Can anyone tell me if it is possible or how to connect the Wii to a laptop? I am planning to take the laptop on holiday with me and would like to also take my Wii with me to connect to it. I want to use the laptop as the screen. Are there any RBB or Scart yo usb connectors?

You can use a USB capture card. Select a good one with a high resolution. But still it wont look good as a real monitor and you might see a little lag between the time you use the wiimote and the time you see it on the screen ( about 1 sec ). The best thing is to buy a portable dvd player with screen (one who have a input) and plug your wii on it.

If you have a Mac or can find Windows software for it, the EyeTV Hybrid from Elgato does not have lag on video input.  Other capture devices like from Miglia might offer the same feature.

and its $10.

Wow, that's a hell of a deal for a PC video input.

i just ordered one (well, i ordered the 1410, which includes a TV tuner, and it's apparently better than the PCI tuner I payed more for. lol)

Any place to check reviews on it? I'm really skeptical since it only costs $10...

It only costs 10 bucks because it's AN AMAZING DEAL.

Check froogle and these puppies are retailing at like, 50 bucks and up.
