    If you have a TV tuner, yes, you can connect a console to your notebook. But be aware that with a good number of tuners you will most likely experience lag and possibly some video corruption. You might want to do a search for "tuner" on the forums. This has been addressed before and I think I remember a few tuners being recommended as better than others for this purpose.

    "UR(G?)" wrong, its all dependant on the TV tuner, a PS2 is trying to use the TVs quality to its limmits so its much easier to notice poorer tuners.
