Could I purchase any cords to do it?

I can't decide on if i want to get an Apple Cinema Display or get another type of screen.
 
It would be a waste to buy an ACD just for a Wii or 360 (you're better off getting another screen)... are you using it with a Mac as well?
 
Realistically, the most viable solution is to connect it via an EyeTV S-video connection. This does mean your computer has to be running but the ACD only has DVI input and while it is technically feasible to connect the HDMI output of the 360 via an HDMI-DVI adapter it is likely that the ACD won't like the 1920x1080 input.

I have sat using my laptop and my EyeTV Hybrid to view my Xbox360, PS2 or Wii and it works OK although it is also only Standard Def.

Do you experience any delays in pressing a button and seeing the reaction on screen?
