Ugh, my mistake, actually for -preset slower @ 1080p the refs need to be 
4 for the PS3 and given in -x264opts:

ffmpeg -y -i path/to/source/file -map 0.0 -map 0.1 -metadata title="The 
Title" -metadata album="Movies" -acodec libfaac -ac 6 -ab 384k -f mp4 
-vcodec libx264 -crf 24 -r 24 -preset slower -deinterlace -x264opts 
level=41:ref=4 -threads 0 outputfile.m4v

If you use -preset medium (the default) it will work fine because the 
refs are 3 for that preset.
