I'll try this again...

"I have more good news to report today – the system software update (2.30) will also add DTS-HD Master Audio output for Blu-ray videos, which means the high-definition visuals of Blu-ray will now be matched with the highest quality audio for the ultimate movie-watching experience on PS3.

DTS-HD Master Audio is literally bit-for-bit identical to the studio master recording and makes movie soundtracks and sound effects truly come to life. The technology delivers audio at the incredibly high rate of 24.5 mega-bits per second (Mbps) on Blu-ray disc, which is significantly higher than standard DVDs. DTS-HD Master Audio also offers 7.1 audio channels at 96k sampling frequency/24 bit depths, so you’ll be totally immersed in the sound. The firmware update will add DTS-HD High Resolution Audio as well, which is a similar output technology that requires less disc space. You can read more about both codecs here. "

The more I read these the more I see that my XBOX 360 has a LONG way to go to being a true media station.

I would love to get a Blu-Ray drive for my XBOX and play all of the same media that it can (Mostly H.264/AC3 MKV files wrapped in VOB).

If Bill doesn't get the lead out, no more of my $$$ going to the XBOX Media environment. It will be a game machine only and a future PS3 will fill my media needs]]>Apr 10th 2008 8:18AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/09/ps3-firmware-engineers-interviewed-dts-hd-ma-support-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/09/ps3-firmware-engineers-interviewed-dts-hd-ma-support-on-the-way/
