but that is also suspect due to it using an older chipset that may, or may not be able to EVER decode it.
Actually from what I can gather from the threads at avsforum is that the chipset won't allow the bitstream of DTS HD MA, but there's nothing that would prevent the PS3 from decoding it and sending it as pcm in theory. The question is whether it would be done or not. So while I can't say that the PS3 is the best bluray player out there it's definitely one of the best and one of the most future proof. I've had no glitches or problems with it and it's whisper quiet if I keep the room temperature low enough.
