    Wow, that's pretty nice. I watched it in high quality which made it look even better. It wasn't fuzzy/pixely at all.

    The text was pixely, but the quality was alright. I need a cap card that works with Vista.

    If you actually want one for your money, don't get a Pinnacle. To my knowledge(And I'm 95% sure) none of them record in High Def. If you have a high def TV then you will need to play on Standard Definition, then get an S-Video plug for your Xbox if you actually want decent quality. And if your TV doesn't have enough Outputs you will need to buy a large splitter, usually around $50(That's if you actually want the S-Video). I would recommend a Hava Platinum HD if you want your money's worth. They're $150 but usually go on Ebay for about $100. All's you'll need to buy is two Y Splitters with double male, one female.
    Of course, if your TV isn't high def then Pinnacle would give you your money's worth. I've heard good things about the Dazzle Plus. I would still recommend an S-Video though. It's basically an earlier form of High Def, I guess. It replaces your Xbox's current RCA wires and adds on an S-Video plug.

    EDIT: Here's a link to a video using the Platinum CoD5 Test
    Don't forget to watch in High Quality!

    I don't have HD. I was looking for something in the 50-75 range, though I may end up buying this if I can't find anything decent. Where do you get it? Newegg?
