    I have cables that hook my 360 up to DVI input. I used to use them with my old monitor. Is there anyway to use them with my G51 and use it's screen to play 360 on?

    Not that way. You would need an tv/av expresscard or something in the usb flavor. The DVI on the laptop is output only.

    That's most likely output only as well

    I have been trying various devices to do this and the best thing you can get is one of those "copy dvds to your computer" devices that plugs into the USB port. The downside is that is only composite or S-video so it will look like crap. You'd be better off buying 360 games that are also on PC and using a wired controller.
