Xbox 360 on laptop
Is it at all possible to play an Xbox 360 on a laptop? Just wondering for when I leave for college and can't have a tv in my room.

Does your laptop have AV Cables? No? Didn't think so

You can play an Xbox with an hdmi cable and no av cables... My laptop does have one of those. I was wondering if there was software or something that would allow this to work

Probably, I've played XBox on the tv screen built into my car

On Macs, you can, but you need a software for it. For PCs, I don't know, but it's possible; it is likely that it will require a software.

Hm it doesn't seem possible on a laptop but looks like you can do it on a computer monitor, and that's not against the rules in my dorm!

I've used my LCD monitor alongside my xbox 360, but it has S video cables. Possibly try and find a VGA to S cable adapter at Best Buy possibly?

Could try to find a monitor that has HDMI input. I got a 19in one that I use for my ps3 every once in a while.
