I went ahead and got the PS3 for future blu-ray 3D and 3D gaming as opposed to the Samsung 3D blu-ray player even though that would have netted me the glasses/movie deal as I bought the ln46c750 at the same time. It's just too versatile especially since I have no other next gen gaming systems. Really there are less than 5 3D blu-ray movies right now, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Monsters vs. Aliens, Coraline? (not sure) are there even any others than that? My opinion is the versatility is worth the delay.

not alot of content on Blu-Ray 3d yet any way. Firmware for PS3 3d for Blu-Ray is scheduled to release in september...so soon...In the mean time you can play games in 3d. There are demos on the PSN. Patience

3d blu ray is supposed to show up sometime around the end of 2010. its disappointing because i just bought this TV expecting to buy a ps3 so i could watch 3d blu ray, but i'm second guessing buying the ps3 just so i can watch 3d movies since spending 650 on a playstation for the console and blu ray player seems like a huge waste of money.

Nope. You have to buy them online. Look on ebay. I had to buy about three of them. Each was about $5. Just has to be high speed 1.4 hdmi, gold plated, ethernet capable, and 3d capable in the description. I had to buy one to go from the samsung 3d blu-ray player to my audio receiver (3d capable), one from the receiver to the tv, and one for my ps3. I know the ps3 is capable to play 3d, but this player was included for free as well as the samsung starter kit (glasses and monsters vs aliens) with my 3d samsung 46c8000. You only really need one cable, but I wanted high definition sound as well as my audio receiver switching the video and audio for all my equipment.

After looking at the sears 3d accessory bundle (normally $399, just making sure I was looking at the right thing) it looks like the only thing included in there are the transmitter, 2 pairs of glasses, and a DVD. So yes, you will need a 3D player of some sort. On the bright side though your PS3 will work. YOu just have to update the firmware if you haven't in a while.

So by simply having the projector hooked up to a ps3 i won't be able to do 3d movies and games? Well.. with DLP link glasses?

R. Viegas...Any upconverting DVD will do just fine just make sure it has an HDMI cable (does not need to be in the box because you can buy the for a couple of bucks on monoprice)But The PS3 in my opinion is a great upconverting DVD player that also allows for internet browsing DIVX playback and Will never go out of date if you have a Wireless connection and do firmware updates. Oh and if someone wants to play games it does that too. If you wanna PS3 they have bundles that include a Remote and free blu-ray rentals at blockbuster Sorry for the rant but IMHO the real cool HD is Blu-ray R.

If you're looking to watch 3D Blu-rays on your Samsung 3D-ready DLP, right now you are limited to purchasing a Panasonic 3D Blu-ray player that supports output in the "checkerboard" format (e.g. models bdt100, bdt300, bdt350 etc.) that's all you need besides your glasses and emitter setup. if you want to use other players, watch cable/dish 3D, or play 3D games (i.e. PS3) you will need a "checkerboard" adapter from Mitsubishi and you have to hack the EDID of your TV. do a Google search on that and you'll find what you need to get started.

Freddie 4 Wheeler, thanks for a real answer to my real question. I am impressed. I would be willing to live with clunky, but up until your response I was left with the impression there was no upgrade path with blu ray. When I asked elsewhere all got war "buy a ps3".Thanks,Jim

you do need a 3D blu ray player in order to play in 3D. As far as the other question I use Windows OS.

You can see and browse, but so far I always get corrupt video errors when trying to stream anything. Works fine on my PS3, but would still like to see it work on the BluRay downstairs too!

The Sony 3D bundle comes with an HDMI 1.4 cable which is needed for 3D signal. Once you connect this TV to your PS3 and play a 3D movie it will recognize the 3D signal and will prompt you for a firmware update. If not you go to the PS3's settings and choose automatic update from there. Of course, your PS3 must be connected to the internet to do this whether wired or wirelessly.

Any update on this? I'm looking to buy this unit too but want to be able to watch 3D movies on it.

Blu-Ray and 3D are a set standards that all manufacturers follow so any brand is compatible. The Sony Playstation 3 is a very nice option when it comes to both Blu-ray and 3D playback. You get a quality player plus you have the option of using it as a gaming system and media device.

Does the 3D work with PS3? From what I have read you can only output 3D with a PC currently and not with PS3. Would be great to have someone verify whether you need the 3D-XL for this model.

Sorry to reply so late... but yes I own this and it's definately one of the best Blu-ray standalone players out today. I updated it to the latest 1.6 Firmware and it works flawlessly and reliable. Also, I have noticed that this player upconverts regular DVDs better than my PS3... I would recommend this player if you were in the market for a Blu-ray stand alone player today.

I just downloaded the latest firmware update from the samsung website to a flash drive and went through the steps to update the BD player. Now, I'm having the same problems that everyone is reporting - it won't play a Blueray disc. It get's stuck in the "load" mode. It will, however, play a DVD without a problem. So, like many others before me, I will be taking it back to the store. Samsung wanted me to send it to them, but I don't think I'm going down that nightmare road.

yes, bd-rom does play blu-ray. i had 2 bought at different times so not sure if this one had the software for the codac to playblu-ray. its setup to do that but u might need to buy the cyberlink powerdvd 13 which gives u the proper info to make your player do the blu-ray properly. I found out that i needed it for one of the bd-rom players! one had the software enclosed, one didnt.This is good drive, All BD-roms blu-ray ready. I have no trouble with drive now and bought the newer cyberlink-pwrdvd13 when found out the 12 did not allow my blu-ray to work decoding the info on blu-ray discs.

You should be able to play regular blue ray or dvd's, but a 3d tv is required if you want to play 3d dvd's. (Though you may be able to use the 3d dvd's, but it will not be able to play in 3d mode.)
