Alistair Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Okay, I am now planning to get either an X360 or PS3.....but one thing has just hit me..the consoles are "HDTV" or whatever, right? I only have a normal standard TV, and a flat-panel VGA monitor....so is it still possible for me to use either console?!?! Furthermore, I was really hoping to use the console I get with my VGA LCD monitor, and I thought when I found something that goes from PS3 to DVI, and then a DVI to VGA converter "yes!" but realised then how will I get audio out of the system?!?! But yeah any insight or links to something relevant and useful will be highly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Xbox 360 and PS3 will work on a standard TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Yeah I just read myself on the playstation website and realised you can set SD resolutions, good that's step 1 accomplished! But now how to figure out how I connect it to my monitor and speakers..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Yeah they can work on standard TV's, just don't complain when you can't see any difference in quality Seriously if you can justify it, invest in an HD capable TV, it's well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishoM Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 They all work on regular TV's, the same one you used to play your PS2 will work with the PS3, the same you used to play your Xbox should work with the 360, the same you used with the GameCube should work with the Wii.

Alistair Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Well, I've found a way to connect an X360 upto my LCD monitor and sound system already, to do the same with PS3 would cost considerably more, and that's without the premium of having to pay for a PS3 console!!! They're about £100 ($200) more than the X360 which is pretty crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishoM Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 You could always just use headphones with your PC monitor I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Well I sorted it out, ordered myself an XBOX360 Premium (20GB) for £205 and now ordering games, so far I will have: Saints Row Forza Motorsport 2 Crackdown Burnout Revenge And I've just gone and preordered: Alan Wake and of course......GTAIV WOOOOOOO Edition!!!! Well okay just the normal edition but hey. And if anybody else is thinking of getting an XBOX360 to hook up to their PC monitor and speakers.....it only cost me £15, you need an official XBOX360 to VGA (and 2 X RCA) connector - plug the VGA into your monitor, then get a 2XRCA to 1X 3.5mm audio jack cable, and plug it into your speakers/amp....I let y'all know if it works when it all arrives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
