    I just bought a PS3 and was wondering if there were any good HDMI or DVI input cards or external boxes or anything. My laptop will play the graphics much better than my tv (doesn't even have the red RCA input), but the DVI and VGA i have are only outputs. I have an S-Video in... but quality-wise I might as well just hook it up to my tv.

    So is there any USB box/switch/hub/device or PCMCIA HDMI or DVI input card that will let me play my PS3 on my laptop?

    You would need an external HD TV tuner card....$$$$$

    Do they even exist on USB? I don't think USB/FireWire have enough bandwidth

    Nope, after a past thread, USB can't carry HD, heh.
