I kinda figured that. Now that things have come down in price, I'm looking at a standalone unit. I purchased a BD-Rom drive, and even though the sound card is holding me back, I've played some DTS-HD MA titles, and it's incredibly smooth. Once Auzentech comes out with their X-Fi HomeTheater HD card, I'll be able to hear it a lot better.

DTS HD MA is a completely new ball game. But in order to get the full benefit, you need a good reciever and speaker set up. And also a good bd spinner. If you're a AV madman, you should really have a standalone BD player. The PS3 sounds a wee bit too bright.

[jamesf348]

Err, no. It never was, and never will be. When it first came out, it couldnt decode the new codecs, and even now, it can only decode and send via LPCM and not bitstream. The picture suffers from noise and it sounds too bright. For the price of a PS3, you can get a Pioneer BDP-51FD, or a Panasonic DMP BD 55, which im afraid trounce the PS3 in every aspect.

can you download full movies on the ps3?
