PS3 and PC?

[Monk3y Pulp]

I've been doing some snooping around and have been wondering: Are there games that PS3 and PC share? I'm a huge xbox fan and I'm starting to delve into the wonderful world of pc gaming. Games for windows gives me a good library of xbox games, but I'd like to play some PS3 exclusives like uncharted. But I don't want to shell out the money for a whole new console. I have my doubts about the possibilities but I'd like to know for sure.

You cannot play the PS3 games on your PC. Firstly, you would need a blu-ray dive (which you may or may not have), and secondly you would need the necessary bios, firmware, and codecs to get it running. The 2 systems have a very different architecture.

Yupp, what Emp said! There are a ton of games that are on both PC and the PS3.... but they are not compatible with each other unfortunately.

ya no, I wasn't looking to play the actual ps3 disc on my laptop but I was looking for more ps3 exclusive titles that have been released on the pc as well so that's good to know. I just gotta look into it more, I really want to play uncharted cause it sounds really cool, but I just don't think theres gonna be a pc version

Ok, I thought that's what you meant! :P

Honestly, I thought there were maybe a few games that were PS3 exclusives and on PC as well.... but I can't find any D: Guess that would sort of defeat the purpose of "exclusive" title, but still lol

It would be highly unlikely, but still possible. Microsoft and Sony don't play very well with each other.

Sony's first party titles (Uncharted, God of War, Gran Turismo, LittleBigPlanet, etc) will never be on another platform. Their exclusive games are what sell their systems, they wouldn't give them up to a superior platform.

Not sure if you're implying that M$ make money from PC games sales (I'm assuming so, seeing as this thread is about PC/PS3 and has nothing to do with the 360) but I just wanted to clarify that even though Windows is the primary OS for gaming, M$ doesn't make a dime. Except from Games For Windows Live, but who uses that ****?

I bought Fable 3 off steam when it was on sale via Steam and didn't realize it forced you to run that disgusting program... God, it's awful. And it pretty much crashes the game, as well as many other things -.- I couldn't believe how terrible it was. :/

It's the kind of thing that would ENCOURAGE you to pirate games, because it makes things unplayable. Good job, Microsoft.

Sorry for the off topic but it really makes me sad :(

Same thing happened to me!

Also, pirated or not, unfortunately you still have to use Games for Windows :(

Unfortunately PS3 games are no more compatible with PC than with Xbox or vice versa.

Portal 2 I think

There is one game that you buy for one and get for the other. Portal 2. I think it works so that if you buy it for ps3 you can get a download code for steam. I forget the specifics.

Just saw Blackopzombies post AFTER putting this up. Sorry for duplicate.
