I would ideally like to get the best sound and video quality, like HD, but depending on costs and whats available i dont mind not going the full blown HD route.

I cant tell you what it would cost in the UK, or when it will available.

The Blackmagic Intensity Extreme could work for capturing video games from an XBox 360, but not an HDMI protected source, like a DVD player or Blu-Ray player, or PS3.

It has HDMI in and out, so you would need 2 HDMI cables, one for the XBox 360 (HDMI in) and one for the TV (HDMI out).

It also requires a Thunderbolt port on the Mac side and a Thunderbolt cable.

The Blackmagic Intensity Extreme may not be a practical choice for you because it provides uncompressed ouput, and relies on software for encoding.

Software encoding HD video on the fly to a highly compressed codec (for example, codecs compatible with MOV) during capture would place a great burden on the CPU, and Im not sure that even your i7 Mac can handle it.

Capturing lightly compressed or uncompressed HD video requires a RAID array.

The more practical choice may be an analog component video solution, the Hauppauge HD PVR USB device, which does hardware H.264 encoding.

It works for OSX using third-party software.

You would need USB cable, an XBox 360 component cable, and a component cable for the TV, also two audio cables, one for the TV and one for the XBox 360, either optical SPDIF or analog stereo.

Im not sure why one of the pictures you saw shows green LEDs.

EditIt records up to 1080i and 5.1 audio (via optical SPDIF).

It is a proven and very popular HD game capture device in the PC community.

You will need to do some research to see what the Mac community says about the device and its software for video game capture.

There are only a handful of choices for HD capture devices on the PC side, and even fewer on the Mac side.
