play xbox on computer screen?

I would not say this is the right Place to ask things like this but...

There are actually 2 ways i know of:

1. You could use a TV Card for your PC and use S-VIDEO or Composite

or

2. You use a so called VGA-Box. Something like http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...=UTF8&v=glance

I am using a VGA Box cause some TV Cards have a "lag" between signal input and output. But i heard there are some cards without that lag. Try the games section. There are some threads about that!

There's actually a third way too, though it suffers from somewhat severe lag and image quality limitations (adequate for turn based RPGs or strategy games but a bit hobbling for any real time action games). Namely, if you happen to have a webcam that has s-video input (not as uncommon as you think, mine is just some straight logitech webcam), you can plug the console video output into the webcam (and the webcam into the computer, presumably through USB). You'll have to do the sound separately (just pick up the appropriate converter at Radioshack and you can plug it straight into the audio in on your computer). Then, fire up the console, fire up your webcam application of choice, and there it is.

The end result is actually kind of cool in one way, and that is that you can turn on the actual webcam software and broadcast a continually updating screenshot of whatever you're playing. I did this (with a PS2 not an Xbox but it'd work the same way), and whenever I played I put up an away message saying "I'm playing ps2, visit 128.151.86.98/webcam for a screenshot."

Anyway, not totally practical I realize, but I played through the better part of Xenosaga this way. That, and one of my friends wasted tons of time at his job continually refreshing the screenshot to watch me play.

The vga box is the best solution, the tv tuner will also work, if you have a good one the lag will be around half a second, ok for sprorts games but maybe not shooters and fighters.

Your user icon is... disturbing.

Another option for you is to use component out from your X-box, and hook it up to a widescreen LCD capable of component-in (like the Dell FP2005, or FP2405). A little more expensive, but it makes a nice excuse to pick yourself up a nice LCD.
