not with the s300.

You can get Uncompressed PCM audio tracks, but because the player has no internal decoding or bitsream ability of TrueHD and Dts-HD MA...you cannot get those two formats.

(but upgrading the receiver is still a good idea, because you might have a player later on that can)

i am a little confused as to what pcm is also does the 399 ps3 decode true hd if it does ill be a lil upset that i paid the same amount for a worse blur ray.

dont forget, you can always use the S300 for Uncompressed PCM tracks...do you have an old school (non-hdmi) receiver?



as far as Sony Receivers...the lowest I would go for is the Sony STR-DG910 ($430)

...but for that price you should just get the Onkyo TX-SR605 ($400 +free shipping)

you can actually get the PS3 40GB for $299!

sign up for the sony credit card (at the right) and get $100 credit.
