Kushan Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) Anyone know the cheapest place to pick up an official Microsoft Xbox 360 VGA AV Cable in the UK?I found one on GAME, http://www.game.co.uk/Xbox360/Hardware/Acc.../?s=VGA%20Cable - is that the cheapest i'm going to get it? Thanks. Just so you know, some "cheap" VGA cables can have terrible ghosting and stuff, but I can confirm that Game's own brand VGA cable is high quality and wont have that issue.

Pheee Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I bought my live 12+1 from Jasper site, payed by google checkout, need to check the final total, but is cheaper than using paypal. Code came through within a few hours, no problems.

On a similar note, if your monitor has DVI and your xbox has HDMI Woolworths sell an HDMI->DVI cable for ?1>. Buying one is actually the highlight of my year - bargain!

Ah is that the annoying auto re-new? That ****ed me off. Kept taking ?5 until I could afford ?27 for 12 month card. Anyway, 3 month codes go for ?15 usually so why not (if you can) buy a 12+1 month code for ?27?
