That racing wheel is a little higher than I was hoping. I think I am going to move from “definate buy” to “try it and see if it’s worth it”.
The cam is a definate for me as soon as I see one to buy.
Maybe…the Forza faceplate. My second 360 still has it’s stock one on it.

I was thinking the wheel would be around $100-$130. For $150, Forza and the wheel would be over $200 alone. It would be a definite buy for me if it wasn’t for the other 6-7 AAA titles coming out in the same month as the wheel…
I guess I’ll have to see how much I make on my PS3 eBay auction.

I am really hoping there will be more kid friendly titles for the camera. It would make gaming easy for the little ones. I think I want this thing and since it appearently works with Windows based PCs it should be a very competitive web cam.

I’ve been sent a few picture messages with the Vision camera and I like the quality of it.
August 23rd, 2006 at 2:15 pm
it’s 1.3 megapixels which is pretty impressive for a console accessory like this. shreddies sent a few pics to me and it was pretty cool..

It’s by no means an Apple iSight but then agian it’s $100 cheaper.

It’s 1.3mp(1024×768?) for pics, but it’s only 640×480 for movies, which is still pretty good. That’s pretty much standdard for webcams today.
*begin rant*
ROBOTRON? WHY ROBOTRON? IT’S PROBABLY THE LEAST SELLING ARCADE GAME OUT! That’s probably why they are bundling it.
*end rant*

LOL…and I was stupid enough to actually buy Robotron.

[...] Yep, it’s Monday. What’s the biz for this week? Well I didn’t see any movies this past weekend although I wanted to try and see Snakes on a Plane but didn’t get the time. I did have a Madden NFL 07 event with a few friends. They seemed to enjoy the game as well as the Vision Camera. [...]
