you can by the 360 vga cable around a tenner in currys 20 quid game and that should hook up no problem to your laptop long as its got the standerd moniter connection .

No it won't.

The VGA port on his laptop is for displaying OUTPUT video, ie connecting the Laptop to an external monitor, it doesn't accept incoming VGA.

only other solution is usb s-video card .

In that case he may as well just hook it up to a TV. I think the OPs point was that he wanted to use his laptops screen because it is HD.
