Ps3 / Xbox 360 --> Elgato Hd Tuner --> Mbp = ??

Hi guys,

Im desperately wanting to buy GTA IV (along with a PS3) and, I live in the US and UK throughout the year, so I was wondering if its possible to run a PS3 or 360 into an HD tuner and run the game on my laptop. This would alleviate any NTSC / PAL worries as well as letting be slightly portable (yes I know these consoles arent small but thats OK, Ill pack less clothes!)

If this works and have set it up is there a noticeable latency as the HD tuner does its thing? ie,would the game be unplayable?

Not worth it with the latency.

Im thinking the same thing but without actually testing it I cant be sure - have you set this up?

I've used the eyeTV products to attempt gaming but the latency was very noticeable. You might be able to slide by for a turn based game but anything with action needs a real display.

Cool, thanks. its a shame cos it would have been cool to have the ability to do it!
