I think need some sort of TV Tuner.
I'd like to be able to use my laptop as a TV for my Playstation. I have a PCI express slot (Or whatever is it Dell puts in an Inspiron|E1705 laptop), and I know tuners can go in there.

It's a PC Express slot. I have a PC Express TV tuner.
A TV tuner receives (usually) digital TV signals, and streams it to your computer. Thus, the source of the video/sound is only through broadcast TV. Does your PS2 broadcast TV signals? Usually no... so... it's unlikely you'll be able to. Not many laptops do have a video in port.
You may be able to get a video in RCA-to-USB device or something... I'm not sure how much they are or if it would be worth it. Maybe around the same as a TV tuner.

EDIT: Actually, it's called "ExpressCard".
Not ExpressCard laptop ones... you'd probably have to go USB.
And I'm not sure, but digit tuners generally might not, unless they're analogue/digital combined tuners.

Theoretically it can work. You'll need a TV-In card and a cable converter box (red white and yellow cable to VGA) which could then be plugged in to TV-In card.
I have that setup on my desktop at home. It works for plain ol' LCD monitors, so it should work for laptops. It may set you back $60 or more.
