PlayStation 3 to support DTS surround sound


Recommended Posts

PlayStation 3 will support the DTS Coherent Acoustics surround sound, it seems safe to say, after Digital Theater Systems announced that the format will be a mandatory audio technology for the Blu-ray disc medium, which Sony last week confirmed that it plans to use in PlayStation 3 in a read-only format.

 

Although DTS is probably lesser known than Dolby's Digital and Pro Logic II solutions, it's nevertheless respected in the DVD sector and a number of PS2 games including Grand Theft Auto: Vice City support it, although Pro Logic II now seems to be more prevalent.

 

Given the rivalry, Dolby is also more or less certain of supporting the Blu-ray disc format - hopefully giving Sony supporters some much needed Dolby Digital 5.1. Whatever happens, PS3 should be well equipped for surround sound options.

I posted a topic about 2 weeks ago with scans from that article. ;) And it's also coming out for PC since it's Elderscrolls, not just consoles. And is it officially announced for the PS3 yet? I know it's definitely coming out for PC and XBOX2 but the PS3 version was unconfirmed at that time. I didn't read the article since only the pictures were scanned.
