I think this is what you are looking for. But is says PS2 only. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/midwestgames/play2ps2truh.html

This one is more pricy. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005U5RT/qid=/sr=/ref=cm_lm_asin/102-7818164-2892960?v=glance

Well you could always get a video card withTV in and then play it like that.

Dang, these are a lot more expensive than I expected them to be :). My Video card has a "TV Out/Video In" connector... will that work? Its a S-Video input, but it came with an adaptor... The card is an MSI Geforce 4 TI-4200 128mb 4x agp....

That should be suitable. You'll need to plug it in to the input on your soundcard too, however.

So you might need to get/make an RCA-->headphone jack converter and then make sure the system has RCA sound jacks (or get another converter).

I already have the converter. I had a bunch of them laying around for some reason... Needed to use one to set up my surround sound also (Used some extra Cat5 cable for that... Yes, Im cheap) Thanks for the replies!
