The first cable is HDMI (from XBOX) to DVI (to monitor) cable. You can buy it from local electronic/games/console store. this cable is for graphic ONLY. thats mean you only can get the visual with no sound. this is because normal LCD Monitor didnt come with built-in speaker.
For sounds system, you need Optical/RCA Audio adapter and you need normal audio converter to convert the sounds from XBOX to your PC Speakers. with this converter, you can hook up your PC speakers to XBOX, and wallah! now you get the sounds from your XBOX.
Conclusions:
1) first cable is for converting HDMI ouput from XBOX to DVI input for LCD Monitor.
2) 2nd cable for converting sounds from XBOX to your PC Speakers.
3) Optical/RCA Audio adapter : http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360hdmiavcable/

@genjutsugaara yeah its for any HDMI port though you might want a 7.1 surround sound monitor because i dont think the PS3 has a optical audio out adapter besides 7.1
BTW DVI does NOT carry audio

Hi, i'm getting this cable off amazon and but for others dont buy this at best buy its like 60 bucks when amazon has it for under 4 bucks. i was wondering is this better than using a xbox to vga cable? and i have the sound adapter could i use my regular av cable with the sound adapter and the hdmi to dvi? if that makes sense to you lol thanks.
