Default dual screen xbox

my mate just put 2 sunvisor tv's in his car, he's getting the dvd player next monday, and maybe an xbox. we want to know if its possible to play 1 xbox on 2 tv's without split screen, but still have multiplayer. i dont think its possible, but i thought i might aswell ask anyway.

cheers

I had a quick search and didnt find anything that could please. I dont thyink its possible either. The only way to do it would be to have a video splitter cable but then you would still only have the same image duplicated on each screen.

I dont know if I heard correct, but I think the XBOX 360 has 2 video outs so you can play multiplayer on 2 tv's without split screen. I'm not really sure, just a rumor I heard, but you might want to look into that. Plus isn't the xbox 360 comming out soon? If he's gonna buy a XBOX, might as well wait for the lastest and greatest, its not that far away.

Well, if you consider you buy a Xbox now, you would only have it for about 3.5 months, then BAM!!!!!!!!!! the 360 is on store shelfs. then when you can't sell your outdated xbox cause everybody wants the 360, you'll think to yourself...damn! I should have just waited.

anyways, I just bought my xbox 3 months ago, and I already wish I didn't, and just wait for the 360.

ya, but considering the price an xbox will be, and then consider the price of a 360. the xbox will come down in price, there will only be a certain amount of games on release, which will cost alot anyway.

Thats true....but for the dual screen option, I would think it would be a good idea for this guy. plus he proably got the money, he just installed multiple LCD screens in his car and that aint cheap(i think).
