I need to know how to player with out a hdmi cord so that I can play 2 player with my brother
you must have a HDMI cord hooked up to your TV to play splitscreen.
Yes and a hdmi tv
Use a VGA cord or a VGA to HDMI adaptor connected to the laptop.
If you are talking about watching a video on your computer then by connecting your computer to a television you can play then on this. Depending on your computer: VGA Cord (Depends if your computer has a VGA port) HDMI Cord (Depends if you computer has a HDMI port) These are the most popular ways to connect.
Jak and Daxter because NFS Shift is professional street racing, on racing tracks, if you want a traditional NFS game i'd go with NFS Undercover. Although buy Jak and Daxter first.
Not to play. You can play singleplayer or multiplayer over xbox live no matter your setup. If you would like to connect another controller and play split-screen however, you must be connected via the hdmi cable, which unless you have an adapter to go from hdmi out to rgb/component in, you do need an hdtv with hdmi input.
no
Yes, you can in some cases. If your laptop has an HDMI output, a single HDMI lead is all that you will need. Most laptops with an HDMI output also include sound on the connectors but there are some that don't. If your laptop has a DVI connector, a DVI to HDMI lead will work but note that there is never any sound on a DVI connector. If you need to run sound separately, use an analog audio lead. Most televisions have a separate audio input linked to at least one HDMI input that will provide for a separate audio feed.
you will need to plug in the power while play through hdmi. otherwise it won't work.
