The Live Gamer Portable ships in a black box with a bright picture across the length of the front.

The bottom of the box lists the contents, specifications and requirements.

The back of the box describes the Live Gamer Portable's key features and shows a layout of the recorder.

Inside the box are the Live Gamer Portable itself, a soft protective bags, an HDMI cable, 3.5mm audio cable, a component video/audio cable, a mini USB cable and a PS3 cable. Also included is an XSplit Broadcaster Gift Certificate which gives the buyer a three month license. XSplit is a dedicated suite of tools aimed at live streaming. More information can be found here.

A top view of the Live Gamer Portable shows the Hot Button, which is used to start and stop streaming/recording, the input and output labels at the back and the PC/PC Free Mode recording switch. To put the Live Gamer Portable's size in perspective, it is approximately 2.5 times thicker than a Samsung Galaxy Note II and almost 75% of its length and width.

A close-up of the Hot Button shows the textured surface. The cover is made out of plastic but has a brushed aluminium look to it.

At the front we can see the PC/PC Free Mode switch. Placed to the left recordings are saved directly to your hard drive, whilst setting it to the right will allow you to record directly on an SD card.

The left hand side is where you'll find the USB slot which serves to supply power and transfer data onto your hard drive.

The right hand side shows the SD Card slot. Those with Micro SD Cards will have to secure themselves an adaptor to record in PC Free Mode.

Finally, the back of the recorder houses the AV IN, HDMI IN and OUT and AUDIO IN and OUT ports. Keeping in line with its portability, the design is clean and kept simple.
