Hi,

In preparation of my (yes it will be mine :)) Xbox 360, and since my current TV cannot handle HD, I'm thinking of plugging it to my laptop (highest resolution of 1440x900).

Do you have any advice of the best capture card to get? USB? Firewire? Component input?

So far I have seen the following:

Any advice?

I've read a few good reviews of this card, I was originaly looking for an RBG Card.

Edit: The only problem is if there is a lag between the input to display times, due to video compression. I ended up with a Hauppage PVR350 with SVHS, but its simply not usable on a console system due to the 2 to 3 second lag :(

Edit2: Looking at the specs of the link you have listed, says its OK for gaming :)

Apparently these below are also lagless solutions:
