Don’t get too excited. You just can’t run out and buy one of these Sony Blu-ray players and expect to watch 3D content tonight. Oh no. Not only do the players require a firmware update that’s not expected to later this year to even playback 3D content, but the units do not include the 3D glasses or the IR emitter that’s compatible with this model. Plus, there aren’t any true 3D Blu-ray movies out yet. But at least you can buy a 3D player! That’s exciting! [via Format War Central]
