Indeed,

'every 50th visitor will be able to download a hidden application or game'

Lets hope it's an aplication by the name of Home!!!!

Which would make it a half closed, half open beta of sorts lol

not going to happen. Sony did not announce anything about that yet.

There are some games with ingame messaging so im fine with that.

They confirmed the new store to be a running application from the XMB now...and not run off of the web browser as the current store does...so it will have better moving flash stuff, be faster, and finally have a search feature (which was pointless anyway until recently, but the store does have a fair amount of content to a new owner now)...

and yeah...this probably has nothing on Home...Sony has no idea what is happening with that...SCEE is heading it up, so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone anyway...there are still rumors of an April 18th beta release...but I will be extremely surprised if that happens even this summer...my guess is a beta by the end of the year...

I thought that they confirmed that the new store will NOT have a search feature (which is stupid, really.)

Well, at least there's a "View All Alphabetically" Function which would work somewhat like a search function, just not as fast.

Can someone explain to me how DTS-HD audio is better than lpcm uncompressed?

Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report

MorganX - 629 days 22 hours ago

The DTS-HD MA and TrueHD lossless compression formats can deliver full 24/48 master quality audio in about the same bandwidth and space as LPCM at lower 16/48 fidelity.

That means same studio quality lossless audio in less space which is why Bluray's use it. More extras, less space needed for audio.

Keys being best available lossless audio quality in less space.
