Hey I was wondering what would i do if i wanted to connect a videogame system (ie. Ps2 or Wii) into a macbook pro in lieu of a tv. I'd want to be able to use the computer's speakers and monitor so that i could play videogames with both video and audio. Is there any device that would make this possible with composite, component, or s-video caples. I don't have a tv and dont particularly want to buy one giving i have a 21 inch external monitor. Could anyone help me?

No. It's one little box that does three things:
Analog TV tuner
Digital TV tuner (DVB-T) in 1080i if you have dual CPUs
Composite/S-Video & stereo audio input.

Nine 4/5 star reviews at the apple store, one with 3 stars

is S-Video better worse or the same when compared to component cables?

Component is better than S-Video, which is better than Composite.
