After waiting patiently for about 9 months, then scraping the cash together, and standing in line for 2 hours at midnight in a stupid mall, with a bunch of stupid people around me, I now want to throw my stupid xbox out the stupid window.

This is a technical b&m... a question for you wonderful bungie-heads out there. I have spent way too much money doing this, and want to know what is wrong.

Follow me, please: xbox to tv tuner card in pc via s-video cables. TV tuner card set to video in, and no problem, I have a beautiful opening sequence of Halo 2. Get to the menu screen, what's this? Whenever I press a button, I can count "one-thousand-one" before anything happens. Hmmm...

I go through the setup menus, get to first level, try to walk around... same thing. When I shoot, I hear the sound effects instantaneously... but no actual movement for a second. I know that this isn't part of the bonus features of the special edition. Lag, lag, lag... and not a network, internet or connection lag. I've tried different controllers, in all ports, no luck. I called tech support, no luck. I tried other games, no luck. I yelled curse words at the xbox, no luck.

PLEASE... if anyone has ever encountered similar problems, let me know. I will try re-connecting the xbox to a standard tv, to see if it is a display issue.... which means I have to buy a new tv. So if anyone knows of a way to play xbox games on a pc without this issue, and a decent picture, let me know.
