from article on High Fidelity Review:
CD, DVD Video, SACD, Dual Disc and Blu-Ray Disc Playback
Turning to optical disc playback, the PSP3 will feature CD, DVD and Blu-Ray Disc drives that will offer a dizzying array of optical disc playback options.
Included in the list are not only backward compatibility with Playstation 1 and 2 CD-ROM and DVD-ROM discs and CD-R and DVD Video discs. The PSP3 also includes the playback of CD, Super Audio CD (SACD) and Dual Disc recordings including the support of "Dolby 5.1 Channel, DTS, LPCM, etc." sound.
Sony officials confirmed that the PlayStation 3 will support Direct Stream Digital (DSD) playback. The PSP3 will play both the CD Audio layer and the SACD Audio layer (both SACD Stereo and SACD Surround Sound tracks) on Super Audio CD discs. In response to a question about the reference to SACD "HD" in the product announcement, Sony officials explained that this was a reference to SACD's "High Definition" audio capabilities which in the past had been referred to as High Resolution audio.
The Dual Disc support is of particular note since this is the first time that an optical disc player maker has specifically included Dual Disc playback of both the audio and DVD sides of the Dual Disc in such a product. And it comes from one of the 13 companies (Sony Computer Entertainment America) that had previously issued a Dual Disc advisory. We'll see if this is the start of a trend where more optical disc player makers begin to issue Dual Disc logo'd players in year ahead.
The PSP3 system capabilities include the following playback options:
Playstation CD-ROM
PlayStation CD-ROM, PlayStation 2 CD-ROM
CD-DA
CD-DA (ROM), CD-R, CD-RW
Super Audio CD (SACD)
SACD Hybrid (CD Audio layer), SACD HD (SACD layer - SACD Stereo & SACD Surround Sound)
DualDisc
DualDisc (Audio side), DualDisc (DVD side)
Playstation DVD-ROM
PlayStation 2 DVD-ROM, PlayStation 3 DVD-ROM
DVD Video
DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW
Playstation 3 Blu-Ray Disc
PlayStation 3 BD-ROM
Blu-Ray Disc Video
BD-Video, BD-ROM, BD-R, BD-RE
Computer and HDTV Features
In addition to the optical disc and music features, the PSP3 also has a host of computing and High Defintion TV features as well.
The PSP3 will include a detachable 2.5" Hard Disk Drive slot, 6 USB I/O connectors, connections for Memory Stick, SD Memory and Compact Flash Memory, 1 Ethernet Input and 2 Ethernet Outputs at 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T, 802.11 b/g WiFi Wireless and support for up to 7 Bluetooth controllers.
On the video side of things, the system will support video playback at 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p with 2 HDMI outputs.
