Pre-Purchasing Help Needed - Sony HTSS1100 & PS3

Hi all, i have finally decided to purchase the following items:

Samsung PS42Q96HD (same as Q97)
Sony HTSS1100

And my problem is that i would like to connect my ps3 to the reciever with hdmi, which i believe carries 5.1 dolby, and would i get 5.1 if i connect with just hdmi to the amp and amp to tv with hdmi? because it saves me some money not buying an optical cable.

Please reply as soon as you can.

No, the 1100 will not process 5.1/DTS signals via HDMI, so you'll have to link with optical for Digital surround.
The New 1200/2000 models will carry 5.1/DTS via HDMI.
