    You will need to buy the Xbox 360 VGA HD cable and a DVI Male to VGA female adapter.

    No the only Xbox cables are Component & VGA and come the 24th there will be HDMI aswell.

    Its important to note that currently all xbox 360's have analog out only ,

    DVI on the other hand , can carry both digital and analog depending on the type , and you need to find out if said monitor is of the type that will take an analog signal , it may not !

    There are DVI I connectors , DVI-A connectors , and DVI D connectors , if the monitor only has a DVI-D connector , ( like mine ) then your out of luck because that type wont take an analog signal.
