The PS3 will bitstream out everything but Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD over the HDMI. Buying a receiver with TrueHD and DTS-HD processing will not net you anything with the PS3 as the source. Most people I've met or read with a receiver capable HDMI audio input select PCM out on the PS3 which configures internal digital audio processing and outputs only PCM to the receiver.
