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.

yeah it looked clunky so to get the pricing for the others, just head over to Gamescoreblog lol

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.
August 23rd, 2006 at 3:14 pm
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.
