    • yes, i do it alllll the time

    • No. Why else do you think games have to be specifically published for either PC or whatever console ?

    • No. but you can just plug your laptop into most TVs the TV will display whatever is on your PC and PS3 has wireless controllers so just use the PC

      Actually you can, but you’d have to sorta tweak your Ps3 and potentially break it, The Ps3 is a hybrid of a console, with a PC and as you may know many people have installed OS on there ps3′s. I have Linux on my ps3 and run a few PC games on it, but not high graphic ones because the OS i have isnt fully compatible with the ps3 cell processors. I can probably only play games like Command & conquer, Roller Coaster Tycoon, RuinScape ext. But with SanAndreas it would probably lag a bit. The only way you’d be able to use the full power of the Ps3 for PC games would be if you find the proper OS, one like windows XP. But as of yet no hacker or Software Engineer has been capable of creating one. Maybe in the future. If for now you’d like to install Linux and play low graphic PC games then google “Linux yellow dog” and research a bit about how to get that for your Ps3.

      Don’t listen to those answerers who say yes. There’s absolutely no way. Even if you install Windows (tricky, but you can install it on top of preinstalled Linux), you won’t be able to, because PS3′s GPU is locked for all non-PS3 products.

    • yes u can burn it onto a DVD could u can play it on u r PS3
      it is the best way i have tried it!!!
