XBOX connected to comp?

Hi could someone in the know please tell me whether the xbox can be connected tp pc, im sure ive read it somewhere. If thisis thecase can other consoles such as the PS3 do the same, possibly allowing you to play games through the pc itself?
Thanks

Ben

    But it can be connected to your PC to share your internet connection for Xbox live

    You can connect an xbox to a pc, but only to use an internet connection, you can't play on the pc. I used to do it to play xbox live.
  • There are two options.
    If you simply want to use your pc monitor to play your xbox through,just buy the VGA cable.it connects directly to your monitor.

    the other option to use your xbox through your pc,only way i know possible is to get a video card with inputs,i.e s video,composite,then connect to the pc that way,and tune your tuner software to the AV/AUX channel.however due to the image working from xbox into the computer,and the computer processing it,there is a bit of a lag,so wouldn't recommend this option.

    Hope this helps
