It's just a false rumor. The HD-DVD drive will be external drive.

I planned to buy an Xbox 360, and VGA HD cable so I can play using my PC monitor. I just noticed 1 thing, my PC monitor doesn't have VGA-in port. doh.gif

My monitor: 17" CRT Samsung 763MB.

At the rear of the monitor only have power socket and the VGA cable (unremoveable) which connects to the VGA-out port on my graphic card.

Any other cheap solution that available locally so I can play Xbox 360 in HD resolution? cry.gif

EDIT:

I found the solution, I can still use the VGA cable, provided I can find Female to Female VGA Cable / Adapter.

It looks something like this:

Any idea where I can get it?

Any idea how much it'll cost?

And if I play Xbox 360 on CRT monitor (which have 4:3 aspect ratio), will the game be displayed in 4:3 ratio or will be in 16:9 with black bars on top and bottom? Or I can select which ratio I want in system setting?

yup this is the one bro cylon helped me to buy from lowyatt plaza. actually if you extra budget just buy the original msoftvga cable better no need sakit kepala at all.

Oh, it's included? I downloaded the VGA Cable's installation manual from Xbox.com, and I found this:

"Your monitor may not have a VGA input. If not, you may need to
purchase additional equipment.
Go to www.xbox.com/support for more information."


So I thought it's not included in the package and must buy on our own.
