Enter the third dimension with stereoscopic 3D on PlayStation 3 this Christmas.

Stereoscopic 3D continues to go from strength to strength in 2011 with more and more movies and video games adopting the eye-popping formula that has changed the way we watch High Definition films on Blu-ray Disc and how we experience PlayStation 3 games.

Accessing this brilliant entertainment on PS3 is simple. First, make sure you have a compatible TV, such as a BRAVIA 3D TV, and 3D compatible glasses or, if you’re feeling fancy, Sony’s HMZ-T1 Personal 3D Viewer. Then read on to find out about some of the best Blu-ray 3D discs and games available to buy this Christmas from your nearest store.

Stereoscopic 3D games on PlayStation 3

If you’re looking out for the most mind-blowing stereoscopic 3D gaming there is on PlayStation 3, then check out Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception from developer, Naughty Dog. Packing in award-winning storytelling, blockbuster action and competitive and co-op multiplayer, Nathan Drake’s latest adventure is a must. Mix in stereoscopic 3D and you’ve got yourself one of the most immersive and thrilling game on PlayStation 3 in 2011.

Looking for a first person shooter that not only tests your mettle, but transforms your living room into a living, breathing war zone through the power of stereoscopic 3D? Then grab yourself a copy of the epic sci-fi action title, Killzone 3. Dropping you right into the heart of the battle, you’ll have to dodge bullets as the combat rages all around you on the treacherous planet Helghan.

Racing fans, rev your engines for the Real Driving Simulator, Gran Turismo 5, which comes rammed with over 1,000 stunning cars, more than 20 locations, over 70 track variations and stereoscopic 3D. That means car aficionados can ogle at some of the world’s greatest supercars from the likes of Ferrari and Bugatti in a whole new way.

Whipping up a storm in 2011 and hailed as the greatest superhero gaming adventure of all time, Batman: Arkham City allows you to slip into the batsuit and take on Gotham’s notorious villains inside the walls of the gargantuan Arkham City maximum security prison. Packed with a batcave full of gadgets and – best of all – stereoscopic 3D, Batman: Arkham City is the most fun you’ll have this Christmas in a pair of tights.

Blu-ray 3D discs on PlayStation 3

Battling with the family for a piece of the action on that BRAVIA 3D TV? Then be sure to grab a handful of some of the best Blu-ray 3D discs around this Christmas to avoid all-out war in the living room, including the complete Toy Story 3D collection. Each one is available separately and packed with Oscar-winning animation, witty scripts and some of the most memorable characters in film history. Oh, and did we mention that they’re all in stereoscopic 3D?

One of the most successful film series of all time came to an end in 2011 with the arrival of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, and now you can own it on Blu-ray 3D disc or download it from the Video Store of PlayStation Store this Christmas. Filled with tons of extra features and behind the scenes snippets, this final chapter in the epic series sees the battle between the good and evil forces of the wizard world escalate into an all-out war.

It’s hammer time and that can only mean one thing: no, not an MC Hammer revival, but Thor on Blu-ray 3D disc. The first of two mighty Marvel comic book movies to explode onto screens in 2011, Thor sees the arrogant warrior, played by Chris Hemsworth, banished to Earth from his home world of Asgard, where he must fight to reclaim his lost powers and learn what it takes to become a true hero. If you’re looking for more superhero action this Christmas then make sure you also pick up a copy of Captain America: The First Avenger on Blu-ray 3D disc to add to your collection.

Fancy something a little darker and perfect for the grown-ups at home? Then get ready for one hell of a ride in Drive Angry 3D. Nicolas Cage stars as Milton, a hardened criminal who has broken out of hell for one last chance at redemption. Intent on punishing a vicious cult who murdered his daughter and kidnapped his granddaughter, he has three days to stop them before they sacrifice her child under a full moon to raise the devil himself.
