    connecting things which have a usb connection to a computer or similar system witha usb connection perhaps. Is this a trick question?

    There are bound to be plenty of things that have a usb connection which connect to a PC or similar device. Playstations and the likes no doubt to...

    male - male
    the fact is that I dont quite have devices with usb ports so thats why I was wondering , as the only thing I tried was connecting 2 laptops with it (which gave no results)
    but now if I think could I somehow connect my xbox or ps2 to my laptop & use its screen with this cable ?

    I don't think you can get video over USB, because the main purpose of USB is to transfer data.

    Searched around a bit - some devices (like external drives) use male-male to transfer date.
