PS3 or Stand Alone? - Blu-ray Forum

Well I got the PS3 80GB tonight... I know it was a little gutsy but I bought it at Circuit City liquidation because it was 10% off and it was brand new with manufacture warranty so I trust that it won't break within 30 days. I was pretty much broke after I bought it so I just rented Wall-E (never seen it before and thought it would be cool in blu-ray) and also Uncharted: Drake's Fortune game. I already had the optical and hdmi cords from monoprice and everything worked out pretty well. I haven't downloaded any of the firmware upgrades yet so hopefully it will get even better. One thing that drove me crazy was that I couldn't get Wall-E in DTS or even DD, only Pro Logic Movie... When I would put in the game it would automatically switch to DTS and Wall-E is DTS but I just couldn't get my receiver to correspond with it... I am hoping this is maybe a firmware upgrade? I still don't quite understand the audio terminology. Can someone tell me what bitstreaming PCM and the other option is (forgot) and the difference between the two? I don't have an HDMI capable receiver so I am running optical out to the receiver and hdmi directly to the tv. I was hoping I could get DTS or atleast DD on the DTS-HD blu-ray movies... any suggestions??

BTW: Wall-E looked amazing in 1080P!! I dunno what it looks like in SD but it was sure fun to look at just because of the vibrant colors and animation.
