    TV Tuner and S-Video Input are the main choices you get...

    unfortunately they will only give you up to 480i of resolution.... which is pretty sad for the Xbox360 or PS3.

    You have to get a 720p and above input to a display to get the most out your next gen console... which is not very easy or cheap (video capture devices using component, DVI, and such)

    You're going to want a gamebridge and not just a normal TV tuner as TV tuners typically have a bit of lag.

    Yeah, you'll need a gamebridge. Trying to use a TV Tuner will introduce a 1/2 second lag in response time. This makes most games completely unplayable.
