Adaptec USB GameBridge Marries Console Games & Notebooks

  February 27th, 2007



WE RECOMMEND

If you are a console gamer that wants to be able to play console games on your PC display Adaptec makes it possible. The Adaptec GameBridge allows you to connect your console to a PC display for some frag time at the desk or on the go with your notebook. Personally I have never felt the need to console game on my PC, but I guess if your wife wanted to watch girly shows about weddings or cooking and you needed to blow some stuff up, yet only have one TV the GameBridge could be useful. The device is a small AA powered box that outputs console video to your PC screen at a measly 1024 x 768 screen resolution via S-Video and composite connections. The entire device connects to your PC via USB and you can also use the device to record TV on your PC if you spring for the 1410 model as opposed to the 1400 they reviewed. Bad news is the GameBridge pegged the reviewers CPU at 100% which will kill battery time, then perhaps his CPU just sucks he didn't mention system specs.
