How to Get My Laptop to Read a Blu-Ray PS3 Game
Video games created for the PlayStation 3 gaming console come on Blu-ray discs. If you want to view the contents of a PS3 Blu-ray game disc using your laptop, you must have a Lite-On DH-401S Blu-ray drive installed. The Lite-On DH-401S Blu-ray drive is the only device that can read PS3 game discs. The device reads the discs as data discs; it does not allow you to play the games on your laptop. You can connect a Lite-On DH-401S Blu-ray drive to your laptop via a SATA USB optical drive adapter.
