PS3 3D Update Has Audio Output Limitations

CDR Info writes: "There are some limitations on Blu-ray 3D disc playback. The 3D display of some elements such as menus and subtitles may be different on the PS3 system than on other 3D playback devices. Depending on the content, some BD-J (Blu-ray Disc Java) features such as BONUSVIEW and BD-Live may not play in 3D or may not function properly on the PS3 system. In addition, when Dolby TrueHD is selected as the audio format, audio will be output in Dolby Digital during playback of Blu-ray 3D content. Last but not least, when DTS-HD is selected as the audio format, audio will be output in DTS during playback of Blu-ray 3D content."

Hmmm looks like they had to take some band width down, in order to incorporate the 3d for the movies....

Don't like the down grade...Still good, i mean there is no 2006 Blu-ray that's even capable of doing what the PS3 is doing for movies/games...

Macho Man5706d ago

OHHHHH yeah, looks like you're right, yeah but don't tell you I said that.

DIG IT

Cyrus3655706d ago

Ya Damn right I'm right Macho!

Dr-Zoidberg5706d ago

It is still the best value for money Blu ray player around but it is a little disappointing to hear this news combined with the other Blu Ray 3D problem that has emerged.

For some this is going to be a serious issue.

Cyrus3655706d ago

Definitely best value around, but yeah disappointing...I wonder if it's rushed and tech can be improved, or is the cell maxed out on all the things it's doing, hence some of the features cut.

raztad5706d ago

This may just be software issues, or bandwith. Too early to tell. There are some bugs reported, and

"Depending on the content, some BD-J (Blu-ray Disc Java) features such as BONUSVIEW and BD-Live may not play in 3D or may not function properly on the PS3 system"

totally sounds like one.

HD audio could be a bandwith problem.

Cyrus3655706d ago

I think disabling BD-J (Java),and HD is definite band-width issues, especially the audio portions...

hoops5706d ago

Still its a good deal. Having this missing is not great, but you still get a top notch player and a game system.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle8d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde15d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy15d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga16d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199216d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga16d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman16d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box16d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion15d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7216d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7516d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit16d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14916d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7716d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
