Capture Card - Suggestions

[Dusty-09]

Yeah I want to buy a capture card for the PS3 what would you suggest which is cheap but good quality and easy to set up.

Is the dazzle good? Do you need any other wires with it to make it work please help +rep to all suggestions

Hauppauge HD PVR and Black Magic Intensity Pro are the two best capture cards on the market but for a cheaper alternative I'd recommend Dazzle DVC170 or even cheaper an EasyCap.
The first two are HD, the Dazzle is good SD quality and the EasyCap is medium SD quality.

if you want views these days you need real quality get one of the fist 2 paul said. but on the black magic you need a good computer.
