I never understood why PS3 can't record through HDMI. Probably some technical stuff involved anyone care to explain why? I kinda wasted $200 buying an elgato gamecapture HD thinking I could record with HDMI on my ps3... turns out I can't -__-

xbox 360 recording seems to be way more convenient and crisp.

I'm guessing that the video output of the ps3 is copy protected.

HDMI :fyea:

This was announced like last month. why only post it now

You are right sir
Only on a Debug PS3 you can record through HDMI choose there you can turn the protection off.
(Not 100% sure but have read it somewhere long time ago)

WTF why is xbox 360 the only console getting 1080p recording? This is 100% bullshit, shouldn't even have included something for PS3, what a rip off! Should be called xbox 360 version too btw.

EDIT: Ps3 can't, nvm then.

Its not Hauppauge's problem that ps3s hdmi recording doesn't work and you have to use component cables.

HDCP protection is why you can't record through HDMI on any device that plays Blu-ray movies. This protection was put into place so people could not make perfect digital copies of blu-ray movies. The reason Xbox has no HDCP protection is because it cannot play blu-rays. That's the bottom line. A digital video signal will always be higher quality (sharpness, audio, etc) than a analog signal even if both are 720p, 1080i, etc. Games have a native resolution, to find it just enable all signal formats on your console (480i/p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p) and whatever your HDTV says the signal is, that is the native resolution. Of course you can force your console to display a game (example: MW3) in 1080i/p by selecting only that resolution on your console, but it not going to make the video quality better. You can't magically add extra video information there that isn't there to begin with and make the image better than what it would be if it was natively that 1080i/p. I see people upload gaming videos on YT all the time with incorrect resolution, like a MW3 video in 1080p. When you do that you are just stretching out the pixels.

i personally wont be getting this im happy with my current gaming edition PVR seems to be doing fine so i dont see a reason to upgrade till this one breaks
