Playing Xbox 360 on MacBook

Hello, I was wondering if there was a cable that plugs into the MacBook that have A/V inputs for something like Xbox 360.
Thanks,
Christian

No, but someone made an notebook out of his Xbox 360..

Playing xbox 360 on macbook pro 15 inch retina display with hdmi

Is it possible to be able to plug my xbox360 into my macbook pro 15 inch retina display with the hdmi cable and then play it on my computer because i have an hdmi cable and dont want to go buy the eye tv for another $150 and if it's not possible does anyone know of another way for me to be able to play my xbox360 on it

No. The HDMI port on the MBP-R is an output port used to send images to an external monitor, not an input port.
As far as I know, the only Mac that has ever had a video input capability is the iMac. Some years' models have had the ability to act as a monitor for another computer. I don't have one, but it doesn't look like current iMacs offer this feature (based on a quick skim of the Apple Store pages).

XBOX 360 using MacBook Pro monitor

Is it possible to play XBOX 360 by connecting it to the MacBook Pro? If possible, could someone please tell me how? Thanks

yeah, but how do you get the dvi into your MacBook? Are there DVI capture solutions? I don't follow capture card technology much, but I would be surprised.
I just re- read your post, and I think you just misread his question - for the record, that how i read it the first time too, but, he wants to play this on his MacBook screen, not a cinema display. If he wanted to use it on a cinema display, he could just get the dvi cable for the xbox 360.

Playing Xbox 360 through a MBP ... picture included

Hey, so I've been digging around trying to figure out a way to play my xbox360 through my MBP. I'm in college, so its really nice having a mobile screen, compared to having to lug around a computer monitor or t.v.
Apparently, the most common problem with most devices is that they give some sort of "lag" when playing the game. However, one guy said his layout worked fine, and he provided a picture. Naturally, he didn't specify the details of his setup. Here's the picture he provided though, if that helps anyone.

So what can I do?

Do a search on google, there seems to be a fair amount of stuff which will help you.
I found this article which explains how to hook up a 360 to a mac mini, but the procedure should be pretty much the same for a MBP.

Good luck!

Connecting Xbox 360 to MacBook Pro through various TV tuner cards

If anybody has knowledge about this topic, what would be the best tuner card to use to get my Xbox 360 to display on my MacBook Pro? I'm not too worried about the graphic limitations, but I definitely do not want to encounter any lag. Suggestions?

Hard Wire Xbox 360 to MacBook

My Macbook is connected to my home wireless network via integrated Airport Extreme. Is it possible to transfer that connection to my Xbox 360 by connecting an ethernet cable? If so, what settings should I have to ensure it works? Any help is much appreciated! Cheers:D

Xbox 360 to macbook?

i was wondering if theres a way to use my macbook as a screen to plug my xbox 360 to it will it work?
thanks

No you won't be able to use your Macbook as a screen for your 360. The Macbook only has Video Out, not Video In.

Part of screen lags when playing xbox 360

I recently bought a new 42" LCD 120 hz 1080p Insignia TV from Best Buy and a 4" Rocketfish HDMI Cable to hook my xbox 360 up to it and get a clear picture.
The picture is great but recently I noticed that at the bottom left hand side of the screen there is a lag between the rest of the tv. It takes up probably 1/10th of the picture and it really doesn't effect the game that much but it is very annoying and has been happening more and more frequently.
Any help would be very much appreciated! Is it the HDMI cable, The Insignia TV, or the Xbox 360.
P.S. I use the cable box through the hd components and that does not ever have the lag problem on the corner of the screen

Just how recent is "recently bought"? If it's less than a year, you've got options.

I have the 890l an want change nat settings to so can play xbox 360 how i go about it

help

Let me clarify.
Xbox will work, but you will not be able to host any games since you do not have a public IP Address. NAT forces your IP Address to look the same as everyone on the VZW network, there is no way for your friends to initiate a proper connection to you but you can reach out and play with them just fine. While home routers provide NAT (192.168.x.x) networks, a more traditional service provider will still assign the modem a public IP Address. When you have a public IP then you can configure your router to forward specific traffic onto one device or another making them publicly available on the web. A public IP also means that the port forwarding functionality on your router will be enabled too.
Hopefully you can see that getting a public IP is the main problem here. Until then the features on the devices themselves will be at the mercy of the main VZW firewall policies back at home base. You need to remove yourself from the VZW network entirely if you want to host Xbox and that is where the VPN comes in. VPN will tunnel all of your traffic through an already open port in the VZW firewall and virtually place you on a different providers network (one you hope has public IP and ports available).
You could also pony up $500 for a static and public IP address from VZW, but most don't value that kind of an investment.
If your employees are doing work with the 890L in the field then set them up with a corporate VPN and tunnel them back to your office network where everything is allowed. This is how we operate with our JetPacks and it works just fine.

Completing Xbox 360 Video game Screenshots and Playing

Can someone point in the direction of how I can connect my MacBook to my Xbox 360/Televison in order make screenshots from my Xbox 360 video game playing. I will not be playing Xbox 360 video games on my computer but is there a way to complete screenshots?

I found these two videos and was thinking about getting the Slingbox to accomplish this task; has anyone else done this procedure.
I did download Connect360 but it seems to work only one way; allowing items on my MacBook to be played through the Xbox 360 (but not the reverse).

XBOX 360 on iMac?

Sorry if other people have asked this, but can you play XBOX 360 on an iMac using EyeTV Hybrid? If so, will be able to output HD graphics?

Yes. S-video or composite video only (720x480 NTSC or 720x576 PAL)
If so, will be able to output HD graphics?
No.

Xbox 360 can't get IP Address?

I recently bought an Airport Extreme 802.11n. It works great with my Powerbook. I keep the AEBS on 802.11n/b/g compatibility.
I hadn't played Xbox 360 in a while (with Xbox Live).
I bought Halo3 yesterday.
I turned on the Xbox (Ghost Recon disc was in the tray), and it automatically logged me into Xbox live. I ejected Ghost Recon, popped in Halo3, Halo3 said there was an update. Downloaded the update fine (wirelessly), played some single player mode.
About an hour into the game, it froze. Restarted the Xbox, tried to pick up where I left off. The game never saved. GRRR. Guess that's another topic altogether.
I was so frustrated, I decided to just see what demos were available on Live and play something else.
That's when the problems started. Xbox sees my Airport SSID fine and logs in fine, but fails at the IP Address test.
I rebooted the Airport, the Xbox and my cable modem. Nothing makes it work. I'm stuck. The thing that kills me is that it obviously connected to download the Halo3 update, and this makes me wonder if somehow the update didn't hose the connection.
Any ideas?
Thx.

If anyone else comes across this problem, this is what worked for me...
Unplug the Xbox USB wireless adapter on the back of the Xbox and plug it back in. That's it. I guess it needed some sort of refresh/release/reboot that rebooting the Xbox itself didn't provide.
