No there are only output display ports on a laptop, nothing for external input unfortunately.

You can buy some USB tv tuners and connect your PS3 cables to that usb adapter, and boom. You've got yourself PS3 on your laptop.

I used to do that with my old PC and my PS2 as I moved house and didn't have a TV. I remember the frame rate/resolution sucked ass using the PC's monitor compared to a TV.

Technology has gone a long way :pac: You can pick up HD tuners these days which also have solid framerate display too (although at a price)
