The PS3 decodes dolby true-hd internally. Currently it does not decode DTS MA. The BD30 bitstreams both dolby true-hd and DTS MA. It does not internally decode them in the player. If you have an hdmi receiver that decodes these high end codecs then you may want the BD30. If you have an hdmi receiver that doesn't decode then the PS3. And if neither, then you may want a player that decodes internally and has analog 5.1 or 7.1 outputs.
