The PS3 is going to go get a 3D firmware update next summer which will allow you to use your PS3 with stereoscopic glasses. The update will come in conjunction with its 3D Bravia LCD glasses. It will also allow the PS3 to work with 3D compatible Blue Ray movies. Sony was originally going to release the update sometime this year but it seems that they needed until the summer to get everything ready.

Microsoft has decided to pull the plug on the Xbox Live service for original Xbox games. This includes the original games on the Xbox 360 and on the original Xbox. Lets say you downloaded an original Xbox game onto your 360. You will still have the ability to play the game but you can’t use the online features. This will really annoy some of the hardcore Halo 1 and 2 fans but Microsoft wants to move them over the 360. This will not affect any Xbox 360 titles.
