I'll reword that: That can eliminate a lot of fun and/or good artwork. Honestly, who cares if the person had to use their digital camera to get their SSBM pics onto the computer? As long as we can see the subjects, and the photographer gets to share what he or she caught with the pause feature, the capture card is pretty much just a nifty accessory for better quality images. I'd like one, but I don't know how much they cost.
