    does your tv have a vga connection ???? If not you would have to get some kind of adapter, the end that plugs into the xbox is the standard xbox connection, the big block, like on the cable that came with it.

    Audio is supplied from the red and white cables in the pic you linked to.

    Try hmv, gamestop or xtravision, I know harvey norman had some near me ages ago also, I'd say you are looking at 10-15 quid.

    You could just get a component cable if your tv has a port. Link Check if your tv has Green and blue ports alongside the yellow, red and white ports. Most tv's should have them. Component is HD not to be confused with composite which is SD

    I'd say if the TV has vga go with that , though might depend on TV I found vga was sharper vs component, but component had better colors.

    OP vga looks like this

    Edit : OP on the off chance are you near / close to Drogheda area next few days, might have a vga or component or both lying around if i go looking????

    OP, I would order from here instead. From those pictures, the vga cable on littlewoods seems like its unoffical - and its a huge mistake to go with a cheaply made VGA cable!
