The only way to play your PS3 games on a laptop is by using a capture card. Connect the PS3 to the capture card via HDMI, then the capture card to your laptop via USB. Download the capture card's software and follow the setup instructions!

Just get a video capture card. Hook up the PS3 to the capture card with an HDMI cable, and then plug the capture card into your laptop through a USB port. Easy peasy!

You can't directly connect your PS3 to a laptop with an HDMI cable because laptops have HDMI-out ports, not HDMI-in. You'll need a video capture device to make this work. Plug the PS3 into the capture device, and then connect the device to your laptop through USB. This setup lets you display and play your PS3 games on your laptop screen.

Honestly, it's much easier to just play on a TV or monitor. Laptops aren't designed to take HDMI input, and workaround solutions are clunky at best.
