Opens in a new window
Just as Cyber Monday ends, another big savings event begins at Best Buy.
From Nov. 18 to Dec. 9, Best Buy’s 12 Days of Gaming sale is bringing an exclusive gaming-centric deal for PlayStation, Xbox, and/or Nintendo Switch players every single day. These items will range from individual games to console accessories and more. The third deal of the bunch just went live, and aspiring streamers are going to love it: The Elgato HD60 X external capture card is on sale for $149.99, which is $30 off the usual price of a very solid device, especially for those who are just starting out.
If you don’t already know what a capture card is, it’s pretty simple. Capture cards allow you to record gameplay from your PC or console, all while preserving the quality of the footage and ensuring your recordings look and sound just as good as they did when you played them yourself. This is far better than simply screen recording what you’re playing, which almost always results in grainy playback and lost data. The HD60 X is a fantastic option for those looking to create content out of their gameplay: It can capture your footage in 4K30 or 1080p60 HDR10 quality resolution, allows you to play with up to 4K60 HDR10 passthrough and variable refresh rate, has zero limitations on streaming apps and platforms, features flashback recording, and more. It also has Steam Deck integration now, which is a nice bonus.
If you want to get into streaming in any capacity, you’re going to need a good capture card, so you might as well make it this one while it’s discounted.
As with all of the deals featured in Best Buy’s 12 Days of Gaming event, this doorbuster is available in limited quantities with no rainchecks.
