I do not know anything about PlayStation3, so the first thing I did was go online to find out what video formats and media PlayStation3 support. From the following link:
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/742/742009p1.html

MPEG-1
MPEG-2 (PS, TS)
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
MPEG-4 SP

As for media supported, check out the list. It looks like it supports Blu-Ray, DVD, and CD. (My personal discovery was that Blu-Ray is also know as BD.)

Next, I do not know anything about your camcorder Canon HF100, so the next thing that I did was go online to find out what video formats that this camcorder offers. From the following link:

You appear to have an AVCHD camcorder with the distinction of recording to a SDHC flash card.

Your camcorder AVCHD video is said to use the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video compression codec so I am assuming that PlayStation3 should support that format. Never tried it.

Next, I searched your post for the version of Premiere Elements that you plan to use for this project. That you did not mention. I need to know that. The recently released Premiere Elements 7 is the only one of the Premiere Elements versions that supports AVCHD. Premiere Elements 7 offers two project presents for AVCHD, with and without 5.l channel sound. It looks like your camcorder offers AVCHD with 2 channel sound. So, if that is the case, then I would pick the AVCHD project preset without the 5.1 channel sound.

Depending on the size(time) of the AVCHD, you could export that and then burn that saved exported file to a DVD. More details on that if necessary. Or, if you have a Blu-Ray burner, you could have Premiere Elements 7 burn your AVCHD to Blu-Ray disc.

But, as you see we need a lot more details to fill in the gaps.
