I have a PC, and I have an Xbox 360, but I have no technical means (AFAIK)
to record the image that the latter produces in any way so that I can get
it into the former. (It would be fantastic if I could, because it would
allow me to eg. demonstrate glitches or tricks in games, do some kind of
let's play videos, etc.)
I was wondering what could possibly be the cheapest way I could achieve
this. What would be the minimum amount of hardware purchases that I would
need. Any ideas?

I've never seen a Xbox in the flesh so this is a guess.
Since the Xbox outputs a A/V signal, I wonder if you could use a PC A/V
input card to bring it into your PC.

Depend on the actual model.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360
reported to output 480i/576i on Composite & S-Video
so a recording on VHS could be possible. (via Scart connector, avoiding
RGB for that purpose) (yes, tape... so XXth Century..)
Next acquiring the movie in the PC can be done offline.
(because you cannot assert your harddisk will not drop *THE* interesting
frame on a 50 minutes live capture of your perfect play: video tape won't)
But if the connection is HDMI, you might just be stuck.

I do not own a VHS nor a TV card (not for a long time anyway).
The Xbox 360 can output composite and S-Video out-of-the-box, and it can
output VGA using a separate cable (which I own) as well as DVI (using yet
another separate cable I don't own) and HDMI (using a HDMI cable, which
I don't own either).
Nothing in my current PC can *read* any of that.

You could buy an A/V card, they are not dear.

The second link I provided strongly protest against such A/V card.

I was going to suggest a PVR but since they are not cheap I didn’t.
And the young man on the video had just a whiff of religious fervour
about him. Not easy for me to watch.
Also I don’t think all that hard technical stuff he talked about is
beyond Warp. ;-)

I wanted to do this to record a sample of my own game I'd written, but
nobody wants to sell you an HDMI recorder for less than thousands of
dollars. I suspect it's more a licensing thing than a technology thing,
because obviously you can get an entire camera that will record HDMI as long
as it's off the lens.
That said, there are a lot of videos on youtube demonstrating glitches and
such that were obviously recorded with a camera pointing at a screen.
