tbh things like that don't usually work as most letters aren't symmetrical.

Breaking News: Vivendi and Activision are no longer together. Now it's time to see will Vivendi take Crash and Spyro licence or will Activision keep it.

Given their usage of Spyro for Skylanders, and how well Skylanders does, it may be that Activision keep Spyro, we'll have to see.
Crash on the other hand, is as dubious as ever.

Couldn't agree more with you.

I think Skylanders is a great franchise, at least for those geek toy collectors. I don't know if I'm right, but I think Spyro was taken out of the franchise long ago.

You can use Spyro toy in any Skylander game. I am not toy collector so I pretty much played Both Skylanders with usually only Spyro, and I never bought any extra toys so I pretty much have only ones included with games.

I found a cheap alternative to record the ingame footage of my PS2 and my future Atari Jaguar.
As i see it uses USB 2.0, which is slow like hell, i once tried to record my tab via USB 1.0, and it running at like 3 FPS, expecting a USB 2.0 to be 5 times faster, which is still 15 fps. It won't be fast, i'd better buy a DVD recorder if i had money.

I watched a comparison video and for standart quality it's OK. I also don't feel like wasting another 200€ for a high quality capture card like the Hauppauge HD PVR for only the PS2 and Atari Jaguar.

We used an Easycap-like device (Magix) for when we recorded my walkthrough of Japanese Rayman 2 Dreamcast and I can tell you that while it indeed got the job done we found that the audio kept going out of sync and Aaron had to edit it with Adobe Premier to get it right. The PVR is WAY better (albeit I'm not sure if it's compatible with the Jaguar or many older consoles for that matter) if only for how good the software that comes with it is.

Can someone else recommand me a good cheap recording device below 40€? I am now afraid if I buy this cheap one and then the device won't work correct.

You're still getting SD only, but it certainly is more professional than EasyCap, here's a vid of his I found:

Ah interesting. But the video doesn't run fluently and laggs in some points. I don't want a capture device that laggs.

Mind you, that was one of his earlier 'uns, just do a bit of research into the device, it's the best you're probably going to get for the price point you've set.
