Anyone got any suggestions for speakers for a PS3?
I don't have a TV at the mo, but my computer monitot has a HDMI input so i assume i can plug the PS3 into that? But the monitor has no speakers and the PS3 doesn't seem to have a sound jack port to plug my speakers for my computer into.
So anyone else tried this and, if so, what speakers did you get?

there is also an optcal output for sound
so any speakers with optical input will be fine

And it works perfectly. Plug one end into the HDMI port on the PS3, then a normal VGA cable to the computer monitor and it's got a sound jack port to plug into normal bog-standard computer speakers.
Set it up today and works without a problem. Only issue is that it's a bit of a faff having to reach around the back of the PC to unplug the speakers each time I want to use the PS3 - I'll probably just go and buy a cheap 2nd pair of speakers for the PS3.
It's slightly ironic that I originally bought this computer monitor because it had both a VGA and a HDMI sockets with the idea being that I plug the computer into the VGA and the PS3 into the HDMI but it's ended up the other way now.
If you get the right one now you could then use it when you get a new TV.
You know someone already mentioned that you could have just bought some standard AV cables and plug that into your PS3 just for Sound, and it would have been cheaper than that AND you would still get to use HDMI.
edit: You wouldn't even have to buy them! They come with the PS3!
