I mentioned Untold Legends for the PS3 the other day. What I didn’t notice the first time around was that this title would be in 7.1 channel surround sound, and that it’s a launch title.

First of all, no movies or games are currently being released in 7.1 surround sound. That’s something that BD and HD DVD are promising. So that’s pretty cool right there. Makes me wonder what format they’re going to use, though. And since I haven’t seen a single receiver or preprocessor in the world that can decode the new 7.1 format, I have to wonder why they’re bothering.

Another interesting thing is that T3 notes that this title is 1080p. If you go to the the Untold Legends for the PS3 website however, it just says 1080i. Which actually kinda makes me wonder about that 7.1 channel sound statement. Maybe T3 is just full of it. Who knows?
