DEAL OR NO DEAL?

Canada Computers currently has it on sale for $139.99
I can trade in 2 games for a $60 gift card from Future Shop
I can price match the PVR +10% of price difference with Future Shop ($169.99)

139.99 - 3 - 60 = $95 (After tax)

THOUGHTS?

Isn't the HD PVR a little 'outdated' in the recording world? I thought the black magic or something is the newest/best in recording gameplays right now.

Then again the PVR does a great job if you just want something to record. And if you get all the needed cables and such for 95$ it does sound like quite a good deal. I'd probably pick one up for that.

Yeah but will it blend ?

It's essentially the same thing as BM:Intensity, the differences being Hauppauge has a HDMI passthrough, whereas BM has component to HDMI conversion (for Xbox of course, PS3's HDCP is pretty dumb). However, BM's model comes with a USB 3.0 port; so the only thing that worries me is that the Hauppauge will bottleneck itself with USB 2.0. The record button is a nice feature though, and yes it will blend

If anything, I can resell this on Kijiji and make a profit

Doesn't the BM record in 1080p max where the PVR is 720p max?

Not sure, both say 1080p, probably gonna record in 720 for speed and size anyways

That YouuTubeee Monaaayyy

I got it yesterday, I'm just trying to find the best Vegas settings for it, but damn this fucking 1MB/S Canadian internet upload speed.

Edit:
Here's the result

Rendered @ 30fps, 720p, 8MB bitrate, and it all came up to 47mb, but it still took a painful 10-20 minute upload to Youtube

Doesn't seem like a bad deal!
