Audiophiles and shoppers will love firmware v2.30


SCEA has been kind enough to detail the full feature list of the upcoming firmware version 2.30, which is set to release on Tuesday the 15th of April. Yes, the new firmware will allow you to visit the swanky redesigned PSN Store, but it will also include improvements to the audio playback for Blu-Ray movies. We're not too up on audio-visual technology but we're sure it's very exciting to those who understand it.

V2.30 will add "DTS-HD Master Audio™ and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, enabling consumers to enjoy Blu-ray movies with studio-quality, high-definition audio." Apparently these features include various high numbers of things, such as 7.1 channel sound and 96k sampling frequency with 24 bit depths. The point seems to be that "things will sound better." Which sounds good to us.
