I know you can do this too, it is one of the reasons I bought my m17x r3 (older version of the Alienware 17). I have my xbox 360 sitting right next to me as I type this.
The concern hear seems to be that the system is not recognizing the connection. I would recommend you to install all the latest drivers and bios (always good to do), and also test the xbox and hdmi cord on another setup, like a TV, to make sure it is working right.
I would also test another hdmi, if you have one. Such as a cable box, roku player, tablet display, other gaming system, DVD players, etc.
Let me know what happens :)
