If you're getting the PS3/40GB, you have to buy the component output breakout cables pack separately (for ~$20) -- the pack includes stereo audio output. Not sure if the PS3/80GB comes w/ it or not -- but probably not. On the bright side, you don't need additional cables for it -- other players don't generally come w/ them anyway.

And am I reading this correctly that it won't output DD+ over optical?

This I'm not sure -- can't remember if that was a choice in the settings -- but I do get 640Kbps DD in my setup, which would in theory be better than what you normally get from DVD. I haven't really compared, but I get the impression that it does generally sound better than what I normally get from DVD.
