Yes but my monitor is DVI. Not VGA. I am aware of converters that change VGA to DVI however will this work? Does anyone have any experience of this?

I have an xbox 360...one of the original styles with component.

I have a PC monitor with a hdmi connection and a dvi connection.

I recently moved to university, hence no TV (which normally go used)
What is the best way to connect it to the monitor? I have searched for various adapters and converters etc on google to no avail.
Anyone have any insights to a way it can be done?

Thanks guys.

If its the same price and comes out relatively soon, then I will buy it. I already want one (mainly for OoT and Starfox)

Star Fox 64 (Lylat Wars) was one of my favourite games on the N64, I would be sad to see the franchise die. I even remember enjoying Starfox adventures on the Gamecube!

Most people I know who have used play.com say they got crap service, but to be fair I do here good words about them from time to time.SuperSaltySlug
Never had an issue with Play, if they had the cheapest price I wouldn't hesitate to use them.

Small world. I was strangley impressed by how friendly the promo people were, despite them being paid to be nice etc they did seem to genuinely be having fun.

Played it at the Newcastle leg of the tour, I would potentially buy it just for Ocarina of Time. Overall it was very impressive, I must admit the 3d hurt my eyes at first, took a little while to get the sweet spot on the slider which changed from game to game for me. On some games it was tricky to 'lock in' and keep the 3d effect focused (particularly Kid Icarus) However I was standing and being jostled a little by people walking past. Here are some quick thoughts on what I tried out. Remember its just my oppinion and from what I gathered and what the promo people were saying is that it differs from person to person (the 3d effect that is) Ocarina - brilliant, system seller in my oppinion. Nice graphics update, total nostalgic trip. Street Fighter - great, but the controls seemed to be more tricky than usual, however im sure after a while of getting used to the circle pad/D pad it would be better. Graphics were verging on console quality. Nintendogs - insanely cute... in a totally non masculine way! ( :/ ) Resident Evil Mercs - great graphics, controls took a little getting used to (despite playing the console versions) Steel Diver - Not really my thing, allthough I didnt give it much time. Pilot Wings - 3D really added to the visuals letting you judge distance easily, seemed like a nice relaxing game. Kid Icarus - I was not really a fan, controls were overly fiddly. Reminded me of Star Fox 64 a little (and I was in love with that game, looking forward to the 3ds version) I have never played any of the other KId Icarus games if that makes a difference.... Just my quick thoughts on what I tried out, I didnt try the AR games for some reason which I regret a little.
