You can buy the VGA cable kit that Microsoft/other 3rd parties make

Any highstreet shops that stock the Xbox 360 should sell them, though you'd probably get a better deal online

Go for the official MS cable, it's reckonned to give a better picture.

Price difference between the official and unofficial?

If you have the HDMI output on your XBox you can use an HDMI to DVI connector. They cost about £3 delivered and the quality is perfect as they're digital.

Not much point spending £300 on a HD console and then having a rubbish picture for the sake of the £10 you save buying a cheap cable. We can't give you clues btw since that's also against the rules, since OcUK sell 360 accessories. It's not difficult to find places selling them though, whether that's locally or online.
