Infinity091 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 my monitor has vga slot only..but the 360 has an hdmi port..so i should buy the vga cable right ? how much does it cost ? It costs about 300 bucks but its pretty hard to find. But its available on playasia. http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-de-77-...en-70-16s8.html Also make sure you buy a VGA switch along with it if you intend to use a PC on the same monitor.

nitmeh3 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thanks a lot everyone. I had called up MS Support as their site had listed the above accessory as available for Rs.1650 but its actually not available any where here in delhi atleast. I will try the grey market now.

L33TWiZaRd Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Glad it panned out for you. how much did you buy the cable for?? Also if you are interested in using both the pc and xbox360 simultaneously on the same monitor you can pick up a small device called Manual VGA Switch from Nehru Place(about 300 rs.). Using this you can alternate between the pc and the xbox360 with the press of a button. I'm using the same setup with my 360,pc and monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
