I know the PS3 has the upgradeable firmware, which is something most of the original models didn't have. I'm not sure if the newer ones are updateable or if they just come with the upgraded firmware.
Seems TrueHD is possible, but it takes a little bit or work:

Anyway, I digress. Long story short PS3 does have TrueHD and other HD audio format abilities, its just that it cannot output them in a raw format (bitstream). So what you have to do is go into the Bluray settings in the PS3 settings menu, and select PCM. PCM is a base digital format which is lossless and all the other good stuff you simply must have these days if you are ever to have sex again (or for you audiophiles out there, for the first time). The PS3 internally transcodes the TrueHD etc to PCM. Once this setting is enabled, the OSD on the TV says TrueHD!! Yaay.
