Hey, Ok im heading off to uni this september and I am looking to buy a new laptop. The thing is when I go, I dont want to take my 28" fat CRT with me. So ist there anyway I can hook up my 360 to a laptop and play it through the laptop screen? And if so could you state any specific ports etc, I would be required on any new laptop to work. Thanks all

Most laptops only have one VGA port, and it's an out only (for hooking up your laptop to a projector for presentations, etc.)

To use your 360, you will need two things:

1.) A laptop with a video card that has a "VGA In" port in addition to a VGA Out port.

2.) A VGA cable.
