Hauppage Colossus HD PVR is the best for recording HD videos from gaming consoles.

Do you still recommend Blackmagic products?

My old Hauppauge 1212 HD-PVR still records from xbox 360 just fine. Don't plan to replace it.

Any newer capture cards?

I use Blackmagic Design Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt and it is awesome. And I still have an amazing game recording solution that I used in the past - Elgato Game Capture HD.

I was lured by the Pinnacle's sleezy marketing. But it appeared that Pinnacle Studio MovieBox HD doesn't support HD recording. Its software upscaling to HD is just lame marketing.
