Microsoft teases 3D capabilities coming soon to Xbox 360?

3D

Microsoft’s Israeli research and development team may have recently teased an upcoming Xbox 360 feature that is sure to interest a few gamers out there: 3D. Late last month, Microsoft’s R&D team posted a link from its official Twitter account pointing to a Hebrew-language Gadgety.co.il post about an interesting rumor. In a nutshell, the rumor suggests that Microsoft is currently prepping a software update for the Xbox 360 that will enable HD stereoscopic 3D. Included with Microsoft’s tweet was a question that translates to: “what do you think of a 3D console?” Now, companies don’t typically draw attention to baseless rumors, so we’re thinking someone at Microsoft got a little excited and might have slipped up, especially when considering the playful question posed alongside the link. The initial report suggested Microsoft’s 3D feature would be introduced at E3 2011, but that obviously didn’t happen, possibly because the software was not yet ready to be shown off. We have a feeling Xbox fans could be in store for a treat soon, however, and an announcement in the coming months definitely wouldn’t surprise us. A screenshot of Microsoft’s tweet can be seen after the break in.

    There sure seems to be a lot of supply for 3D gadgets but is there really a demand for it?

    Who are you all 3D fetishists and why are you trying to make me buy yet another HDTV?

    Some of the games already support 3d like call of duty black ops n crysis n NBA 2k11

  • Peter Goesinya

    Sony will probably follow suit, so they can get hacked in 3d.

      Sony has had 3D game for a while SOCOM4, KillZone3 and some others are all in 3D as of current.

    I thought the Xbox didn’t have the horsepower for high-quality 3D?

  • Chris Gill

    I thought the 360 could all ready play 3D games…I know Black Ops was one that could be played in 3D on the PS3 and the 360.
