Sony has launched the next step in gaming with the introduction of 3D technology to its consoles.
Sony's PlayStation 3 is the first gaming console to be available in 3D
All new PlayStation 3 machines will now be 3D ready, while people who already own the gaming system can download a free upgrade.
Sony CEO Andrew House said the new consoles would ensure gamers received "an ever more compelling, realistic and immersive experience".
He described the new system as "a very exciting proposition for the future of home entertainment".
Yet, a 3D compatible television and glasses are needed to experience the full impact of this breakthrough.
Rival firm Nintendo is also tipped to unveil a 3D version of its DS handheld console that will not need any 3D specs.
There are four games available for the new Sony PlayStation - Wipeout HD, Super Stardust HD, Pain and a demo version of MotorStorm Pacific Drift.
Sony has already released a 3D digital camera and aims to launch a 3D laptop computer.
