As mr peepers pointed out before it seems to depend on whether the receiver is doing the decoding or not.
If PS3 is set to "LPCM" our shiny soundmachines will only "see" PCM and then of course will only display "PCM"
... all that wasted money...

Funny you say that. I was getting so impatient for the PS3 to decode DTS MA that I bought a Denon 3808 and had planned to get a blu-ray player that sent the new sound formats via bitstream, and then 3 weeks later they announce DTS MA for the PS3. On the other hand, I have no regrets about buying my 3808 as this is the nicest receiver I have ever owned. My previous 2 Denons were in the 2000 series not 3000, and I am amazed at how much better their 3000 series are. I love the 3808, and eventually I want to get a stand-alone blu-ray player and just use my PS3 for games (less wear on the machine, since it's the 60gb model I am using it for all the PS2 games too). I am considering the upcoming Sony 350 player which will bitstream DTS MA and Dolby True.
