For 2 important reasons, you cannot use it for PS3:

1. It is only VGA, meaning it is analog. PS3 signals are digital. To transmit digital signal, you would need at least a DVI (digital video interface) port. Newer monitors have HDMI port which is the best.

2. It is not HDCP compliant. Some monitors may have DVI ports but does necessarily mean you can use with PS3 unless they are HDCP-compliant. Blu-ray technology requires HDCP compliant monitors. HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection, a copy protection scheme to eliminate the possibility of intercepting digital data midstream between the source to the display.It is important to note that HDCP is currently not a standard used in PC monitors.

So, sorry dude. that means, you really have to share with your kid brother. :)
