It's an entirely different beast to the Blackmagic Intensity Pro we recommended in our pre-Christmas gameplay capture feature. Let's get one thing straight right from the off: Game Capture HD's pitch is all about convenience rather than pristine quality video.

Enter the Avermedia Game Capture HD - an all-in-one "plug and play" device that records video from any current generation console directly onto hard drive or even a USB stick. Capturing high definition video typically requires a moderately powerful PC, a bespoke capture card and a hard drive big enough and fast enough to deal with multi-gigabyte files that can account for just a few minutes of footage: fine for the technologically literate with cash to spare, but not so easy for those simply looking for a way to easily and cheaply record some HD action from their games machines.
