I recently bought the Bose Lifestyle 18 surround system and the Sony KDS-R50XBR1 50" Grand Wega SXRD, and will be getting the PS3 when it comes out. Looking at the Bose reciever, it doesn't have an HDMI connection, and I know the PS3 will - along with the Blue-Ray DVD.
Pardon my ignorance here, I'm new to the home theater and HD scene - But will I be able to use the PS3 with the surround sound? If so, how? Would it have to route through the DirecTV reciever (has an HDMI outlet) and since the Bose reciever is connected to it, work that way?
Any other tips for optimal setup would be greatly appreciated as well.
Thanks

You will be connecting the HDMI output on your PS3 to the TV for video and 2 channel audio. Your PS3 will also come with an optical output for digital audio; this will connect to your Bose system. When hooking up any audio/video device, it is important to make sure all necessary settings are changed for optimal performance. On your Bose unit, you'll have to access the system menu to tell it what input is using the optical input (IE: AUX). You'll also want to make sure that you use the AdaptIQ DVD that came with your system to make sure your getting the best sound. On your PS3, you'll need to access its settings to let it know what type of TV you have and that your using Dolby Digital. Also, your Bose system comes with 2 component video adapters. You'll want to use this for your new TV. If you get a weird picture, you need to access the systems menu again to let it know that your using component video.
I hope this helps.

You can either route it through your DirecTV box, or purchase a scaler to convert it from HDMI to DVI or whatever connection your TV has, the PS3 may also be available with adapters to other connectors than the HDMI. Good luck but this is your most likely possibilities.
Good Luck
