    Soon hopefully I will be buying a 360 and I have a few questions.
    1. Does xbox live use up much bandwidth if you just play games online for a few hours a week?
    2. I want to connect the 360 up to my pc monitor so it will be near my broadband modem. I have read about the VGA cable. These are my monitor specs
    Will it work?
    Thanks.

    Doesn't take up too much bandwidth, you should be grand... as for the monitor you should be able to connect it with vga, I couldn't see what types on inputs it has!

    Link doesn't work.

    The Video in cable on my monitor is attached on to the monitor. It will not come out.
    If I buy this and connect both my monitor and the vga cable into it, will it work?

    Oh and is Gamestop doing the bundle with the premium console, extra controller and PGR3?
    Thanks.

    Everyone should be, it's a bundle from Microsoft and not a particular retailer, so I would imagine they are, I've seen it in all the other stores I've been in recently anyway.
