DVD Recorders

I'm thinking of getting a DVD Recorder, not only because I want to get some stuff from VHS and record shows on the television, but for use as a capture card for my game consoles (right now only an Xbox and a PS2).

I wanted to know if you all recommend any brands? I want to keep it pretty cheap, something under let's say $75. I was thinking about the Dazzle DVD Recorder, but there are a lot of spare wires to buy which is a bit of a turn off. Setting it up doesn't seem that bad, I'm fairly tech savvy.

Quality is important, but I don't need it to be stunning. I'm not looking for some sort of high-end recorder, just something that'll get the job done, is fairly cheap, and looks nice.
