Pros & Cons
Pros
Physical record button actually works, and triggers the software's record button. Software overall is really easy to navigate around, for the main recording purposes you only really need to use the 'capture' &'settings' tab.
Size and styling of the unit is pleasing and fits in well with my decor. Multi-colored illumination band gives no doubt of the status of the device. In my opinion looks cooler, especially when the led lights up.
Elgato:+ sleek looking, very lightweight and portable. Easy to follow interface with many nice to have features. Pretty impressed by the easy functionality and the whole kit s ofar.
The hd pvr 2 model 1504 includes all the cables you need to start recording game play from your xbox 360, ps3 or even pc. Cables aren't too long (great for people who love less clutter) the manual states that 1 hdmi cable is included, however after co... Read More
Cons
Software program is glitchy at best. The mac program doesn't support streaming to twitch. It stops recording mid-session and my footage often comes out with delayed audio if i record for more than 30 minutes.
The unit contains a splitter inside of it. When passthrough is initiated, it splits the signal to the recording portion of the device.
This miserable paperweight does not work as intended. The only porting for heat to escape is through the bottom. It starts outputting green static, as is, a snowstorm of green across any screen it is connected to.
Highlights
Quality
It records in great quality and it allows you to overlay your voice automatically

Requires separate purchase on the nonplus models good thing i wanted surround sound so badly
Price
For the price you can not complain about it it works great
Its priced extremely competitively and this model i got also captures 5
You can tell people its an apple tv and make them think you can actually afford to get such a pointless device
Ive had this for close to a month now and my computer is a midgrade 600 gaming rig from over 3
Shipping
Shipping was fast condition was excellent it does exactly what i need it to do
After contacting the 3rd party software provider i was given the full version in about 1 business days time
After contacting amazon i was refunded but this was still an issue that needed to be brought to light
Packaging/appearance
Came as expected works no unpleasant surprises
Looks awesome and has multicolored led ring to indicate what its doing
First the video signal was buzzing randomly and a semitransparent box popped up with an error message but it went by really fas... Read More
I now reun two cooling fans through the box but the existing box is already toasted
Competitiveness
1 surround sound which all other competitors fail to do
Which in turn meant converting the hdmi signal to component signal using yet another device a converter box

The device works as it should but i probably shouldnt have bought the plus version and save me a couple of bucks because i really dont use the extra features it packs

The device is a lagfree passtrough even when not used which is great because now your pc doesnt have to be on when you wish to play only the device itself must be powered
