Mini Display In?

[Customhobo]

Hey guys.

So I have a June09 Macbook Pro 13" and a MiniDisplay to HDMI.

I was wondering, is there anyway to use my Macbooks display as a screen?

I plan to be doing a lot of traveling and want to take my PS3 with me, but I won't have a reliable TV. I wanted to know if there was anyway I could plug my PS3 into my laptop and use that somehow.

Thanks in advance guy.

Sorry, that is not possible to do.

I'm not really that familiar with PS3 but looking into below links might be worth it.

You could get a TV tuner with HD input. I have an EyeTV Hybrid, and it has a low lag mode specifically for things like game systems. Anything that does encoding before displaying the picture will add a lot of lag (possibly 1/2 second or more, making games unplayable). I can't remember if the EyeTV has composite video in, but if it does that's what you would use.

eyetv has coax in. I believe you can get coax to composite adapters though.

The EyeTV 250 has composite in and a game mode.
