You want that. It plugs into the regular AV output and plugs into a VGA connector on your monitor. It supports 640x480, 800x600, 1280x720, 1280x768, 1280x1024, 1366x768, and 1920x1080 resolutions. One thing to note is that the picture from DVDs will not stretch to fit a widescreen resolution for some reason. There may be a way around that; it doesn't bug me too much so I haven't really bothered looking.

For your second part - online play.

Yes you can play online that way, but you will still need an active internet connection connected to your 'box'.

When using the HD-DVD drive the 360 will upscale to 1080p over VGA connections.

Good, lots of great info. Now to find a good price on an xbox 360.

Beware of the used market. Many of them are first-gen models that were traded up for Elites.
