ditto, i feel this way about the ps3, as a BD player, the lack of internal decodeing support for dtsHD and the lack of bit streaming these codecs is the only knock against it. as an overall package the pros outweigh the cons IMO. and now that BD is the clear winner in the format war, i'm hoping dual format studios that once were focused on using dtsHD MA or trueHD due to hd-dvd limitations on disc size and bit rate will use the format in support of the hands down most prolific BD player on the planet.
i do love the 7.1 LPCM support that the ps3 does provide and its that, combined with the hope for a firmware update to fix this issue, that's motivating me to get the sony STR-DA3300ES over the STR-DG2100. otherwise without a firmware update i'll probably buy a BD player later on that can do it for me.
