I think the op was attempting verbal irony.  Jonathon Swift would be proud.

The TrueHD light's my favourite one!

Also, great post.

Or instead of going caps-lock-happy (the forum equivalent of foaming at mouth) you might have spent 30 seconds using Google and discovered that:

"Every Twentieth Century Fox and MGM Blu-ray features a DTS HD Master Audio track, as does all new Roadshow titles"

( link to the article going back to when the playback was introduced in April 2008)

And while it's a feature that I don't use because I have still not a proper home theater, a quick check of my Blu-ray movies showed that 16 of them out of 19 offer either TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio. So why exactly should the PS3, which was always positioned as a media hub and high-tier BD player, not be able to playback such standards, especially since it's a monster in stream processing?

Now the card reader, that was only useful to a minority of users, and I'm glad it got axed years ago to lower the costs. If I need to read a memory card I'll either use my €6 USB card reader, do the same on my PC and read the files trhough my file server, or connect cameras directly through the USB to donwload the pictures. Especially considering that the formats of memory cards are bound to change during the lifetime of the PS3.

Seriously, either post something worthwile in content or at least aim for the entertainment value.

Wow, this is the only forum i know of any kind where such massive ignorance exists.

whats next people on honda forums will bitch their civic gets to good a gas mileage at to low a price.

The average person doesn't give a hoot about audio this or that, blu-ray, hard drive size, processor, etc...

Most average people:

"My kid just asked me to come pick up a console for the holiday season.  What should I get them?"  Then, the sales person says, "Buy a ---------, because I think its the best for ---------- reasons."  The sucker then walks out the door with whatever console the salesperson suggested.  I have witnessed this amany times.  The average person doesn't even know what they want from a console.

or

"My kid wants me to buy a X, where is it?"

or

"What is the cheapest amount I can spend to buy a console and get out of this store?"

Gamers know what they want.  Average people don't care and many average people are still not technically savvy enough t make their own intelligent decision.

Bawwww Sony provides me all these high tech services at a price that is too high for me, Sony sucks!

Bawww Sony provides me all these improved high tech services at a price that is directly competitive for my wallet, They must be attacking me!


Hint: Your ps3 will work just fine without these services. Even without blu-ray, without TrueHD sound, without uncompressed audio, the ps3 would still be a steal at 120gb. And don't even try to argue that, it's physically impossible.

Since when is having alot of features for those wanting a true HD experience both visually and audio wise a bad thing?

Since the ps3 slim+price cut.

Maybe Sony wants to sell those better speakers? They are an electronics company after all.

Sony DAV-DZ880 Home Theater (5.1)

I have this for listening to my games.

Lucky me then
