i am going to boarding school and we are not allowed to have tvs for fire safety/regulation or whatever... i am however allowed to bring my very nice gaming laptop. it does not have an hdmi in, only an out. i want to play xbox after i finish my work to chill out... would it work if i got an hdmi to usb converter. i would hav the hdmi come out the back of my xbox into the converter and then the usb would come out of the converter and into my computer, hopefully showing the xbox display.?.?.?

You would have to purchase a USB capture device which supports HDMI input. My experience with these is that the picture quality is not good and there is lag. Perhaps you could return your gaming laptop and exchange it for one which supports HDMI input.

A computer USB cannot recognise a video signal it only deals with files. It is to do with copyright limitations.
