There are no steps before playing on PC. With Steam, you don't even need to install the game. It's just download and go! On PS3 you would need to download and then install at a snail's pace

No steps?
1. Buy a PC (I will skip the part I need to buy a fantastic video card and install it)
2. Install the latest drivers and stuffs
3. Download the Steam and install it
4. Buy the retail game or the Steam version (not all games are in Steam)
5. Download and install the game (Skip if retail. yeah when the Steam download the game it install it too - does it at the same time, no extra time needed)
6. Configure the game... resolution, filters, etc
7. Run de game to see if the performance is good... change the settings if necessary
8. Now I can play my game
Console steps
1. Buy a console
2. Update firmware
3. Buy the game
4. Download (If retail, skip this)
5. install
6. Download patches that might have become available since it went up in the store
7. Play the game
Sorry... I hate how the games works in PC... just it... I want to just get a disc put it in the machine and play.

Fixed. Basically, PC gives you more options. At least you can run the game to see if its performance is good and then change options so that it does run well. If the same happens on PS3, you're screwed and you bought a game that runs well and looks bad no matter what you do.
If you already have a gaming PC, then it's a safe bet that you have Steam already. That reduces the steps to about 4-5, while console steps are 4-5 too
To your last sentence: The vast minority of PS3 games are that simple to play. It's very likely that you will have to install and then download patches etc.

nownow, configuration is just an option, you don't NEED to do it, your game would just look shittier like the console version :P. I mean, consoles have options to select too, like audio, screen size, and all that jazz too hehehe.
