This was in the water cooler and got not one response... maybe the audiphiles are on this board... anyway
Im not even sure what this argument turned into... the whole topic in question was if the ps3 version of the new silent hill game will get uncompressed audio or not, and these 2 guys in the topic come in and sound like they dont even know what there talking about.... and it seems like there trying to tell me that the ps3 cant handle pcm audio or something... i dont even know anymore lol they say they are sound engineres but it dosent even sound like they know what there talking about

Linky no worky... I see no reason why the PS3 cannot support a lossless track on a game..

Now it works.. and i know the ps3 can do it, but these guys seem to think otherwise

guess the topic really is hard to follow...

I'd say they're full of it, some of the replies make (to me) no sense what so ever.

If you don't mind me asking, why is lossless audio a deal breaker for you? That seems, to my mind, a somewhat irrational stance to take ... (I know sound's a large part of the SH games, maybe more so than others, but making it a deal breaker still comes across as a bit hardcore to me)

Some of these guys are clueless and under the impression that uncompressed equals lossless. I still remember my first year logic class and my brain was starting to hemorrhage reading what's going on...

its a deal breaker for the ps3 version... because if the ps3 one dosent have lossless audio then ill buy the 360 one instead for the acheivments

I see no reason why the PS3 cannot support lossless audio for a game should a developer want to do this. But it is up to the developer. The reason given (that the PS3 does not have enough bandwidth or RAM) is bogus. I am just not sure that developers will offer lossless on the PS3 at least for multiplatform games.
