I am wondering if anyone has actually accomplished this...

I want to connect my xbox 360 to my Imac.

Has anyone actually done this... if so any pics of setup?

Thanks :)

Yes...it can be done if you buy an Elgato device to control inputs.

You must have a really small TV.

Here's (http://www.flickr.com/photos/leonard_shelby/501484090/) a Wii running on an iMac. Close enough? ;)

You can connect it with an external tuner, but it will not be high definition and you will have to use Composite or S-Video connections.

I played my 360 through my EyeTV, but it was connected to a Mac Pro. (with the 23" ACD). It seemed like the quality of the picture wasn't quite as good as running it to a regular TV, but I got used to it after a while.

Not to nitpick, but that looks like a wallpaper, not the game actually being played. Maybe that's how the software works, I don't know. Just chiming in to pass the time. Carry on.

If your referring to my picture, yes that was just a photoshop of what I want to do. I havent seen evidence of the xbox 360 on a imac yet wondering how to set it up.
