Is it possible to buy an HDMI to HDMI cable and connect one side to your Xbox and the other to Macbook Pro? Why or why not this work?

Firstly, what would you hope to achieve? Secondly, the GPU in the xbox would never be able to drive that many pixels.

They're both output-only ports, so no.

Because they are both outputs only.
If you buy a converter, you could get it to work.
I got mine for around 10 bucks on amazon.
But after a while I just bought a gaming monitor so didnt really need it.

I'd cut my fingers off before I tried to play a console game on a 13/15inch screen. That must be impossible.

you could try with hdmi to mDP female adapter then a thunderbolt cable

otherwise hdmi in the rmbp is output only, not input as well like in the m17x or m18x

Seriously? How lame!

I'd stab myself in the eye with a spork!

trust me, I have tried. I think I've started a couple threads on this looking for a way and I cannot find a decent way to do it no matter what I try. So far the only thing I've heard of is one of those expensive game capture cards but they have so much latency that you can't play. You're better off getting an emulator or buying a display for the xbox, its not going to play nice with the rMBP. so sorry
