Question Connecting a PS2 to a Powerbook

I was wondering if anybody here could help me out with this one, 'cause I've been looking all over the internet and I still can't find a clear solution.

I want to connect a PlayStation 2 DIRECTLY into my Apple Powerbook...it is one of the old Titanium Powerbook 15'' notebooks, I wanted to know what I need to buy in order to bypass a TV and use my laptops screen as a TV...

I was told a TV tuner might work or something like that...does anybody have a clear and foolproof solution?
I would very much appreciate it...

Thanks,
Johnny

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This is interesting, but I've never heard of any way to do this. Then again, I'm pretty computer-illiterate.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I currently use an AVerMedia hybrid card to do it.. It's a tv tuner that uses the pcimia slot in my laptop. It lets me view regular tv, digital tv and also plug inputs in such as consoles. Works great!

If you plan to use a tv tuner card though, make sure you research it to see if there's any lag with video-ins, because some of them have a tiny delay and it can mess you up when playing fighting games.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I was looking into the AverMedia card that you told me and apparently you can't get it in the US. Do you have any solution for American customers? any other non-latency PCI TV tuner cards?

Thanks,
Johnny
