A question for XBOX360 owners

Pumpkinstew · 10-04-2009, 14:11

I'm thinking of getting one in the near future.

The most likely place for me to hook it up is in the study next to my PC, so the TV is still free for my better half to veg in front of desperate housewives, plus it means I don't have to pay silly money for the wrieless doohickey as the router is also close by.

I'm probably going to invest in a larger monitor soon too, so I was thinking if I get a full HD job with VGA/DVI and HDMI connections I could hook up the PC and the XBOX to the same monitor and just switch between the two.

Which is fine for picture but I still need sound. Is there a separate audio output on the back of the 360? Is it a simple 3.5mm jack? I can simply run this to the aux in of my speakers and I'm good to go if this is the case.

Many Thanks
