How do I connect my PS2 to my MACBOOK?

Hi everyone
I am a high school student and I just purchased a Macbook. I will soon be attending college and I would like to connect my Playstation 2 to my Macbook without having to drag a tv around. I googled this question and some are saying I have to buy a USB Tv Tuner. Is that compatible with my Macbook?
I really just play all my games online and I don't want video lag.
If anyone has suggestions or answers it would really be appreciated!
Thanks
sarah

any intel macintosh compatible usb, or firewire, tv tuner with video input will work. i'm personally going to get an elgato eyetv 250 as soon as i can find one. i think owc has some.

yes i have been researching the eyetv 250. i found it on macmall for $189. It looks like a great buy and I will probably purchase it. If anyone reading this has one, IS there any lag with gameplay while using a gaming console?
some ppl say there is while others say there is none.

it depends on the hardware, which is why i want the eyetv 250, because it has a zero lag bypass setting.
