TV to get it working, but it would be amazing if Sony could implement the technology so early.

It'd certainly secure the Playstation 3 at the forefront of cutting edge.
