You should get an
Elgato Game Capture HD Much smaller than Happauge less wires Records 1080p , 720p and it has a feature Happauge doesnt have which is the , Rollback feature, even when not recording it will record for you so you will never miss good footage .

Happauge. They are about $175-$200. They include everything you need except a component cable, and setp takes 5-10 minutes tops. You can't play with HDMI, though.

Nothing beats a happauge (think thats how u spell it :p) for the price. I got the gaming edition and love it. People will try and tell u to get a roxio, but you can tell the difference, I say happauge all the way :y:

I'd recommend the Elgato gamecapture HD. I have the Hauppauge, and the Elgato is alot better.

- HDMI.
- Same if not better quality.
- Better software.

But i heard the PVRs that use HDMI have a lower bitrate?

I have a hauppage and it's never let me down (except for the price tag) Gaspkay:. If you're actually serious about recording your gameplay I recommend it.
