I need an adapter but I do not know if it exists!

So here's the summary of my problem.
I have been saving to buy/build an amazing gaming pc but for an unspecified reason I have decided to order a new PS3 Slim (released tomorrow).

My current (and much loved) Dell 2.1 speakers plug into my PC using the 3.5mm reciever (this is probably the wrong term) on the back. The PS3 doesnt have one of these, however it does have an optical reciever.

I need an adapter that changes the male 3.5mm jack into a male optical cable. Does this exist and where can I procure one?

Thanks for reading,
Fledge.

That's not quite what I was asking for : /

Yes it was. Maybe you don't know what you're asking for?

I think I'm asking for something that doesn't exist

So then I'll be needing to buy some optical speakers, right?

Without sounding really lazy (I have tried looking), would I be able to hook up the Logitech X-540 5.1's to a PS3?

Damn, well, thanks a lot for all your help and clarification

I'm off to start a new thread regarding PS3 speakers.
