    How to connect Xbox 360 to PC?

    How do I connect my Xbox 360 to my laptop? I've got the VGA cable and audio cables. Anyone got a clue?

    For use as screen.
    I looked into this so that i didn't have to take my TV to uni, just my laptop and 360. Couldn't find a way to make it work though...

    Not every Xbox 360 gme is available for the PC, though.

    The most I can suggest Klemmel is to buy at least a 22" monitor. But make sure you have 2 VGA outputs. 1 for the computer, 1 for the Xbox 360.

    Alienware = overpriced. Way overpriced.

    Sorry but my Laptop knowledge is limited.

    Can't you get a TV card for your Laptop? A PCMCIA maybe? That way, you can just plug-in the 360 to your Laptop's TV-in the same way you'd do when connecting to a TV.


    Yep, seems it's possible. Get yourself a PCMCIA TV Tuner card, seems like you're looking at about 70$
