My PC isnt top of the range Alineware, its just good enough to make the latest games look fair enough.

I should be able to hook the 360 to my laptop monitor, right? Then I won't need to shell out for an HDTV.

If not, I can save up a few hundred to get a modestly sized HDTV. I don't really give a damn about having to have the hugest-ass TV just to game, I'm not of those types.

Dunno about that.

Cos of the lack of cables in this country, I'm waiting for one from Japan. ATM I've got a highly-sought after VGA cable but nowhere to put the AV cables as my amp is too far away. Go figure.

Waiting for an S-Video cable from Japan.

Will that do the trick? Would it work with a laptop monitor? Mine has an S slot thingy but that may only be one that sends the image out to a telly, not necessarily sends things into the monitor. I don't know about these things.

When I finally get mine i'm hooking up the component leads to my monitor.

Intrepid Homoludens · 12-16-2005, 12:33 PM

What are component leads?

Lucien21 · 12-16-2005, 12:36 PM

4 leads for video 2 for audio.

Great article.

Insofar as the f*ck up goes, it's less the fact that getting a console is frustrating, as that's a given at this time of year and the demand. It's just HAVING one and not being able to hear the bloody thing that's an issue.

Ah, thanks. That's what I suspected it would be.
