Hey Everyone! We know you’re all patiently waiting for the next PS3 firmware update, ver. 2.30, which includes the revamped PLAYSTATION Store. I have more good news to report today – the system software update will also add DTS-HD Master Audio output for Blu-ray videos, which means the high-definition visuals of Blu-ray will now be matched with the highest quality audio for the ultimate movie-watching experience on PS3.

awesome so they're updating their store to sell stuff and making the moving watching experience better.

you have to read the fine print that it can play games too i guess.

Yes, one with HDMI. They start at $400.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. I just bought the Onkyo TX-SR605 for $299 w/free shipping. It has a built-in DTS-HD decoder. Granted, it was a refurb, but I think if you look in the right place you can find new ones for $350.

Font is small and very difficult to read.

new store is nice. takes awhile to load certain areas. I guess its because of all the traffic. font is easy to read.
