The problem with PS3 games is two-fold. The first problem is that since the PlayStation 3 uses Blu-Ray, you need to be able to have a blu-ray burner on your PC. Blu Ray is Sony's own creation, and is basically a new type of disc which is burnt with a blue laser, allowing it to store a lot more files and data than the DVD. This has allowed Sony to make their games a lot more versatile, but it also means you need a $500 burner to copy their games.
The second problem is the copyright protection these games have. PS3 games are all encrypted, which means that they have all been encoded in a way that only Sony and the PS3 can read. This means that if you try and read the game in your PC, it's only going to find a random selection of jumbled words, making it impossible to copy the game.
This protection means that when you try and copy a game, your PC cannot read the data that's on the disc, thus making any copy unable to be played on your console. That's why mod chips are so popular - because they make your PS3 bypass all the encryption settings, making your console willing to read any game disc that you put in, copied or original. However, mod chips void your console's warranty and are illegal.
Therefore, to copy & play PS3 games, you need to get your PC to be able to read and copy the game in its encrypted form. You need to be able to make a 1:1 copy of the game, by using a tool or technique that allows your PC to read the encrypted data. There are not many of these tools or techniques around, but there are a few, if you know where to look.
You can actually copy PS3 games very easily with a tool called "GameBackupSystem". This tool has been created by an anonymous team, but we were able to backup and play 20+ Ps3 games with it. It copies your game discs perfectly, including the encrypted data. This means that you can copy as many games as you want with the system, and then play them on your console without a mod chip.
