Last month, Sony
released the first 3-D games for its Playstation 3 console. Now, according to Joystiq, a firmware update to be released in September
will allow the PS3 to play 3-D Blu-ray movies. It should be stated, though, that for now the only 3-D Blu-ray title on the market is the kids' film 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,' and gamers probably won't be snatching those up. But, as more 3-D TVs become available (and James Cameron's 3-D extravaganza 'Avatar' gets released), it's only natural that the 3-D Blu-ray market will ramp up production.
The September PS3 firmware update also bring The ability to view 3-D videos on YouTube is also coming soon. Wrapping up the 3-D blowout, PS3 owners will be able to store and view their own 3-D photos and videos on the console, as well -- whenever that technology becomes accessible, whether we want it or not.

I'm confused. I'd read yesterday that a EU Sony rep stated that 3-D movie support was scheduled for September and 3-D picture support as well as YouTube 3-D videoclip was in the pipeline (No scheduled date but coming).

@jeff, ah Jeff, you're right. Looks like YouTube 3-d is coming eventually (and not officially part of the Sept. update).
