A new Sony PlayStation Firmware update is on the way and this version contain an interested new feature for PS3. Once you’ve installed the firmware, Sony said that your PlayStation 3 will fully support any 3D game titles that will be released in the future! Oh this is exciting!

However, the 3D support is only available for games that available through the PSN, and you won’t be able to play your 3D Blu-ray movie at this time. You have to wait until Sony released their second firmware update before you can watch 3D blu-ray movie on your PS3.

The first firmware update with 3D Support will be released on June this year, and Sony is expected to release another firmware update later in this year which will cover the 3D functionality for Blu-ray movie.

This is a good news. With the Playstation Move coming soon, this year end Christmas holidays could be interesting!

Sony has a planning to going forward to the realization of their motion controller which was first introduced in E3 event. Their first step toward that technology to add facial recognition capabilities to their playstation’s Eye Webcam without the need to add more hardware in the future when their motion controller release.

Kish Hirani from Sony (head of developer services in Europe) said that the new facial recognition ability is capable of detecting facial movement such as you are smile or not, and it can also detect gender and even the age of the face. This is amazing and it sounds impossible at the moment. It even cooler than Microsoft’s Project Natal which has no such functionality.

But since the head has said so, I guess it’s something that we can wait for and it might be a surprise for us as a gamer because we can have more and more way to interact with our gaming console. 2010 is sure a year that I will excited for.
