yes it is a male to 2 females. You should look into an easycap and the guide I gave you, it has better quality than some dazzles. For those that don't think so, then just look at the video.

actually the easycap is good quality, didnt focus on that one too much

ok im getting easycap lol...im actually getting it for my xbox and yours is on ps3 but that wont make a difference in the settings/quality will it?

this is what i buy to make it work

1.easycap usb 2.0
2.3 splitters (1 male to 2 female) [is this one fine? [ame="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Phono-Female-Sockets-Adapter-Plated/dp/B002JEUUAK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1268520132&sr=8-4"]2 x RCA Female Sockets to 1 x RCA Male Plug Adapter ~: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo[/ame] because there are different colours and dont know if they mean anything and i dont know if gold plated ones are important for the splitters]
3.s-video gold plated cable
4.my xbox rca cable

Well if you are good with making the video quality a bit better go with the easycap. If you dont wanna do any editing with the videos just go with the dazzle they take less video work.

I have an Averhdtv pvr. Cost me 70 bucks, pure perfect HD quality. Here is an example of it.

yeah thats what you need. Indeed gold plated are always best.Don't forget you need an rca cable. If you search on ebay im pretty sure xbox has an S-video cable for it. Your total will be well within your budget.

I say look for an xbox s-video cable so you can get rid of your xb0x cable you have now. Here's a list of what you should look for:

1. 3 male to 2 female splitters, preferably the ones that are gold plated.
2. Composite to composite cable that's the Red, white, yellow on both ends.
3. S-video cable for xbox (check gamestop) or ebay.

and thats it. That is all you need. You can get rid of your xbox rca cable if you get an S-video cable. You will not need it.
