Alright guys, let me get straight to the point: Basically, I have this old laptop I've been using for a while. It's quite slow, and I don't bother turning it on much, as I usually use my mom's computer. Anyways, my sister was wondering if she could buy it, so we set a price of $300. Of course, she doesn't have the money yet, so it gives me time to think. With the $300, I'm looking at two options. 1) I could raise $100 more and get a nice new desktop, which I'm looking forward to. And 2) Spend $250 immediately, getting an HD PVR to record games in HD. Some pro's and con's about each: (+ and -) New Computer +Give's more computer power +Can run many new programs and games +Will run much faster -I will need to raise more money -I have to wait a while to get the PVR The HD PVR +Can record videos, machinima, level reviews, etc. +I'm in Sackinima (LBP Machinima group), so recording could come in handy +It would be really fun to record my other games too +I would have a bit of money left over from the $300 -I would wait a long time before a new computer -The PVR's software would need a good computer, which I'm not sure mine can handle it. So I ask you, LBPC, to help me make a choice. Me and two friends already flipped some coins, and it was said I would get the PVR. I just want to know what you all think. And I'm not sure if this is in the right place, so mods, feel free to move it, lock it, or whatever you do with these kinds of threads. Thanks!

I would go with the computer. Paying so much just to record in HD wont seem worth it

Go with a computer with HD recording capabilities.

I agree, go with the computer. As nice as an HD recorder might be, I think you'll quickly get tired of using it often, and it probably won't value nearly as well as the computer.

i also agree D: they recorder can only do so much... well >_> it can only really record things... but the computer can do a lot more. i think the computer will keep you way more entertained, and in the long run, it will have been the better buy.

I love my recorder it's like my child I never had D: Lol, but $250 for the recorder?!? I got mine for just over 100. So, you could just get the recorder, do chores and save up, then get the desktop $200 later. (If you find an HD PVR for $100)

Cog, could you suggest me a good quality recorder? I actually thought that the one I saw was overpriced, but I wasn't sure... Thanks for the opinions guys. It's really given me some more thought about this. I'm not sure yet though, and I know how Cog loves his recording
