Wahhh, I didn't get 5.1 Now you learned your lesson. Spend $600 on a home theater system? Wow!!! What do you expect for that?

wow look at me, im an internet douchetard, and for the record, 600 can get you quite a bit, youd know that if you were on the home theatre forums portion onkyo is key.

You can spend 100 dollars and still get DD 5.1. That's all he was asking for.

the anime that is up there has 5.1
it's even shown on PS3Fanboy.com. go to ps3fanboy.com and go to page four of the site and they have a review/walkthrough of the service and there is a picture where it clearly shows 5.1 audio on the HD anime series. I do agree it should list if it is or is not 5.1 though. but, for the record, 5.1 is offered.

LOS ANGELES — HD movie purchases are possible through Sony’s new PlayStation Video Store, but Hollywood studios are not allowing any HD purchases through the Internet, according to Grace Chen, senior manager of the PlayStation Store.

Consumers can rent movies in HD through Sony’s new service, but they can only purchase them in standard definition. A two-hour HD movie takes up about 5GB to 7GB of space, while a standard definition movie runs between 2.5GB and 3GB of storage space.

Unlike Microsoft’s Xbox Live Marketplace service, gamers will not be able to download a TV show multiple times. Chen said because PlayStation 3 has plenty of hard drive disc space, consumers shouldn’t run out of storage space. Microsoft allows consumers to erase and re-download any purchased content.

Sorry to say, partridge is right about what he's saying. Being the voice of reason can be lonely sometimes.
So, the studios aren't allowing HD downloads? How is M$ and Netflix getting away with it? And otherwise, isn't this something they can fix with an update? Sorry, don't have time to read the full article just now.

Becuase they have different agreements, if that is the case.

Some possible scenarios I can see though. Some titles may go through a procedural channel expansion at the distributor end, as opposed to getting studio mixes for 5.1 [for various whatever reasons]. Certain audio tracks may not have the audio rights cleared for anything past stereo digital reproduction from the soundtrack artists, and that would require another royalty check.

It would be nice if it was disclosed though, but well if I have to look at a wiki before renting from the PSN, so be it, but again I'm not looking at actually using the service.

*blink*

Well, I'm going to be renting something now.
Stargate Ark of Truth popped up on the HD rentals [I just noticed it myself anyway], so I gotta get that.

Would have been nice to know the movie. Some b titles and of course old movies do not have the best sound. However, if you don't like a movie for the sole reason of poor sound than that truly is sad. Sound is important but the movie itself is the most important.

thats retarded, sound is part of the experience with the exception obviously for silent films. wouldnt you enjoy a movie less if it sounded like it was recorded on a talkboy, muffled sound, etc.
