Playing xbox 360 through mb/mbp screen?

[Wallace86]

is there any software that allows you to do this, such as those things that let you turn your computer into a tv or something?

I'm sure I read somewhere you must stick a Zune into any orifice in the XBox, and then wirelessly connect to a MBA...

Sorry, couldn't resist...

I do not believe this is possible, otherwise I'm sure it'd be widely publicised.

Yes it is possible. You need a TV tuner/video input card.

Something like http://ati.amd.com/products/tvwonder650/usbmac/index.html

yea, i know i've seen simular things for pc which allow you to play and record your console games....although i don't think it would be in HD (at least on the mac one) since it has only an anaolog cable

using a tv tuner or any other kind of plugin for gaming, it will be useless and unplayable from the lag.

One of the editors of a blog I read gave a good review to the eyeTV products. The specific one he reviewed was, I believe, the Hybrid. I've heard lots of good things about them, you might want to check it out.

the hybrid works great with a 360, but you only get composite video. No high def.

no high def rules that idea out then. if it was, i would be tempted to get the 17" hd mbp and get rid of my 40" hdtv, lol.

yeah, as long as you get a tv tuner with "game mode" to eiminate lag, but yeah, i don;t think any of them can do that with an hd signal yet, you;d get some lag and its going to look like garbage in sd. I'm running one on my 22" at 1680x1050 and I ahve to run it at 1280x1024 widescreen mode thought the vga adapter, and it looks even a little fuzzy at that rez.
