Alright here's the deal.

I've got a 360, and will be buying a PS3 within the next week. I've also ordered a new TV/Monitor that has VGA and HDMi inputs. I've been using my old monitor for my 360 using the Microsoft VGA cables. Now the PS3 has HDMi right? So I was wondering how it would work if I plug both my 360 VGA cable into the TV/Monitor and my PS3's HDMi cable in too.(Note: I'm no tech guiness, I'm just assuming VGA and HDMi have different plug ins). Would the monitor react to the first one turned on? Any solutions to this.

I would just get sick of attaching the cables, the unattaching, then attaching them again and so on.

Alright, past couple of months my PC has been overheating here and there, but now it is very often. Right now, my case is open on one side, and I have a fan blowing on it.

I had a new PSU put in when I got a video card. The PSU was above the requirments. I'm thinking it has something to do with the fan on the processer. The CPU is about 3 years old. Could with CPU be overheating and the stock fan on it not be keeping it cool enough?

Alright, my 360 got the 3 Red Rings. 10 Minutes later works again. 1 minute later Red Rings. 5 Minutes later or so works, then Red Rings. Now works, and will prolly Red Ring soon.

Send 'er in?

Look at the first cinematic. And then maybe press Start when it's done.Lord_Drax

Yeah same. I might not hit start though... Just sit there.

Like CassiusGaius said, you'll prolly need a new mobo. The one you have now problably has AGP or PCI slot. Not PCI-E. And if you ever want to do the whole DX10 thing to the max you're prolly going to need a new processer since the P4 might slow things down just a little.

I've played Forza 2 for 12+ plus hours, and it hasn't done anything to harm my 360.

Would you recommend a Widescreen LCD Monitor, or standered. I heard someone saying that widesreen is better.

Hey.

I'm looking to buy a new LCD Monitor. I currently have a 17" normal monitor and feel that it's time to upgrade.

Now, I'm looking to buy a 22" or 21". When comparing monitors I ran into one problem. Since I usually play games on my pc should I get a Widescreen, or just normal LCD? And I possibly like to play my 360 on my montior.

What would you guys recomend?
