Sort of but not really. As with all releases whether it be a game or a cool accessory, some local retail chain is bound to test the boundaries of the ’scheduled release’ dates by either selling before the date or just plain old goofing up.
A few days ago news throughout the Xbox 360 community surfaced of local Toys R ‘Us chains selling the Live Vision Camera already! This news started on August 18. Thanks to Xbox 360 gamer, bigman606, for the pics.
No this doesn’t signal the worldwide release of the Vision Camera. This would signal a goof in my opinion…one of those goofs that just come with the business and for those of you who got lucky…enjoy. Those of you wondering what came with the purchase, here are the details:
- Price - $39.99 US
- Xbox Live Vision Camera
- 1 Month Subscription Xbox Live Gold
- Xbox Live 360 Headset
- Registration code for Xbox Live Arcade title Uno

Yeah, I was able to snag one from Toys R Us this morning, so if anyone wants to see it in action, send me a message.

That means I’m gonna have 4 official MS headsets. And my launch one still works.

I wish i could have found one of theese but that would entail not buying madden07 this week so i can wait until the 19th next month to get my hands on one.
Congrats to those that got in on the steal though!

Honestly, I’m not really that hyped about this. The wireless mic seems more interesting to me *shrugs*

Hey…I’m back after a brief vacation.
I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a cam.
Do we know when it is “supposed” to launch?
August 21st, 2006 at 8:46 am
September 19th.

Looks like I am going to be busy for awhile then. I’ll need to power though LOTR before Saints Row then finish that before the cam.
…all that with Poker mixed in too.

i’m still wondering why i’m so intrigued by this camera lol i guess having done it on PC for a long time, i figured the excitement wouldn’t be much…but it has been for me..guess it’s the whole console thing.

I am not really sure about this one because I dont want to feel like I have to get dressed to play 360. Some days I just like to play in my PJ’s!!!
August 21st, 2006 at 9:22 pm
well don’t turn it on if you’re not dressed

good information on the camera’s functions as well as cancelling any notions of a ‘conspiracy’ to release the Vision Camera early.

August 25th, 2006 at 7:45 am
