hey guys i'm picking up my s*ny surround sound system on fri, i made sure i bought one with an optical connection so as i can hook it up to my ps3 as im a big gamer and sound is of great importance to me but my question is this. Will i get full dolby 5.1 surround sound through the optical cabel while playing games or does it just reproduce 2 channel sound and scatter it through 5 speakers? any advice on this matter will be greatly appriciated!!!Cheers lads (;

Pretty much all games are 5.1, just verify on the back of the game box and look for the Dolbly Digital logo, if it's not there it's just 2.0 sound.

You should have splurged for a receiver that has a HDMI input that accepts and decodes audio, much better quality with the blu-ray movies.

Yes, you will get the true 5.1 sound. I haven't come across a game that wasn't 5.1.

I also use my sony theater system with its Optical audio cable for my sound. Yeah, my PS3 is connected to my TV with HDMI but then I would have to use the TV's speakers (which suck). So under settings, in the XMB, make sure to select the optical audio for the PS3 output. It took me a while to realize that. lol I thought the cable didn't work. lmao
