100% Blu-ray, but still no player - Blu-ray Forum

squire23 · 10-02-2007, 04:28 PM

Still waiting for on board processing of DTS MA for $500 or under. I have an older reciever so 5.1 analog is my only option at this point. Is a player with this capability possible within the next couple months? I hope to have one before my kids start getting all there Christmas movies on DVD. I want them on Blu!

Thanks

Why not get a PS3?

PS3 does not have 5.1 analog outs so I can't get Dolby True HD or DTS MA. Otherwise I would.

Well the likelihood that PS3 will support surround sound via analog is very high, considering the built in SACD player that can't go through optical. If they support analog it'll be a big boom in the SACD format. Of course that's speculation, I might buy a new receiver myself soon so I can get HDMI in and hear SACDs.

PS3 with 5.1 analog outs? That would be awesome as I'd love SACD support also. Since that's a hardware issue has there been discussion that Sony will add analog connections on future PS3 releases. Thanks for the responses.

You're not 100% if you don't have one.

I suspect soon you will have a PS3 under $500 that will get DTS-HD MA via a firmware upgrade before Christmas. Buy soon, and I think it's a safe bet you'll hear your DTS-HD MA on your brand new PS3 soon enough. Kids will go bonkers with the PS3, trust me.
