Xbox finally joins PS3 with new 3D update

4.4
The latest Xbox 360 update which will be available via the latest batch of games and most likely via Xbox Live in the coming days finally places the Xbox 360 on an even keel with the PS3.

The new update allows users to enabled 3D for use with 3D TV sets. The text reads "Enable 3D to use stereoscopic 3D in games and experiences that support it. The option also has a setting which will detect TV size and also allow users to input the size manually.

The PS3 has had these options for quite some time via one of its updates but is good news that the Xbox 360 finally recognizes 3D games; especially in light of the announcement of 3D support for Gears of War 3, Batman Arkham City and Halo CE: Anniversary. What's interesting is the use of the words "games and experiences", could this mean Xbox 360 will be getting 3D movies from SKY and Netflicks in the near future?

If the xbox can get 3D movies from Netflix that would be awesome but that would be the worst quality ever most likely since the size of the moivie is giant

the depth of 3d games & movies suck right now who cares about 3d when it visually sucks.

I have my PS3 hooked up to a 60 inch 3D TV. 3D is overrated and pointless. I play my games on a 23 inch gaming monitor.

3D Tv's are a waste of money right now, they dont work very well. Im definetly waiting till they are better at creating the 3D effect...

Ive had this option for a while?
I play blackops 3d all the time and yes this option has been in my xbox menu (not blackops) for a good while now but to use the 3d you must have an hdmi cable which i have :)

i dont understand what this is going to do as games which have 3d built into them such as Black Ops and Crisis 2 both work in 3d already so what is the point in this???? anyone know?
