PlayStation 3 owners will be able to play 3D Blu-ray Discs thanks to a firmware update that will be released Sept. 21, Sony Computer Entertainment America said.

The 3.50 firmware update was announced at the Tokyo Game Show and follows the 3.30 update in April that allowed for stereoscopic 3D game play. Other features with the 3.50 firmware update will be announced Monday.

“We know that many consumers have purchased 3DTVs already, and more of you will be purchasing them as the holidays approach — so we’re excited to offer this firmware update that makes all 38 million PS3s worldwide compatible with Blu-ray 3D discs,” Eric Lempel, VP of North American operations, wrote on the company’s blog.
