Re: Xbox play on laptop

no chance with that cable - no idea what that is actually for but its not going to work, analogue video to usb - what the hell !!

The capture card is possible but you need more information - its for recording video clips in low res.

I would expect it to

A - look terrible and be at a low frame rate.
B - possible be displayed in a window and not full screen
C - have some possible lag.
D - possible force you to record while you are playing - filling your harddrive up everytime.

buy a 2nd hand TV, even a old crap one will be better than that - no one uses there laptops for console gaming.
