To connect the PS3 to a HDTV you need an HDMI cable if your HDTV has an HDMI connection, if it doesn't you need a PS3 component cable.
Does optical need to be hooked to receiver as the HDMI cable to tv?
Depends on the receiver. Some models have just a pass thru feature and connot decode the audio portion of the HDMI signal, and therefore will need a digital audio cable to get sound. Some receivers can decode the audio, so you will need to consult your manual to see what they say. If you need a audio cable it will tell you.

HDMI cables carry both video and audio. You only need one.
Which is better optical cable or HDMI?
HDMI is a pure digital signal for video AND audio. It's the best you can get. Component is the next best option for video, but most upscaling DVD players and the like can only send a 1080p signal via HDMI. If you're asking about coaxial as in the coax cable that supplies your cable feed to your tv or cable box then there is no comparison, literally. It's two different things. The cable signal will be decoded in the cable box then sent to the tv via whatever format you're using. If your talking about running the coax straight from the wall to your tv then you will NOT get an HD signal. You will have to have an HD cable box then run HDMI or component out to the tv from there. If you're talking about digital Coaxial cable, that is used for audio only. You have three options here. If you run everything through an HDMI switching receiver then that's all you need. If you're going straight to your tv and using built-in TV speakers then HDMI is all you need. If you're running your video to the TV with HDMI, but audio through a receiver then you can use either digital coax or toslink connections for digital audio. Toslink (fiber optic) is supposed to be the best for audio, but I've used digital coax and don't notice much of a difference. On a side note, if your tv accepts DVI, then you should know that DVI is essentially the same as HDMI except without the audio. DVI is digital video only.

Can you get sound on your tv with a VGA to HDMI cable without using a converter?
No, a VGA cable does not carry audio. You will need a converter that has an audio input to add the sound channel to the VGA picture channel.
Can a hdtv with dvi in work with sony playstation3 using dvi HDMI HDMI cable?
Yes, a DVI input will usually accept an HDMI signal via an adapter cable but make sure the TV input is HDCP compliant otherwise protected content, such as Blu-ray movies, will not be viewable. Also be aware that DVI inputs do not carry any sound, so you will need to connect the PS3 audio with a separate cable to the TV or amplifier. Many TVs have a pair of phono inputs for this purpose but may need to be assigned as the audio connection when DVI input is selected.
