Although cheaper alternatives such as standalone units as well as dedicated capture cards can be found, few devices offer the quality and simplicity of the HD PVR Gaming Edition recorder.
"If you are a hardcore or casual gamer on Xbox 360 then there are several accessories you must-have! This article will list 5 of my favorite accessories for Xbox 360 that you must get today. It will not only make your life easier but also make you a better gamer. Why does it make you a better gamer? Well because you are spending MORE TIME in the game instead of messing with trivial crap around you." -Amanda Dyar
Pretty good list except for the headphones. I would have recommended wireless headphones instead of wired.
First this list just has accessories it has nothing that can make you better at gaming the only thing that will make a person better is playing the actual game second is you had those headphones you wouldn't mind the cables trust me
I've got most of those- HD PVR, Turtle Beach X31s and rechargeable batteries.
The chat pad needs a mention: really handy and with internet explorer on the way, it'll be brilliant.
People waste way too much money on those headsets...I feel like they dont realize how much more awesome it is to have a decent sound system.
I'd say the number one thing Xbox owners need to own is a PS3--that way they can make up for the long droughts of non-exclusive games and avoid the dreaded Kinect games M$ keeps shoving down their throats. Plus PSN is free to go online, so it saves A TON on internet fee's.
Wait... I need an Energizer battery charge kit AND also Nyko battery packs? No... I think you are confused here... please revise...
I have none of this stuff for my 360 but I have media remote and the energizer charging stand for my ps3. I also pretty much agree in entirety with these, except if you were a more casual gamer then you wouldn't really need the HD gameplay recorder.
I would say the wireless steering wheel Microsoft created is a must-own, as well. It's a great cheap alternative to a full steering wheel.
Dude the black pretzel thing? That blew ass, I would have much rather had a full size one (and not one like the old white one from like 2007)
i agree, the MS wheel that came with FORZA 4 was pretty awesome and made it easy to use a wheel in racing games for everyone that doesn't have the space to setup a full wheel set. and it was pretty accurate.
Agreed. That black piece of plastic is no different than holding a shoe box in ur hands and pretending its a steering wheel. Ya? What we all want is a wheel with no force feedback. Try again. Wireless wheel = major fail.
to each their own.. because you know, those thumb sticks have so much force feedback..
i wonder why you have 2 bubbles.. i guess we will never know
LOL. Like I care? I'm an adult. I have real life issues to worry about. Not my bubbles on a website..LOL @ what you find important.
Original Gamer - Like its competitor AverMedia, Hauppauge is tweaking one of their most popular capture devices to make it ideal for gamers that want to record and stream their games. With the 1445 HD PVR Gaming Edition PVR, Hauppauge is looking to be the premiere device for the gamer that wants to show the world the games they play.
Is is that squatty looking in real life?
HDMI input could have been nice.
Good review.
You can't capture DS or 3DS though, right?
Do that many people really need to record gameplay?
