One question I forgot to ask when I originally wrote this post is, does the PS3 have surround sound output or do I have to run the sound through a receiver of some sort?

The hdmi cable sends 7.1 surround sound, but I think you'd need a reciever with that. There is also an optical port which puts out 5.1 so all you'd need to do is buy a set of speakers with optical input. Most cheap surround sound speakers are made for PC's so they don't have optical and need a sound card.

 

The set I have (Logitech Z-5500) has an optical input so I can just plug it directly into my PS3.
