    What the hell. You want to plug your xbox into your video card then into your monitor. Huh? If you want the xbox to play off the monitor, your video card has nothing to do with this...

    hes just saying that he has the connections in the back of his graphics card, and though there might be a way, but you will need to buy and adapter, as said before, and there is another topic on this

    Well maybe if you have money to burn. If the 360 was mine then id probably spend the money to get an adapter. Also you can make it look better if you hook it directly to the computer.

    You are all wring...

    Buy a TV Tuner PCI card for your PC. I use one, they range from $30 to $200...you only need the $30 software-based one

    There is a RCA-style (thats what you want) video input jack on the card (I have a Hauppague WinTV GO). Plug the xbox in here. Open the TV-watching app, and set it to display the composite input. Have fun with the xbox :P
