I wanted to add to my previous post regarding connecting your PS3 to a computer monitor.What about connecting the audio through to your your computer speakers as well?

This is a follow-up to my previous post regarding connecting your PS3 to a computer monitor. I received a lot of comments and emails regarding a (surround) sound system setup, so I'll try to answer them here.
After posting the quick "How to" regarding resetting your PS3 video settings, I received a ton of comments and questions. So, here is a post dedicated to answering them.
Before school gets way to hectic and I don't have time to play games, I thought I'd rent another title that I'm a fan off - Need For Speed. Their newest release called Pro Street. I downloaded the demo on the PS3 and looked like fun, I though I'd try it.
The intros are fun to watch - once or twice, after that you'll just end up skipping them. The in-game intros and cut scenes get repetitive very fast, and there is no way to skip them. The announcer who 'believes in you' get annoying really fast because of the clips repeat over and over again during the course of the game.
Since Warner Brothers is going to exclusively release their movies on Blu-Ray beginning May 2008, it looks like HD-DVD is going to die out fairly soon.
This means that my $700 CND investment for the PS3 when it just came out won't be going to complete waste. It might be a horrible gaming system/platform, but it's a pretty decent Blu-Ray player and the cheapest one you can buy.
So here is another instalment of a PlayStation3 tip to 'enhance' your user experience.
Some of my previous tips include:
I was getting bored looking at the same PS3 XMB (XrossMediaBar) - fancy word for your main menu bar/screen. Changing the colour of the default theme was fun for a while, but now the icons and background are getting a bit repetitive.
Since there is an option in the XMB for themes, I assumed that there is some way of uploading/installing/downloading/whatever a new theme.
So after a bit of research, I found the process. It's very simple - Just 10 easy to follow steps.
