    So im assuming the HDMI port on the gx640 is output only. But does anyone know any other possible solutions to displaying realtime video on the laptops LCD? Im on a limited budget and being able to say use my 360 on my soon to purchase 640 would be something i could see my self using.

    I think what you're looking for is an HDMI capture card. Blackmagic is a popular choice for desktops but as far as I know, they don't make one for laptops. Matrox has some equipments that can be hooked up to MacBooks, but it might be cheaper to buy an LCD TV.

    Cheaper to buy a small lcd monitor for your xbox 360. dont bother connecting it to your laptops screen.
