This is a question that I cannot find the answer to anywhere, not even Microsoft have even made a statement saying if VGA users on computer monitors will be able to play these games. They have only said that 720p HDMI will lock up, so going by that VGA will be fine, so shall I risk downloading a game tomorrow then moan afterwoulds? Or should I waight for others to dive in and moan?

I do plan on staying on the console the whole day on the release of the new dashboard update, testing every feature, finding new hidden ones like the Music playback while on the old xbox backwards compatible games, so I am willing to test but not risk 1200points.

I hope someone has found something I have not, if so please quote it and link us here, would rearly be a great help.

If this doesnt work for VGA users a lot of revenue will be lost, and Microsoft would need to rethink and refund a lot of people.

its the old xbox games for the new update tomorrow, its just some of those games at the moment dont work for those using the vga cable, but tomorrows games will be differenet and hopefully will support the VGA cable, nothing about resolution its all based on 50 & 60 Hz. I'm not planing on ringing up till this afternoon and if your calling me an Idiot when you hardly know about xbox and xbox 360 forshame on you all.
