We knew you were dying to grasp what Sony was planning with those stereoscopic multiplayer display patents last year, so we took a glance at Sony’s new PlayStation-branded 3D display , only for you. True to its schtick, the stereoscopic display simultaneously displays two separate full screen images, hidden behind the smoke and mirrors of active shutter 3D technology — while suffering just a minimal amount of ghosting. The twin-full-screen trick will only work with PlayStation 3 games specifically programmed to utilize the feature, and although none was announced yet, we wouldn’t be surprised if pack-in title Resistance 3 is compatible. Staff couldn’t say if the games featured within the demo video, Motorstorm Apocalypse and Wipeout, could be updated to support this option. While the demo units we saw performed their trick reasonably well, visible ghosting and flat, muted colors give us some reservations about that competitive $499 price ticket.
