    Hey guys,

    Just wondering if it's at all possible to use my XBOX console on my computer's monitor?

    I'm pretty sure I've seen a few pictures of this done on the net, where people have successfully hooked up their's...

    Anyone able to do it with theirs? or got any ideas how it's done?

    Thanks in advance :cool:

    If you dont mind spending about €50, you can buy a VGA adapter. I got one from these guys. They are based in the far east but it only took a week for mine to arrive :)

    I've heard that one's only ok.

    I got the http://x2vga.com/ adapter and its excellent.

    Hopefully you haven't ordered yet.

    I disagree quarryman. I got mine last week and found it to be very good. It isn't tv quality but for the price it does what it's meant to.

    Just after reading the box. Apparently The VGA adapter I got supports the ps2 as well. Try the link I posted and have a look.

    I'm not sure about the x2vga that Quarryman said was quite good. Have a look at both links. They may well both support it.
