As far as model differences, the original Elgato Game Capture HD is the only one that will do analog inputs out of the box. If you get an HD60 or HD60S, then you need an upscaler to convert the analog to digital/HDMI. If you have a desktop, then there is the internalized option for the HD60S, which is what I would personally go for.
There are many HDMI capture devices though by different companies--Elgato, Hauppauge, AverMedia, etc. I would do some research and choose the one that you think will suit you best.
Thanks for the heads up. I ended up buying a used Elgato Game Capture HD off Ebay for $80. Hopefully the USB port doesn't cause me any grief. If everything works like it should I'll link my high score run of High Speed. I'm gonna see what happens with the score once you go over 99,999,999.
