I've also heard that the live camera is one of the best webcams you can buy.

Now if only we could get Nintendo to sell Animal Crossing: City Folk and WiiSpeak for $60...

I have the camera and it sucks complete ass as a web cam. The Eye Toy from Sony is much better but only because it can pivot and has an awesome mic (no need for headset). My problem with the concept is that the camera is attached via USB to the console so there is no way to get shots outside of a couple of feet from the 360. They need to just make it compatiable with regular cameras and turn it into more of a neat little movie editing suite that require the vision cam. A man can dream can't he.

The PS3 does already have something sort of similar and it is a free download. The software that is.

Yeah, the Live Vision cam is a horrible webcam when used on the PC. Get yourself a Logitech cam - the Quickcam Pro 9000 can be had for $75 and does HD capture and stream (if you have the bandwidth). On the 360, the picture looks ok, but only in good light. Otherwise it's a picture from 2001.

The Movies was good, but you see everything in less than a week, If they had more content it would have been excellent, except it had already been delayed like ten times...

I don't know which appalls me more: the comparison you chose to use, or the fact that you know about both subjects enough to make that comparison.

Sora I believe the true question is should we laugh or feel bad for the fact he watched a Uwe Boll movie? But I better don’t say this out loud I don’t want to have to face Uwe Boll in a ring like Lowtax.

News:Amateur Pron movies have dialogue, who knew?


(The “Uwe Boll + you are in the movies joke” was mine *sigh).

Comments like this still amaze me.

The 360 camera has been out for almost 2 years. :\

Eye toy as in the software coming out for it. I'm well aware of the camera being out, their just ripping off the games.

Yeah, and the Eyetoy ripped off the Gameboy Camera and the Dreameye.



Please, give us a break.

I sorta agree. While their isn't any Eyetoy game quite like this, the game itself is very reminiscent of one. I will say it looks much more advanced than any of the Eyetoy games.

I just could never see myself...wanting to play this. When they first announced it, I thought it would be an improv game, basically telling you to act out scenes or ideas...i.e. "say something dramatic and then look right into the camera" or "profess your love for Player 2". Then it would mix the scenes together in some clever way. Madlibs mixed with Whose Line Is It Anyway, is basically what I expected.

This however looks like a collection of minigames that relies heavily on prefabbed scenes and narration. IMO it would be much better if it lost the cheap bluescreen effect and minigames, and went for a more open-ended style. Honestly, pretending to swat wasps is going to get old the second time you do it.

Looks like they ripped of my grandpappy's reel to reel video machine.

Sure, the cam can be had for less but it does retail for USD$40.

As to Nintendo's products, the rumble pak and memory card expansion both were innovations to the console world that have stuck, so they were worth something.
