"Playing your Console thru your PC"

I've just started university and have a PS2 which I'm taking with me.

I've already got my PC up with me and was looking to play my console on it, rather than fork out for a TV too.......because I already have a TV tuner on my PC.

I heard about this device that lets you play your console games on your PC?
Any ideas what its called?

70 characters to be exact.

Yes, but it's very annoying.

Because this board only allows so many characters without a space. So large URLs need to be seperated and its best to put "(Space)" rather than " ", as people might miss that and wonder why the link doesnt work.

Glad I could help out.

I've read the reviews on the site - one says the picture quality is great, the other mentions of the blurriness that I've had with past and my current box. Exactly how does it look when compared to on TV?

Hi Icarus, I will be getting one of those Logic3 boxes some time this week and will let you know how it is.

I've actually already seen it in action as its the exact same one my friend has. Picture quality on his 15inch Dell monitor seemed fine to me.

Its going for £40 on that url that Adrian kindly provided. I saw it for £36.95 at http://www.anandp.co.uk/ but postage there is £6 so a few quid more in total.

GamingLegend, if you are getting the Logic3 box, please can you let me know how the picture quality is when you get it? I've been considering many of these VGA boxes for a while, and at the moment own one which can play TV, PC and ocnsole signals out.


However, as you may have guessed, the picture quality is far below that of my TV at home (which is only a 14" bought in 1999 for £100),and because I only have room for the one output device (monitor) I have to go for one of these.

I've also been looking at the mini LCD screens specific to each console - pricey, but if it brings back the TV quality I've had for years, I'm not complaining.

Forgot to say it, but thanks Adrian!

Thats the one I'm looking for. I just found it too but its a tad more expensive at this other site, by a few quid.

How come people put (SPACE) in their URL's here?

Theres a VGA box here for sale.

I see you've seen all those TV License ads.

I've read in some areas about the quality of these "VGA Boxes" not being up to scratch. But when I played using a friend's PS2, it was fine. Maybe its the quality of the VGA Box itself.

Thats the reason I'm looking for the exact one he had. It was a small device and had 4 inputs on it. He even had his video connected to it as well as his PS2 at the same time.

All the ones I've seen at the moment have just the one set of inputs..so I think I'm steering clear of those.
Will let you know if I find one.
