Well for the PS3 you'll need a blu-ray drive.
And to play the game you just need to find a proper emulator

Your going to need a TV tuner card that has the RCA jacks in it, which I have never personally seen in a laptop so I doubt your going to find one. Get a desktop for that.

Yeah, not possible for regular consumer laptops. You could prolly pay a few thousand dollars and get one :p

And yes, blu-ray has gone down a lot…

In my store..

Reader only = $159
Reader/Writer = $289

From the $999 of 6 months ago. Woot, but still, way too damn expensive for 2x….

especially when blue ray holds like what
25 GB (single layer)
50 GB (dual layer)
400 GB (sixteen layer)
[sarcasm]…. trying to burn 400gb at 2x = 3 years…[/sarcasm]
