    It is an HDMI out only. You will not be able to play PS3 on your computer.

    No such thing in existence. There is, however, one laptop with an HDMI input - Alienware M17x (I think M18x has one too, but I'm not sure about that).

    Those yellow, white and red cables You mentioned are used for analogue video(yellow)/audio(red+white or black) A/V transmission. AFAIK there's no way they would work with HDMI, which is 100% digital. Links to YT?
