Taking screenshots on PS3

[XenithFlare]

I don't suppose anyone has any idea how to screencap on a ps2/3? IIRC someone mentioned something about connecting a camera to the system and linking it ... but I'm not exactly sure how to go about that. Ideas? Suggestions?

Run it through a pc using a tv tuner/capture device. You could also try one dedicated to console gaming:

Aww, that'd be completely awesome if I 1. Had a PC, and 2. it weren't discontinued. Thanks for the link though; any other ideas on where to get a capture device?

As Sychosis pointed out, you can find the Adaptec easily online even though they have been discontinued. As for any other capture device that I know of, you will need a pc.

Yeah, for some reason I wasn't thinking too clearly on that point. <_< I'm usually rather online-savvy when it comes to purchasable items... Thanks for pointing that out XD Now... must wait for Boot Camp... >_>;

We've got four desktop iMacs, but the one we'll be using will most likely be our MacBook black. It's currently running the newest software, if you need to know that, as well. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

I haven't used one of these personally so I can't vouch for how well it works but it seems to be a decent capture device specifically made for macs:

Ooo... looks pretty neat. Soon as I can come up with $150 to spend at will, I'll do that. Thanks for the link!
