"Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced that the next system software update for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) system, slated for release next week, will add DTS-HD Master Audio™ and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, enabling consumers to enjoy Blu-ray movies with studio-quality, high-definition audio. The technologies, from DTS, Inc. (NASDAQ: DTSI), provide PS3 users with the complete high-definition Blu-ray movie experience, matching the format's crisp visuals with rich, lifelike sound. In addition to the new audio capabilities, the free system software update (v. 2.30) will allow PS3 owners to access the revamped PLAYSTATION®Store, as previously announced.
DTS-HD Master Audio brings Blu-ray movies on PS3 to life, delivering everything from explosive sound effects to intricate orchestral scores with pure, high-quality audio that is bit-for-bit identical to the original studio master. DTS-HD Master Audio has the capacity to deliver audio at the incredibly high variable rate of 24.5 mega-bits per second (Mbps) on Blu-ray disc, a rate significantly higher than standard DVDs. DTS-HD Master Audio also offers 7.1 audio channels at 96k sampling frequency/24 bit depths. More than 100 Blu-ray movies and concert videos featuring premium DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks are available.

Additionally, the DTS-HD High Resolution Audio codec allows content creators to deliver uncompromised, high-definition audio on Blu-ray, while requiring less disc space than DTS-HD Master Audio. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio streams audio at a high constant bit rate of 6.0 Mbps on Blu-ray discs, and is also capable of up to 7.1 audio channels at 96k sampling frequency/24 bit depth resolution, thereby producing outstanding sound quality.

Beyond enhancing PS3's audio capabilities, installing the latest system software update will also enable users to seamlessly access the new, more dynamic interface and enhanced navigation of the PLAYSTATION Store. As part of a revamp, the PLAYSTATION Store will transition from an integrated online storefront to an application living natively on PS3, enabling customers to more easily and quickly locate and purchase games, and download demos, game videos, Blu-ray movie trailers and other game-related content for PS3."


Supposedly, the japan site states 4/15 as the date.

All of you who said you'd buy one if they added DTS-MA, get your credit cards ready. ;\)

Great news for PS3 owners, it's supposed to release on April 15th.
I'm really happy with Sony for the first time in a long time. If they had made the unit with IR instead of Bluetooth I would rate the PS3 a 10/10.

IR for the game controllers would be awful though. If they made it with BOTH I agree it would be better... but replacing Bluetooth would be a big negative in my book.

Right, they should have INCLUDED IR. But to tell you the truth, I'm happy enough using the controller as a remote, although the learning curve sux.

Is this decoding or bitstreaming? Sounds like decoding (which I think belongs in the player, not the receiver).

Just in time to file your taxes, and turn any return money into a PS3!

My taxes have been done for a while now, and the money already allocated. Besides, I don't want a PS3 in my house! I am having a hard enough time keeping up with my favorite PC games since we got the Wii, and I've got 3 games for the Wii that I haven't even loaded yet...

I DON'T need a PS3... I DON'T need a PS3... I DON'T need a PS3....... It's not helping!!!! ARGH!

Nick, maybe we should close our eyes, light some incense and chant or something.
