Will an XBOX360 with a VGA cable work with this Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter on a 27" iMac?
The XBOX VGA cable has separate audio, so that's not an issue, but will the video work using this method?

Answer
I have to recant my previous answer. Although Apple does state that you can connect an external source to the 27" iMac, you CANNOT connect a converted video signal to the mini port and expect it to drive the appropriate signals. I tried this with the MiniDisplay-VGA converter and a laptop and it DID NOT WORK. Reading further, I discovered there are converters that can do this, but none for VGA that I could find.
