That's great to see my PlayStation 3 (PS3) will continue to be one of the best Blu-ray players available on the market today. I can't wait for BD-Live! Bring it Sony! ; )

BEN, JOSH, PETER,

Can you guys ask Sony how far DTS-MA decoding is away ?? Anytime within the next 6 months?? Its getting ridiculous all these DTS-MA soundtracks, and all we get to hear is the core version.

Sony didn't want to "steal" all that they keep in reserve for the Blu Ray conference is my guess
