I have an xbox 360 and its hooked up to my surround sound through an optical connection. I am getting a PS3 soon and was just wondering is there anyway to get surround sound on that as well when my receiver only has 1 optical input. Is there a connection which plugs into my optical input so I can plug my 360 and PS3 into it?

I have the exact splitter that Landogg posted. It works great. One thing is that only one console can be on at a time to get sound.So if you are testing it and you dont get any audio make sure one or the other is turned off at the time.
