Hauppauge HD PVR2 Gaming Edition Plus Review

Rating: 8.5.

My colleague Simon Telford got hands on with the Hauppauge HD PVR2 Gaming Edition late last year and if you missed his review you can catch up here. Simon had some concerns about the build quality but felt confident enough to award it our Worth Considering Award.

Today we are going to take a look at the Hauppauge HD PVR2 Gaming Edition Plus. The big question is, does the Gaming Edition Plus have what it takes to get our coveted Must Have Award?
