Its okay for recording gameplay but lasts for about year then quality drops, i have a test video of it on my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cM-w-1L0J-I

Depends. If you're going to be recording things in SD (NES, SNES, PS1/2, Xbox, Wii etc) it's a good little device, though quality wise it does have some interlacing issues at time. If you want to record in HD (PS3/4, Xbox 360/One, Wii U) this isn't a great choice, as it's max resolution is 480p. If you're looking for high definition capture your best bet is to get either the Roxio, AverMedia, or Elgato, but they aren't cheap ($100+).

I use it mainly for importing VHS tapes fit video editing (it works great for that), so i have not tried it on any Hi-Def applications.

I have personally had no complaints at all about the mic quality. Granted, I have not used too many mics in my day, but I can say for absolutely certain that its quality is better than both built-in mics on either of my laptops. None of my friends have ever complained about the quality of my voice while voice chatting during gaming. That said, it's not comparable to much more expensive mics, but I feel it does the basic job of a headset mic, such as for gaming, excellently.

I found it pretty fast. I've used it at Jet games, and it was more than adequate. I suggest you purchase a fast memory card.

This is exactly what i did with these and it works great. it's open but it takes allot of noise to interfere with the mic. (i can eat crunchy foods without it picking it up) A thing to note on mounting the mic tho. make sure you wipe down the mesh with the included alcohol wipe and hold the sticky pad on there firmly for a good 5 minutes to make sure the adhesive bonds to it and then let it harden for ~15-20 min before using it. the mesh can be tricky the first time but i have never had any problems with it. all in all, it's the best mic & headset combo i have owned so far and i have spend at least 1k $ on random "gaming" headsets including assorted steel series, creative, logitech, and astro headsets. hope this helps :)

No its a piece of garbage, u get what u pay for. I connected to laptop, I recorded my voice but it still has poor quality. Don't waste your money.

While I can't speak for this card specifically I can vouch for the fact that your theory works. I've done as much with most basic capture cards. Just make sure that you have multiple video outputs on your graphics card and connect one to your monitor and loop back to the capture device through a second output. The card should appear in your recording software as a capture device and I've used it to record full screen video, capture PC game play and once even live-streamed my PC desktop to a website.

I use it for gaming and commentary and it's great if you are recording, or if you have other people making noises around you because it cancels it out and only records you however this mic is very low. That is a common complaint about it, no matter how many settings I try to adjust, there's no way to increase the volume any more. I have a hard time talking in game, and everyone says my mic is too low. I gave it to my boyfriend who now uses it to record his songs, and play acoustic guitar. For this purpose it works flawlessly with great sound. I recommend the Blue yeti for gaming and commentaries, my gamer friend swapped from the snowball to this, and I plan on doing so too.

Yes this is quality product for streaming and recording the only thing I would add would be a video card for gaming graphics which for playing games you always should

Is there any issue with using this web cam and the built-in microphone on my laptop? Hope not, it sounds like this is a suprisingly good product.

Yes it does record gameplay but as far as I know it doesnt record your voice if you were planning on doing a live commentary. You should find a voice recording software ( I recommend audacity) you just record what you want to say while your watching the video that you recorded then you drag and drop the audio track into your video editing software.

Hi.sorry.I do not play computer games. Video quality wise I can say that sometimes it "hangs" on hd YouTube videos,sometimes it's ok.I'm not if it's video or network card problem. Overall I would say it's 4/5 device for the price.

Highly recommended! Check out my video with this recorder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOQtKBXE3Rk&feature;=youtube_gdata_player

In my ooinion the microphone works good. For the budget buyer it works great. Use an audio software like audacity to record and tweak and sound problems (which I haven't ran I to) and you got yourself a good microphone.

Hi Ben. I was asked to answer this question by the people at Amazon. I have not tried to use this product for the application you have asked about, but, as long as you can plug the product in to the device, I don't see why you couldn't record Nintendo Gamecube gameplay. This product works amazingly well when I use it in conjunction with my VCR and I have had no issues with it. Hope it works as well for you!

Sorry to say I haven't used mine much BUT, it does work. It will record your voice just fine. When you load MP3s it will also remove the voice track, but because it's blended in, you lose some of the music track as well. But, to just straight record your voice, it works fine. It has 2 external mic's but I would use a plug in. You have to be kinda close to the onboard mic's.I have used the GB10 guitar version extensively and that thing kicks butt so I would imagine this is no different. I have just used it in a very limited way.

I use it for Dragon dictation. The mic is great for that purpose, but it's sensitive to external sound sources so I'm not sure it would work with speakers your playing game audio. If you do try it, play around with volume settings to get it right as sometimes too high or low volume affects recognition of commands.

It works great! Try to sit as close as possible bc it does pick up a lot of background noise like papers shuffling. But even with that the clarity was great and I was happy with my purchase esp for the price. Side note. I would write down the time of the recording every 15 mins or so that way I can skip ahead to the time of where my notes were so I didn't have to listen or try to find where I wanted to review! Good luck!
