Is there any way to run my x box 360 through my monitor so i can play it while my wife plays her Gamecube? Any tv tuners or anything?

    There should be a VGA to DVI converter out there somewhere I think. I have the VGA cable and it works great.

    Doesn't the XBOX 360 have a damned HDMI port? Why convert from that to VGA to DVI? Or am I missing something... I don't have a 360, nor have I actually seen one in person :p

    Only the 360 Elite has the HDMI port. Extra 90 bucks and a 120 gig HD.

    When I read the thread title, I was afraid that a Wii-esk tossing error had been made. :P

    Is it possible to do this with a PS2?
  • edited July 2007
    PS2 doesnt have an official VGA cable but there should be plenty of 3rd party cables on the market.

    I remember seeing them on lik sang before they got shut down.

    Just use a DVI/VGA converter, the last 3 graphics cards I bought came with one and so did the monitor I think...

    Just make sure there is enough space for the xbox vga cable which is really really long and a converter on the back of your monitor. I can only connect via VGA on mine, the xbox converter is just too big and the stand gets in the way.
