Hey Guys!

I worked a lot this vacation and it's finally here;

I can buy the Xbox 360 Pro! ;)

But before I do, I got some questions and hope you can answer them.

First, about connecting the Xbox to a screen. Is it possible to connect with my Pc screen, cause I have a 22 inch flatscreen and I think it'll look nice at it. Do I get a cable with the Xbox for the screen or do I need to buy another one with it?

And about going Live, unfortunate I don't have a cable wich I can use to go online, but is it really necessary to buy the special xbox 360 wireless adapter or can I use another USB wireless connector like for the computer.

Well these are my questions, thanks in advance!

Greetz.

If your monitor has an HDMI connection, you can use that, otherwise you will need to purchase the Microsoft VGA cable to connect your 360 to your monitor. And btw, the 360 only supports a limited number of 16:10 resolutions for now, but in the fall upate you will be getting many more to choose from :)

And the 360 comes with a really long ethernet cable, not sure if that'll help.. if you NEED to go wireless you can't just use a generic wireless adapter, you'll need one specifically for the 360.

I THINK(not sure) that the HDMI cable only comes with the elite.

as for live, the wireless adaptor is about $100. I'm not gonne use that, though. I bought a $70 router and using the ethernet cable that came with my 360. but that's just me. try other methods if you wish. :P

Oke thanks guys,

unfortunate my screen doesn't have HDMI so that'll be an extra cable. ;)

Well thats a bummer, cause I'm actually doing it for the Live experience.

We have cable here, so it can't go in 2 ports. Really stupid.

Hm maybe I need to think about it, or just wait so I have enough for a wireless connector.

Thanks for the help!
