The device has a smaller form factor than its predecessor, and looks just like the HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition – using an hourglass figure with a green light that runs all the way around the unit, with the device itself being black. One of my biggest complaints with past models was the need to go buy a 3rd party app for use with a Mac, but this time around, Hauppauge included a free copy of HDPVRCapture, which was the software of choice for me. Included in the box is a power supply, a 9-ft USB cable, a 6-foot HDMI cable, the necessary PS3 AV cable (PS3 won’t work with HDMI), the A/V component adapter the install guide and the install CD. We’ve already reviewed the HD PVR 2 Model 1512, which is aimed at those who want to make the most of recording and editing HDTV content, but the HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition Plus, obviously is marketed towards the gamer who wants to get their best gameplay footage online. Hauppauge continues to one-up themselves when it comes to personal video recorders, and the latest round of updated models do just that.
