Hello, is there any way to play PS3 games on PC? Any kind of emulators or something like that?

Ok so now I managed to find information that emulating PS3 in a PC is not possible due to technical difficulties. I never owned a PS3 and I don't know anything about them. So thanks for making fun of my ignorance, it was really helpful and I hope you all feel better for knowing more than me and laughing at a foolish 12y old. I bow before your knowledge of emulators and apparently I was simply not worthy enough to receive a simple answer.

Are you in the market for a free Ipod? I have links that will hook you up.

I guess you also don't realize that what you wanted to do was most likely illegal.

You said you don't own a PS3 so if you were to somehow get an emulator on your PC and played PS3 games, you'd be pirating which is illegal. Piracy is generally not looked upon too kindly on these forums.

We gave you a simple answer and you chose to whine like a little girl.

Good luck in life, you're gonna have it rough.

What? With a working emulator you could play PS3 DVDs. Pirating is not the only source PS3 games you know.

Since everyone here is being a dick, Ill help you out.

If you're looking to emulate a PS3 and play uncharted series using current gen computer hardware, then its a big ass, NO.

They're actually blu-rays. You would need a blu-ray drive, and I'm not even sure if they're readable in a standard blu-ray drive. I've never put one in my drive. :|

So it sounds like you want to "supposedly buy" PS3 games and play them on your computer?

In other words, you want to by pass the actual PS3 hardware. If that's what you are referring to, then I don't know the legality of that. Sounds illegal still.
