    I can't take it anymore, I've jumped to backing Blu-ray!

    I have yet to buy into either format, but I can honestly say that up until this past week I have been a pretty staunch HDDVD supporter. First off I am not a Sony fan. I have never owned a sony product other than a discman (and a used PS2 only to play GuitarHero) and I think of Sony in the...

    PS3 and Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master???

    With only and an HDMI and an Optical O/P, how will the PS3 be able to play these upgraded sound formats since there are no AV receivers with this technology built in? There are not any analog o/p on the back on the PS3. Thus the PS3 can't decode it and pass it to the receiver. Man, I can't...
