I'm not really sure what forum to post this in, but I figure this is close enough. I'm looking to pick up one of the new slim PS Two models that were announced a couple weeks ago and thought I'd capitalize on the new portability factor by buying an adapter that would let me use the screen of my 12" Rev C PB as a display for playing games. I'm kind of clueless as to whether I can do this with my particular video card, etc.. Anyone have any experience with similar endeavors?

big negative on that, sony should sell a smaller screen tho, the one for the PSone was like $99
Powerbook G4 12" 1.5/100gb/768/SD/APX

Yeah I don't believe there is any type of video-input capability on any PB. There is no connector for it, at least.

That said, is there a such a thing as a video-input PCMCIA card for 15' and 17" powerbooks?

ATI made an external TV tuner card thing that goes into the USB port on PCs. It had RCA audio and video in jacks and a coaxial input. With this you could use a laptop screen to play any console games. It's not compatible with Mac, but maybe there's another similar product that is.

I've been looking into the same thing, oddly enough. The only thing I've found so far is the EyeTV.
