    My R3 is connected to an external monitor and I'm wondering if it's possible to plug the Xbox 360 into the HDMI in and somehow get the video on the external monitor?

    Why would you do that??? You might as well plug your Xbox to the external monitor.

    I dont think i can ever go back to playing Xbox, exept for exclusives maybe. but the R3 just blows it out of the water. Infact the m11 probably blows it out of the water.
