With the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launch dates barreling ever closer, we're still getting flooded with information about what each console can and (perhaps more importantly) can't do. Microsoft recently said that the Xbox One will be a giant brick until it receives a mandatory Day One update when it debuts next Friday, November 22, and even that crucial patch won't give the console the ability to play 3D Blu-ray movies—at least for now.
Microsoft recently confirmed to CNET that the Xbox One won't ship with 3D Blu-ray movie playback, and it looks like the update won't be packing that functionality either. Microsoft hasn't ruled out adding 3D playback in the future, however.
The PlayStation 4, on the other hand, will support 3D Blu-ray movie playback after receiving a day one update, Engadget reported. Sony's latest console ships this Friday, November 15.
