Andy Parsons from the BDA told me that the BD spec only includes 1080p 24 3D, if you want to go 60, you have to switch to 720p.]]>Feb 17th 2010 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/sonys-blu-ray-players-do-3d-in-1080p-even-with-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/sonys-blu-ray-players-do-3d-in-1080p-even-with-hdmi-1-3/
Great citation! Just not enough info about 3D out there right now!

I think you may have a typo, though. "BDA told me that the **BD** spec..." Do you mean **HDM**I spec? Or does BD itself only support 720p/30/60?

The Sony 3D Demo I saw had obvious 30hz content, and it came from a PS3, so this would explain how they accomplished it.

This does, however, make me feel better about m PS3 Slim's lone HDMI 1.3 port. If a player like this--with a so-called "3D-lite" experience--can give as much as the PS3 can for a hundred bucks cheaper, i'm on board.]]>Feb 17th 2010 2:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/sonys-blu-ray-players-do-3d-in-1080p-even-with-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/sonys-blu-ray-players-do-3d-in-1080p-even-with-hdmi-1-3/
"The players and theater systems support the HDMI 1.4 spec for 3D playback, but may not support all of the qualifications of spec (which is why we haven't labeled it specifically 1.4 at this time"
So there may be some things that the player won't support if they can't get it all in there? As I don't know what all entails the 1.4 spec, it may not matter or there may be some limitations down the road. I guess that's what you risk being an early adopter.

"Our only quibble is why DivX playback is limited to the Canadian editions of these players"
Yep. You gotta wonder why this sort of thing comes up. Probably some licensing thing. I wonder if some people will order from Canada to get the extra functionality.

I've got my pre-order placed and anxious to get my hands on this player and see what it can do!
