Hi I am thinking about getting a mac pro and thunderbolt desplay (if the 2011-2012 model is thunderbolt enabled) and was wondering would you be able to connect a Xbox 360 to the thunderbolt desplay whilst the desplay is connected to a mac pro ( think I might need a HDMI adapter to connect it to the thunderbolt port if one exists) as well as this how many thundebolt ports does th desplay come with? Thanks for feedback

The short answer is yes. You would need a dual link adaptor (1 thunderbolt to 2 hdmi). You would have to either buy yet another adaptor to turn the HDMI into a thunderbolt but i would recommend just using the hdmi port on the Mac Pro. The thunderbolt display has 3 usb, 1, FireWire 800, 1 thunderbolt and 1 gigabit ethernet port on it. Hope this helps.

Thanks so what you are saying is to plug the console into the mac pro's HDMI port but how would I launch the Xbox 360 would it appear on the dock on the mac pro or in its version of the windows start menu.
No, sorry I was not very clear. What I meant was to get the dual link adaptor plug the thunderbolt end into the display, one hdmi into the XBOX and the other HDMI into a second adaptor that is HDMI to ThunderBolt. Plug the second adaptor into the Mac Pro. Sorry I was not very clear.
