Make sure the TV has analog audio out (I'd be very surprised if it didn't). Then you can run HDMI to the tv (HDMI carries video and audio) and then standard RCA cables from the analog audio out from the tv to your receiver.

I ordered my HDMI (and many other cables) from monoprice.com.

The playstation 2 had several problems with the DVD drive over the years, so my guess is the person who told you it would go bad is extrapolating the experience from the PS2. I haven't heard of any long term problems with the PS3, but it really hasn't been out that long.
