Don't think it'd need a new HDMI chip though, the PS3 has always been HDMI v1.3.

HDMI 1.3 added support for Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD Master Audio bitstreams, so you'd think the PS3 should be able to do it... it's just that for some reason the PS3 itself has never previously been able to : it can only (at the moment?) internally decode them & output as multi-channel LPCM.
