So, im getting 30 bucks from my brother today, and since i have a 1 month im currently playing on, I don't feel like buying a 3 month just yet for Panda. I'm gonna buy a cord so I can play on my monitor :D

I have the xbox arcade, and i was wondering if i just bought a regular HDMI cord, would it work?

WARNING: I'm not very tech-savvy.

You dont need an expensive HDMI cable. Any ol HDMI cable will work. I got mine for like 8$ on newegg.com. You should also check monoprice.com.

Edit: this is the one I have. A Rosewill 6ft. cable. You can get it for $2.99 + free shipping.

that will work. but also note that its only 3ft long.

my xbox will be setting right next to my monitor, so actually the shorter the length, the better. I hate wires.
