And is it easy as plug-and-play with my PS3 and Monitor?

Unless your monitor has a built in Capture card and I've never even heard of that. Search the forums here for capture card or video capture and look at those threads. This particular thing has been discussed a lot here I do believe.

Think about it like hooking two game systems up to the same TV. Say it's a Wii and a PS3. There is no way to save any data from one of those systems to the other. It's the same concept. You will have to get some type of capture card to make that PS3 to PC connection so you can cature video. And that's where the searching comes in. There's a bunch of threads about capture cards and setups on here already that cover most of the knowledge needed to get them working right. And what you can't find here, you can always google the name of whatever capture card you get and see what software drivers and all are available for it.
