Just type in your account credentials and press the stream button for your preferred service and you're good to go. The HD60 is compatible with all three of the major video streaming platforms: Twitch, Ustream, and (much rarer for live streams than recorded video) YouTube. Elgato does not specify how long the software automatically captures footage before dropping off, but I found it can handle at least an hour of buffered video. The program buffers video fed through the HD60 even if you don't tell it to record, letting you grab anything you might have missed by sliding back the time in the window and clicking the Record button. The software has a useful feature called Flashback Recording, which lets you retroactively record any awesome headshots or game-winning jump shot that you may have missed because you didn't manually tell the program to capture it. You can overlay a webcam feed on your video for facecam playthroughs of scary games, and record narration as optionally separate audio tracks by plugging a microphone into the HD60 and enabling it in the program.

The Game Capture HD60 ($149.99 at Amazon) measures 4.4 by 3 by 0.75 inches (HWD) and weighs only 3.7 ounces, making it easy to pocket when not in use. Still, it's worthy of our Editors' Choice award. Its lack of legacy connections limits its support for older systems, however. But its capture and streaming power make it a compelling device for dedicated streamers and Let's Players. It's pricey compared with the AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable ($149.99 at Amazon) and Game Capture HD II ($149.99 at Amazon), and it doesn't offer handy standalone recording capabilities like they do. With the explosion in popularity of YouTube Let's Play and Twitch livestreams, and the graphics boasted by the current generation of game systems, finding the best recording device is crucial.
