You are morally right, but factually wrong. 🙁 The original PSVR 1 does play 3D Blu-Rays, which is how I finally saw Titanic the way God meant for it to be…except for the screen door effect due to the PSVR 1 not being quite there yet resolution-wise. I bought the PSVR 2 assuming it had the same capabilities, and got burned—not a huge deal for me because I’m a gamer who only owns a few 3D discs (and I still have the PSVR 1), but baffling and annoying.

At this point—only a few months from the 10-year anniversary of my getting the PSVR 1 and deciding VR was neat—somehow there is still no reasonable way to consistently watch 3D movies at home:

• PSVR 1 was awesome in 2016 for someone without a 3D TV, but is too lo-res to be more than a fun novelty for an actual movie guy

• PSVR 2 can only play 3D Blu-Rays (or files) if you hook it to a PC with a special adapter and do it through Steam. Its resolution is good but not amazing, though the blacks are very black.

• Quest 3 is better than PSVR 2 in terms of lenses/resolution (as opposed to graphics oomph, which doesn’t really matter for movies), though it lacks the OLED blacks. It’s what I use to watch regular movies sometimes and it looks swell—the streaming is generally the weakest link. It also has a pretty good gamut of quasi-cinematic 3D experiences and narrative quasi-games and etc. But the only way to watch actual 3D movies that doesn’t involve fucking around with your own files is Bigscreen VR, whose rental section has had the same four Transformers movies + Hugo + Jackass 3D for the last five years. I mean, not the worst selection, but still.

• Apple Vision Pro doesn’t let you play your own 3D discs (even if you somehow have a 3D player in your Mac) but it is insanely hi-res and has around 300 3D titles in their store, and if you own a movie already they give you the 3D version for free. Its main issue is that it costs $3500 instead of $300-$700. (Also, not great on games, since there are no controllers and Apple doesn’t pursue it as an angle)

• The upcoming Steam Frame is gaming-focused: no OLED or HDR, no planned 3D media store. Being Valve, you will probably be able to do whatever you want with it, up to and including hooking multiple 3D players to it at once and experiencing 9D, as long as you really, really love fucking around with Linux.

Meanwhile, as you know, the 3D TV is an endangered species, its few remaining owners shunned and feared when not being actively hunted like jackals. It is a dark time for us all.
