blu-ray/ps3

I don't seem to see it mentioned anywhere, but the 60G PS3 has been discontinued since mid last year. Your choices now are 40 or 80.

**DEAL**: Amazon is currently offering the 40G for $399 with 8 Blu-ray discs for just an additional $80.

Dunno why, but my PS3 has serious audio quality issues with CDs. Seems fine with DVD/Blu-Ray. Anyone else experience this?

No, what output method are you using (connection)?

I'm outputting fiber out the back. More specifically:

I'm powering a pair of Paradigm Studio 40v3s off a Sony DS845(?) via a digitial fiber port to the Sony PS3. A particularly outstanding example of the problem was an Elton John song which sounded like there was a piece of paper vibrating on his mike.

I unplugged the fiber cable from the PS3, plugged it into a Toshiba HD-DVD player I baugg about 2 days before HD-DVD lost the format war and the problem is gone. The sound quality difference varies from "subtle" to "my GF who likes her computer speakers for music can tell from a room away" depending on the source material.

I've not noticed it in movies: but it's possible its there and just less noticed (again, because of source material).

I'e noticed that the fiber doesn't like to "lock in" on the PS3". I wonder if it could be a connectivity problem. I'm not sure how the digitial signiture sounds as it degrades here (used to the stated-packet computer world)
