Blu-ray 3D Support to Arrive with PS4 Firmware 1.75 Next Week?

PS4 Firmware 1.75 to Bring Blu-ray 3D SupportOne of the most baffling omissions from the PlayStation 4 has been the ability to support Blu-ray 3D playback. A functionality that the PS3 gained many years ago, and one that even most sub $100 Blu-ray players support has till now been a cause of hesitation for home theater buffs who have an extensive collection of Blu-ray 3D films. If they move onto the PS4, it means playback will no longer be possible so either would-be upgrade have to keep both PS3 and PS4 or hold off till Sony brought the functionality to the PS4. To make matters worse, Microsoft recently announced Blu-ray 3D support would be coming to the Xbox One, making Sony’s own console lacking in the media playback depart despite Sony being one of the biggest champions of Blu-ray and 3D.

Luckily, it seems like the PS4 Blu-ray 3D crises might end as early as next week thanks to PS4 firmware 1.75.

According to the official PlayStation Twitter account, PS4 firmware 1.75 will arrive next week and bring with it Blu-ray 3D support.

If the timeframe holds true, it means that PS4 owners will get Blu-ray 3D support prior to the Xbox One, ensuring that all will be right in the world. Now if we could get more media features back like DLNA support, MP3 playback, and Bluetooth accessory support.
