    ideally you'd have a line output, not a headphone output to feed it though, the impedance missmatch can make it sound like crap using some headphone outs.

    if you have an old PS2 lying around, then you can use it's AV output cable, stick it in the back of the PS3, and connect the left and right (white and Red, respectively) phono connectors to your amp.
    Apart from that, I think it's got an optical SPDIf connector, to hook it up to digital amplifiers.

    Yes, you need that. The amp will then decode into 7.1, or you may have to down mix to whatever you have.

    If it's an optical SPDIf cable, or a coax one (phono plug) then both ends are physically the same on the cable.
    You need to connect the digital OUT on the PS3 to the digital IN on the amplifier. There is no digital IN on the PS3 anyway.
