The FAT PS3 decodes the Dolby HD and DTS HD internaly and sends that to the Receiver (LPCM 7.1), the Slim does it internally and can Stream it to the receiver for decoding @ that end, its all the same its just cooler to have your receiver light up the corresponding DD 5.1 or DTS HD 7.1 lights :) most of first party games have lossless sound options and some 3rd party. |
All PS3 games have at least dolby digital 5.1, most have lossless 5.1 (not including multi-platform titles), Some of them have 7.1.
As far as linear LPCM vs Dolby and DTS, it is often time better. A linear PCM track on a Blu-Ray movie or PS3 game will be in the form of a lossless HD audio track. This fidelity of the lossless track will always be better then standard Dolby or DTS track. It is usually only slightly better then TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio. There are very few people in the world who can tell the difference between a fully uncompressed audio track vs a TrueHD or DTS HD master audio track.
I currently know only 2 people that have a full 5.1 audio system, and they are myself and my brother. My brother only has a 5.1 because my family pooled together to get him a cheap HTiB for his house. Everyone I know has at least a 720p TV. My brother does not use his 5.1 anymore becasue it was too much work to hook it back up after moving. So at this piont I am the only person I know including freinds, family and co-workers that has and uses a 5.1 or greater audio system.
