Well, I don't know which capture card is good or not. It also depends if you want to record in HD. The HD versions do cost a lot, or at least when I was looking around. Check newegg, and read the reviews, or Google.
I hope they are actually keeping their word, and they are not the ones that hacked the PSN recently, and made it go offline for almost 3 weeks. If the hackers did it to get revenge, I will not be supporting them. However, if they did to somehow let Sony know their security is weak and should upgrade, then I will support them.
I want my PSN back. I want to play SSFIV online, I want to sync my Steam with my PS3 so I can get my PC copy of Portal 2, I want to get some DLC for some of my games.
Hopefully PSN will be back by this upcoming Thursday.
