How can I connect my x-box 360 to my macbook?

I have found this EyeTV Hybrid Features

...but its a little bit pricey. Anthing else???

Sure. But it will be SD, not HD, and there will be a small amount of lag. It will work though, I used to have one hooked up to my 24" iMac.

I can't recommend the EyeTV interfaces for gaming. I have one and tried using it with my 360 but the image quality was noticeably degraded and the lag was an issue (even with Game Mode, which is supposed to eliminate the lag, turned on). I ended up just using a KVM switch for my purposes at the time, but of course that isn't an option for you with a macbook.

Yeah, but you didn't have the Elgato Tv HYBRID. The hybrid is ALMOST lag free. Almost. The image quality is pretty bad though.

That's true, but from what I had read at the time I didn't think there was much, if any, difference in lag between the different EyeTV units. I could be wrong, though.
