Cannot, because there is no input for the iMac monitor.

Unless you unscrew your iMac and modify the cable inside, meaning you modify it. Do it at your own risk.

You could have a video capture card or something and then run it from the output on the PS3 to the iMac, i never tried before but maybe can work a HD capture card, but damn expensive, might as well buy tv ... tongue.gif

It is possible for the PS2 using a USB tv tuner. I'm not sure about the PS3.
