Hauppauge Colossus or Black Magic Intensity Pro?

[TStrausbaugh3203450]

I am going to be starting a youtube channel soon using gameplay footage that has been captured using a capture card. The two best capture cards on the market are the Hauppauge Colossus and Black Magic Intensity Pro. I will be recording footage from an Xbox 360 and also capture computer content by taking the monitor connection on the back of my computer and spitting it, running one hdmi to my monitor and the other to the capture card. Both are good. But which one do i get?

Black Magic Intensity Pro. Or even the regular HD PVR.

Black Magic, but be aware that the software is a pain to set up correctly, and is somewhat quirky. Once you get it running it runs like a champ though.
