Question about Playstation 3 audio codecs?

I read here http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/02/why-the-ps3-isnt-the-best-blu-ray-player/ that the PS3 does not contain the DTS HD audio codec. This was written in January, so I was wondering if this is still the case as of now. Is that the only “problem” with the PS3 as a blu ray player? Thanks.
Thanks for the helpful answer! Will the LPCM downgrade the sound quality of DTS HD make it sound worse? Or will it be the equivalent of Bitstream?

Minority Report UI designer John Underkoffler talks about the future of gestures
Unless you’re an engineer who designs cutting-edge user interfaces, you’ve probably never heard the name John Underkoffler before … but you’ve definitely seen his work. Remember the computer Tom Cruise uses by waving his hands around in Minority Report ? He designed that. And it wasn’t just faked together for the movie, Underkoffler had a working prototype at MIT before that, and now he’s …
