How much are you willing to spend on a receiver? What's cheap to some may be expensive for others.

With a PS3 you will not need the HD codecs supported on the receiver. However, if you think you will ever upgrade to a stand-alone player that supports bitstreaming the HD codecs to a receiver, you may want on e that supports it.

BestBuy Canada has the Yamaha HTR-6130B on-sale this week for $179 CDN. It's part of their 50 Doorcrashers of the week which ends July 30. It's certainly cheap enough, but might not meet your needs.

If you not getting stand alone blu-ray player, any receiver with or without hd would work fine, consider sony entry level receiver which around 280 in amazon that can do decorde hd and 7.1 speaker support. You might want 7.1 speaker since many ps3 game now support it.
