    Is there a way to run PS3/XBOX games on my PC?

    I know there's a PS2 emulator, which I've tried, and seems to work pretty well. BUt could I run PS3 games as well? Reason being I would like to play something like Gran Turismo, or Forza, or even the WWE games coming out soon - all of which aren't being released on PC>
    Any ideas?

    Unfortunately emulation on the 2 current gen consoles is way off, they still haven't got the Gamecube and PS2 completely sorted just yet. You could be looking at around another 5 years before it could even start to come to fruition.

    It's a good idea but I don't really have space for it, and I'm becoming used to PC level graphics.

    It's a per-game thing. Some work fine, some are unplayable.

    Emulation since the start of the year has come on leaps and bounds. Restarted Rogue Galaxy (my PS2 died before I could ever finish it) and with the internal resolution set to 3x plus widescreen hacks it looks stunning and runs solid at 60fps.

    Am I missing something? That list shows its compatible with just 11 games?

    Re: Is there a way to run PS3/XBOX games on my PC?

    You will need to click on the letters in the left side content box says "compatibility index" to browse the list of games title under that letter Or you can use search.

    I used this before about 4 years ago on my laptop during uni, I played Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 along with MGS3: Snake eater. The emulation of the games were average using tweaks and plugins for gamepad and GPU to skip some frame as it was slow on my system however there may have been many changes since I last used PCSX2.

    Edit: BTW If you wanted to run PCSX2 on your computer, it will require PS2 BIOS to run and play emulated game otherwise it will not work or start.

    It's 3DS emulation I want to see for Mario Kart 7! Not sure why it's taking so long though - I thought on the technical side it's very close to the DS hardware?

    id say the gamers only need an okay pc and whatever console sony makes. Ps3 is quite inexpensive atm you get a 12 gb one from play .com for 107
