xbox -> iMac screen

Hi!
My mac monitor is better than my TV. I was wondering if I can output my
xbox to it. I've seen some TV tuners, but I don't need all that. I just
need a device that connects to firewire or usb that provides video input
connectors (sound as well?) so that I could play xbox on my mac screen,
preferably in HD (composite, dvi, hdmi?). Is there a piece of hardware
available for that?
Thanks a lot!

Many of these devices have a noticeable time delay in the video (and
audio, to keep the sound in sync). This is no problem for watching TV
and video but may make playing video games more challenging.
