Roxio is probably your best best. I can't be bothered to spend much on Capture Cards either but after 6 years on TouYube, may as well get one. They're cheap (around £70 - €80) and probably cheaper now since they released the HD version.

It's a 480p capture card than you can upscale to 720p (and 1080p) though it's not not true 1080p, but 720p is a decent quality.
Example of my video (720p at 60FPS).



Tekken being an amazing 1080p (though this is Xbox so 720p) but still looks very nice.

However this capture card only takes component cables. Fortunately you can buy component cables from eBay for €2 (£2) for the Wii and PS3 (You should really get component cables for the Wii anyway). PS3 it downgrades the quality from HDMI but it at least you can capture that console too. It's perfect for Xbox since it's a 720p console going for 1080p is just foolish(like so many YouTubers who make CoD videos *shudders*).

Here's my capture card (another bonus) is that it comes with it's own editing software. Not Sony Vegas, sure, but has a lot of editing and does allow you to be creative than software like Windows Movie Maker.
