Xbox LIVE Vision Camera with Xbox LIVE Gold 12-Month Membership Card (Xbox 360)

Bargain!!!!!
This is an absolute bargain!!! I needed to update my live and i was intrested in getting the camera anyway.... so when i saw tis i thought.... has to be a catch.....

XBOX Live Vision Camera : £30
Xbox Live 12 Month Subscription : £35
Xbox Live Headset : £15
Two Arcade live Games + 200 Microsoft points : about £10
Total : £90

And this all costs £50!!!!!!

Yes i already have a headset... but now me and a friend can both go on live one as a guest... and i have spare on incase one breaks.. and its free!!!!!! Who cares!!!!

The Camera is a great piece of kit!! Easy to use and some decent features, the ability to send picture messages, change your gamercard, have video conversations, live video feed during games like Uno.... but best of all is the face mapping , seen in rainbow six vegas, which is obviously going to become a regular on up and coming games... and it works!! .... i was sceptical... i had an eyetoy for the ps2... and on tony hawks underground face mapping was available using the eyetoy... it was dreadful.... you looked like a gargoyle, or had eyes and mouths in wrong places, and was a complete waste of time!!! But this works... and is so simple... select face map.. take 2 pics (front and side) wait 30 seconds...and there you are, your face on your character and it looks brilliant!!!

And it works on my laptop as a webcam too... no daft cd's to load somthnig that you need to load another thing that you need to get it working... plug in .. select in on you c-drive and there you have it!!! The quality is great and look at the camera itself looks fantastic... i couldn't believe the size when i got it out the box... its tiny, nothing like the HUGE stupid eye toy.... this sits nicely on the top of your xbox

Xbox live is a must.... simple as that..... dont contemplate buying it... dont moan about the price..... cos with this.. your getting it free.. just say your buying a camera and a head set.. and hey, you get some free xbox live.. no worries!!!

Cant reccomend this package enough, as ive said it really is a bargain!! Everything you need to enjoy the most out of your 360!!!

Buy it!!!!! and send silly pictures to your friends!!!

Not much yet, but the potential...
That this came packaged with 12 months of Xbox Live Gold membership, a few microsoft points and a couple of free XBLA games makes it an absolute bargain. When I bought this it was £49.99, which compared to letting my current Xbox Live subscription auto renew online, meant that I was getting the camera for less than ten quid. (If you have recently renewed your membership online then simply use the voucher in the box to extend it from one to two years before you need to renew again - the same applies to any XBox Live Gold vouchers)

Keeping this short and sweet the camera does what I expected. It's quite small, but it didn't need to be big and it has a nice long cable so you can find that optimum place to stand it. Picture quality is pretty good. Video chatting with "Friends" also gives you the opportunity to remove the weird looking ones from your list! (CAUTION : If you are weird looking then you may lose friends by buying this product!). The ability to take pictures of yourself and surroundings and to message your XBL Friends with them can also generate a certain degree of correspondence!

Unfortunately there is not much out there that makes good use of the camera yet. The bragging rights in C&C3:Tiberium Wars and scanning your face onto your character in multiplayer Rainbow Six:Las Vegas were for me the main reasons currently for buying it (after all I'm sure we all want virtual replicas of ourselves at the wrong end of automatic weapons fire). Definitely not disappointed.

Out of Date XBox Gold Subscription
We received this and the Xbox Live vision is brilliant. Unfortunately the 12 Month Gold Subscription expired in 2007 which is not a lot of good considering it is now 2008. I wish I had noticed when we had received the goods but my daughter's xbox subscription has only just run out and we were going to use this but obviously we cannot.
VERY DISAPPOINTED....

Flexiglow Cyber Snipa Scout Webcam (PC)

Great picture,easy setup,but...
This is a great little webcam. The picture quality is the best I've seen.Software is very good.But is wasn't all plain sailing. It didn't work when delivered. This was a fault with it's USB connector plug.After replacement,worked great.Sound pickup is excellent. The cam has 6 leds - note that these only work at a very limited distance, you cannot use this in the dark. It has little effect on the picture illumination really. However, because the cam has a light sensor and autoswitches the leds on,you find that the leds are on most of the time,even in what is sufficient light for a normal picture.Accordingly,it is usually disconnected to avoid annoyance of the leds. Good price for what you get.

Official Sony EyeToy Camera (PS2)

A great invention in the right conditions
The Playstation 2 Eyetoy camera, when used with special games, allows you to see or capture images of yourself on screen.

There are an increasing number of PS2 games with which the Eyetoy can be used. It is, obviously, an essential part of the 'Eyetoy...' series of games, where your body becomes the controller! It is also compatible with a few regular games, such as Singstar. Rather than buying just the camera, it might be better value to get the package which comes with an Eyetoy: Play game.

The problem is that the camera needs the right amount of light in order to display your image clearly. As long as you have a well-lit, spacious room to play in, you'll have loads of fun with the Eyetoy Camera!

other good thing about the eye toy
theres is other cool thing about the ps2 eye toy and that if you know the hack you can uses it as a web cam for the pc and it has anamzing picture and sound better then most web cams in the shop and they are good fun to play on the ps2 i have payed some games with it but it not my type of fun but my sister loves it so yop notch :D

Buy the package with the camera and a game instead
I made the mistake of buying this for £20 when you can get the camera bundled with eyetoy games for £30. If you buy the camera on its own you will end up spending another 20 quid to buy the eyetoy games almost immediately - not much point in having the camera without the games.

The two stars refers to the fact that the camera on its own is not good value compared with the package.

Xbox LIVE Vision Camera with Headset and Xbox LIVE Gold 1-Month Membership Card (Xbox 360)

Xbox Live Vision Review
A good idea with some great potential but for the time being that's all it is. I think it's great that the camera can be used as a normal webcam, being a USB, you can just plug it into your PC.

The camera is reasonably clear, however you can take a higher advantages of the effects on the 360. After taking a photo, to set as your personal gamerpicture, or to send to a friend, you can add various effects, including the common settings like black and white, sepia, negative, as well as special lens effects that expand, inflate, or reflect the picture, as well as many more.

When i purchased this item, it comes with a one month free gold membership on xbox live, an extra headset for online chatting (worth about £14.99 at the time), and a code to download UNO full xbox live arcade game. Great if you have friends over with the headset, so you can all talk to different people, and UNO isn't a bad way to boost your gamerscore.

Similar to the Sony Eyetoy, on playstation 2, you can use it to control characters. However there is few games this is compatible with. TotemBall, (a free arcade game that requires the camera) is not the greatest of games, but, for the younger generation it can be fun. Basically you control a ball rolling around a level, by moving your arms up and down in fountains to control the speed and direction. Doesn't sound great, because basically it isn't, specially when you already have perfectly good games to play on.

You can also have video conversations and calls with other xbox live members but they must have a gold membership to view and send their own (if they have the cam), or they can just watch, (with gold).

Another great feature that the visioncam can be used for is 'Gameface' technology. Despite only being in one game, this shows great potential for personalising characters. The only game supporting this so far is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas. I don't own this game but I would say - aswell as many other people - that it's possible one of the greatest shooters on xbox 360 so far. In multiplayer you create your own characeter, when the camera is connected, you set up to take a photo, line up your face in good lighting in the box shown on screen, then take a photo, repeat it again from the side. After quite a long wait, that, providing it works, is worth it, a photo appears on your soldier that doesn't look identical, but looks quite good. Unfortunately, I don't think you can arm your character with various headgear, like scars, balaclavas and goggles but you unlock an achievement worth 20 or 30 gamerpoints which is a highish benefit if you have a low score like me :)

Despite a high asking price, with all the extras and potential included it is worth buying. However it's also worth waiting for to hope the price lowers and more games include the gameface technology.

Hope this review was helpful to anyone considering buying this item.

Great FUN, as Totemball is FREE!
A great piece of kit. You can have so much fun creating your own custom head by adding stupid masks, etc, (on Rainbow Six Vegasthat is). It can also be used in a lot of other games, either as an essential piece of kit (Totemball) or as a fun extra (Uno).

Uno code (to download it for free) is included with it, as well as a 1 month xbox live gold subscription and a wired headset (they can break easily as mine did). Also, although the code is not included in the pack, you can download Totemball, as a "FREE OFFER" when plugging in the camera. So it does come with the camera, sort of; Totemball is actually quite entertaining too. Uno is also a great addition to the kit.

No regrets in buying it, great fun, and enjoy.

P.S. This link shows list of all the games that make use of the camera plus much more info:

All you Xbox Live Owners really need to get this!!
This probably is the best accessory out for the Xbox360 at the moment, bar the wireless controller. The Vision camera really is tiny, it has to be seen to be believed..it looks a hell of a lot nicer than the Eyetoy ever did on the PS2. For the price, the camera comes bundled with the Xbox Live headset,(which i do find uncomfortable however), and the Xbox Live Arcade game, UNO. This probably is the most addictive game I have played from the Arcade games, its so easy to pick up, and its brillant when played online through Xbox Live, as you can see and hear your opponents through the Vision camera.

The killer feature however, is the ability to use the camera with PCs, im using it right now on MSN Messenger. Its easy to set-up too, as Windows automatically finds the necessary driver. The only downside however, is the lack of options available, and I havent yet figured out how to take the 1.3MP photos as the box suggests (maybe thats only on XBox Live).

But to sum up, Xbox Live is the killer app that the PS3 never will have anything like, and with Microsoft churning out accessories like the Xbox Live Vision camera, its easy to see why theres only one Next-Gen console worth investing in....

Sony Go! Cam (PSP)

go!cam a gogo
this small camera is very good and easy to use at first i had a bit of trouble getting it started but now it works fine and the filming works well to.To get the most out of the camers i advise you to get a 4gb memory card because you have to download the go!edit softwear and if you have games saves on there that takes up place to but all in all im really peased with it ITS A MUST GET FOR PSP OWNERS !!!!!!!

Nice piece of kit
Got this on the day of release (Amazon superb as usual) and it's an impressive little gadget, not to be taken too seriously, though. It takes seconds to connect to the PSP and I started taking decent quality photos and movies immediately. Obviously not a digital camera replacement, but I don't think it was ever intended to be.
The Go! Edit software that I presumed would come on a CD, had to be downloaded from Sony and it took a lot of messing about before it would download properly. You don't have to download it if you don't want to and I found it a bit too gimmicky. Kids will probably have some fun with it, though. Overall, a nice little piece of kit.

Go!Cam (PSP)
I received the Go!Cam (PSP)from Amazon just 2 days after I ordered it and within 10 minutes I was using the camera. This tiny camera is 1.3 megapixel image & 30 FPS video quality and there is a built in microphone which works fine although the PSP seems to interfere with it. The 180 degree swivel for the lens is great as one can do video diaries and there is a Many mobile phones have this quality or better but are limited in screen size and memory. The PSP screen is big but in daylight difficult to see. The digital zoom is not that great and is stepped in 4 levels.

The Go!Cam has several adjustments for size and quality. Videos can be taken at full PSP res (480x272) at 30 fps and photos can be taken at either 480x272 or 640x480.

I have added 2 outdoor images so you can see for yourself.

I downloaded the latest firmaware update which has a camera icon under the Photo section. It does what it says and adds a new dimension to the PSP. There is a tiny plastic case which is a very good idea.

I can connect via USB cable to the PS3, swap memory stick of transfer my images and films to my PC and then play from my PS3 and copy to the PS3 HD. I have yet to figure out how to transfer via WiFi from PSP to PS3.

I am having problems registering for the free Go Edit! software as my PSP was purchased out from Lik-Sang in Hong Kong which Sony's lawyers have now closed down.

Good value! When will the PSP GPS be available?
