Unlike the PS4, the Xbox One won't support 3D Blu-ray playback at launch

Now that Microsoft has adopted Blu-ray for its upcoming Xbox One, some of you might have been wondering if this next-gen console will support 3D Blu-ray movies. Well, the answer is no, or at least not yet. Back in May, Director of Xbox Programming, Larry Hryb aka Major Nelson, vaguely confirmed 3D and 4K output on the Xbox One, but his company has recently told CNET that the machine will be shipped without 3D Blu-ray playback capability. Having said that, there's still a chance of adding this feature via an update later on.

On the other hand, Sony has just confirmed to us that the PS4 will definitely come with both 3D Blu-ray playback (requires the 1.50 firmware update and then a one-time activation) and 3D gameplay (albeit a current lack of 3D titles). And while there's no 4K output for games just yet, the Japanese giant is considering adding support for 4K still images and video to the console, as mentioned in its lengthy FAQ. Not that any of this is going to deter the hardcore gamers, anyway.

:ohhh: So much for strugglebox1 being an all-in-one entertainment device. It can't play 3D Blu-ray, MP3 & AAC/M4A audio files (natively) and DLNA streaming (when it finally gets patched in) is limited to the PlayTo app/program on Windows.

Bruh, it can do all that except 3D BD until a patch. The MP3 stuff is via USB
DLNA is already built into the XB1

You seem to have gotten all your info wrong on purpose tho. No need to explain, we know :ufury2:

3d gaming? That's just stupid. Just as stupid as no playing mp3's. I don't even understand the point of that

I'd take it now than waiting all the way until next year just so I can play some mp3's in the background. It's not really that serious. It's not like the hardware is rushed(well I can only speak for ONE console.)

Well that's why i'm bitter. I don't want to buy both. One is gonna have games I like more... And they just continuously drop the ball. Over the last 5 years a lot of the top movies were in 3d. This makes no sense.

It plays 3d games just not 3d bluray movies right away. That's as simple as a firmware update though.

Link? I haven't heard any word on 3d gaming. Plus it usually is going to shrink the resolution.
