"Nobody doubted it"

Oh, really? There were polls across many of the A/V forums similar to the one I've linked below. And here's a moderator on AVS Forum, after the news was posted (read that again, especially the word "after"), still expressing doubt:

Yes, indeed, there were many people who said it would never happen and just as many who said, if it would happen, it wouldn't be for a long time. Some even went as far as to say (and they were being serious) that a DTS-HD Master Audio upgrade would require PS3 owners to shell out some cash to Sony! Just shows you how ignorant some people are: Sony didn't write the Master Audio decoding software -- DTS did -- and since Sony already pays the DTS decoding licensing fee for the PS3, adding Master Audio doesn't cost Sony anything other than compiling the firmware update to include that software.
