[gjohnson]

Hi fellas,

I have been and I mean to say for ages Ive been searchin for this kind of product which will allow me to play my PS3 and Xbox 360 on laptop screen. As I often go out to my friend house where we have Bad Company 2 or Modern Warfare 2 night ... where all my friends bring their lcd/led tele or monitors and have awesome weekend ... this is gonna literally save me trouble of carryin my tele around.

I found this on the internet ... It is full HD ... supports upto 60fps, here are the pictures of it. They are sayin that there is no lag unlike blackmagic products or other cards when playin console on your laptop screen.

Ohh btw it video captures as well.

So what do you guys think ... anybody tried this product yet.

Firstly, how much does it cost? Secondly does it have sound lag like the USB ones? Thirdly, do you know if you can get them with other interfaces as well as HDMI?

I've been wanting to get something along these lines for a while so I can use my PS2 on my computer (PCSX2 doesn't run well enough on my computer).

Sorry dude ... This model doesnt come in other format, Im still searchin though ... for PSX and PS2 I use Adaptech Gamebridge with DScaler ... there is no lag ... Like I never had any problem playin NFS: Hot Pursuit 2 (Best NFS ever) or Silent Hill ... I suggest u try DScaler, its workin fine for me.

I tried again with PS3. Best option in DScaler is "Even Scanlines Only". I didnt have any sound Issue.

Here is a complete step-by-step guide here for setup as well as recording.

Hope this helps.

Or you can use ever so famous Virtual Dub ... which is considered best out there for video capuring and playing at the same time.

Awesome. This is an expresscard product which would also need to do on-the-fly compression if wanting to do 1080P images at 60Hz. Means the eGPU people have a solution to pipe the image back to their notebook screen at full FPS.

Too expensive at US$170-200

Only problem is it costs US$170-200 according to alibaba.

Amazing Nando, that will be great, I was checkin other HD Capture devices usin expresscard rangin from $500.00 to $1000.00+ ... this seems to be the cheapest option available. But I havent bought it yet and waitin for reviews. It is available on ebay though for US$ 184.93. Here's the link for it.

ASUS G73/G74 doesn't have an expresscard slot so it won't work. I'm not sure which gaming notebooks still have them. Business notebooks like a 15.6" Lenovo W520 and the pricey 17" HP 8760W have expresscard slots.

Perhaps consider an Business notebook + eGPU solution instead for gaming, swapping in/out the expresscard as needed? See details in sig if interested.

My MSI GX660R has an Expresscard Slot.

The follow up models (GT683R, GT780R, etcetera) seem to have done away with them, which seems a shame.
