AboutJoseph Expertise I can answer any and all questions regarding any console games made including both older and modern generations (From the Atari 2600 to the Wii) as well as PC Games (both new and old). I'm familiar also with the technical aspect of console gaming systems. I can offer tips and tricks for most any game from finding a secret item to how to get through those stressful boss fights (aka - strategies), as well as recommendations for new and upcoming games. I can't answer questions about how to mod systems (since it voids your warranties anyway) and how to hack video games using your console.
Experience I've worked 2 years at an EB Games as a part time job through college. I've also been playing and collecting video games since I was 6 years old. I've owned all video game systems (new and old!).
Education/Credentials I've had some computer programming experience in my way to become a Computer Engineer.
Awards and Honors I've won many local video game tournaments through games such as Halo, Halo 2, Counterstrike, World of Warcraft (PvP tournaments), and most popular RTS games.

ANSWER: The VGA should brodcast in HD but you may need to play with some settings on your xbox. You're able to pick resolutions and such under the xbox settings menu. Try changing the settings and see if that helps.

QUESTION: hi yes i did do that but it says i can only get hd with a componet cable.
Answer Then you need to check the resolution with your monitor. It may have a refresh rate or a resolution that's not compatible with the 360. Overall, the picture will be better than standard definition on a flatscreen monitor, but not all of them have resolutions in the "HD" category, and some have some odd resolutions that might not work.
