Movie studios are close to an agreement on the final format for 3-D Blu-ray, according to Yoshinami Takahashi, deputy senior general manager of Sony Corporation's home entertainment group. According to Takahashi, the specification will probably be adopted before the end of 2009, and discs and players with 3-D will then launch in late 2010.

Users will need a player and display compatible with the new standard, as well as 3-D glasses.

As to available content, there will be a prevalence of shorter material such as animation shorts and documentaries, because many viewers suffer from headaches and nausea watching full-length movies in 3-D.

I can see it now. I invest $1000 for this new system and then a year later they come out with another one that works twice as good. Sounds cool but I'll be waiting a long while before picking this up.

hopefully having a PS3 will mean a firmware update only to support!

Doesn't this sound like you need a new TV?

Word, although I got both Coraline & MBV on BD & I've watched 'em in 3D & aside from the obvious color alteration from the glasses the 3D looked just fine on my TV, so hopefully most TVs already have what the "standard" will be.
