Apparently a problem with USB capture devices is video lag, to the point that it makes playing games on your computer a problem. Kurouto Shikou has announced a new device called the "GameBridge" which supposedly addresses this problem.
Update: I've done a bit of research into this, and apparently lag isn't a problem on all modern USB 2.0 capture devices. Sorry for the false alarm. I'll leave this article up because I don't feel like deleting it. Kurouto Shikou announced the "KRTV-AGB/U2" USB 2.0 capture unit with a TV tuner on November 22nd. The KRTV-AGP/U2 is a capture unit that features an internal TV tuner and connects via USB 2.0. It uses software encoding to encode into MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, and can be connected to game consoles so they can be played on computer screens. "InterVideo HomeTheater" is included as control software, and the included wireless remote controller means it can be controlled in a fashion similar to a hard drive recorder. Inputs are RF, S-Video, video, audio, and it supports USB. Power is supplied by USB bus power. The size is 66 x 43 x 20mm, and it weighs about 29g.
