I was hoping that there was a cable that I could buy that would do this for me, i am feeling lazy and don't want to do a bunch of soldering etc.

The Xbox does not output VGA signals.  As a lazy person, your best option is to buy the High-Definiton A/V pack which provides component outputs, and plug these into an X2VGA2 (www.x2vga.com).  This will give you perfect VGA images, as the X2VGA converts the combined colour/sync signals into a true discreet RGBHV (dedicated Red, Green, Blue, Horizontal Sync, and Vertical Sync) VGA signal.  Total cost here can be as low as $100 when you consider the cost+delivery of the X2VGA and a component output cable for the Xbox.  The added benefit is that you can then forever use the X2VGA to convert any component video signal into VGA, from any device.

Note that there are some other VGA cables you can build that will work with games and the right firmware for the Xbox, but only if you have a version 1.0 model of the Xbox.

it has not been limited to a 1.0 for a long time anything from 1.0-1.5 will work... just get the right bios for the right version

Doesn't specify if it supports Hi-Def.  I personally recommend the VD-Z3, as I have one.  Some games are a bit picky and you have to flip a few switches to get them to come up on the screen, but that's generally those games which do not like going into 480p.

I didn't know that it had to be HD.  Here's another (doesn't specify HD) http://www.nextag.co...ARE-PRICES-html

I would trust this one more than the last (I would bet my life on Monster Cable)

Pay no attention to the previous link.  It is for 360.  My bad
