At least at my local Toys 'r Us at Chapel Hill Mall in Ohio they have the X360 VGA cables for $20 instead of $40.

I would have picked them up had I not already had an off brand set that works perfectly fine.

Is that the official Microsoft version, or an off brand? Also, I currently use my HD TV as my computer monitor thus the VGA output is being used...In order for connectivity does it require a VGA input?
 
I just sold a 360 to my friend and he's looking for these cables but doesnt want to pay $40. We mayhave to take a trip to TRU tomorrow for these. Thanks op!
 
They had both VGA & component microsoft brand cables, as well as, 64mb memory cards for $19.99. This was at the Hamburg, NY store. I grabbed a set of the components for a friend and a memory card for an undecided purpose atm.
 
Yeah this has been discussed in one of the other TRU threads. The component, VGA, and S-Video cables are all on clearance, along with 64MB mem cards. I can confirm the prices reported so far, I've seen them at my TRU in Overland Park, KS.
 
Can confirm in Columbia, MD, but I think I bought the last one. Remotes are also $14.98.

They also had several copies of Final Fantasy XII for $9.98.
 
Yup - got it last weekend in Jersey. Was just visiting Toys R Us after having not entered one since I was a kid. Great place to go for gaming accessories it seems. Got the Official VGA cable for 20 (works amazing compared to a $10 bootleg I got a few months back) and got the Universal 360 remote for 10.

Good luck finding one. Only 2 within 40 miles of here had them listed online, only to get tehre and find out they were mislabeled components.

Please keep the crap comments to yourself.

Crap comments? I went to one and they had 3 MS vga cables just a few days ago, I wasn't even looking for them, just found them by accident.
 
The TRU in Stevenson Ranch, CA has a peg hook with a 19.98 price listed, but they didn't have any in stock when I was there on Wednesday evening.
 
I know I've also seen off-brand VGA cables at Target for about $20, too. Not sure of their quality, but I would think they'd be fine.
 
[quote name='Larrabee213']IS there an advantage of using VGA over HDMI?[/quote]

Only if you have to use it really. HDMI looks better than VGA, but VGA is miles ahead of component(imo)

I switched from component to a knock-off VGA cable and I couldn't be happier. This is also on a 720p, only 37".

I'm planning on upgrading to 1080p after we move, so we shall see how good it is then.
 
I only have one VGA input on my HDTV in which I connect to my PC via VGA. So does that mean I would have to switch back and forth from my PC VGA to the 360 VGA, or do they make adapters of some sort? Please help...

I use a KVM switch on my pc/360/monitor setup ... on mine I double-tap the scroll lock key on the keyboard to switch between the two.
 
Just checked my local TRU today in Vineland/Millville, NJ.

Tagged at $29.99.

They did have the remotes for $14.98, along with some random guides and such.

Anyone know if they'll still ring up at $20?

It really depends by store/area, My local gamestop barely ever gets any xbox 360 accessories... only PS2 stuff I saw today
