...Following the instructions listed, you then take a picture. Before doing so though, you are able to zoom in by selecting the magnifying glass button with the little plus sign next to it. Once you're ready and take a picture, the camera gives you a 3 second countdown and then it takes the shot. After that, it brings you back to the Send Message screen where you can then add an effect to your picture...

Cool. This thing is only going to be $79.99 and it comes with 1 year of Xbox Live Gold, plus 200 marketplace points, plus Uno. Not a bad deal.

[Update 1]: The Xbox 360 camera will work on your PC or Mac. You simply have to download a quick software upgrade and you're all set to go. Thanks to T7 for the question!

hopefully the same for the hd-dvd drive! :)

It'll apparently come bundled with 'Totemball' for $40 also.

Have they sorted out a dynamic penis blurring system yet?
God, I have some shady characters in my friends list on my MightyHedgehog account, too. Better deactivate that before I get a goatse surprise the next time I use it.

Oh, okay, well if it IS anywhere above say, $70, then I'm pretty much ruling it out. But the question still remains, what is it for?
well, allegedly there will be games that feature the motion capturing of the camera. Nothing specific is announced yet afaik.

I like the idea of having a video chat with my friends however. Oh, and putting my face on in-game characters could be neat as well.

I guess I'll get it if the price is right, if not - I'll wait till it comes down to like 40 quid or so.
 
I believe you're only going to be able to use custom photos for your 'friends' gamerpic. I don't think they are going to let you set your public gamerpic to one you took.

I don't see much balls on my AIM or msn, so I don't see how this will turn out to be that bad. Most people are very reserved when it comes to things like posting their own body parts. Pictures of perfect gentalia would be common but that's fine.

Spent any time on Myspace? or BlackPlanet?

Wow, I'd bite for that! Makes me glad I just bought a 3 month card and not a year =)

Hmm. I'll say it again since it seems the news may have been missed, but didn't MS talk about their first 'gesture game'/camera bundle at Gamefest? Totemball?

http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=10494

Like I said, $40 for that bundle. $70 won't be the entry point.
Nice to see this. Was hoping the camera would get used for more than gamerpics and video feeds. Totemball sounds somewhat interesting too and if the price for that package is only $40, then I'm definitely in.
 
Hopefully the PC thing is true, as that would definitely make it worth it...most decent webcams cost more than $40 anyway (assuming it is actually $40)

glad to heard people isn't stupid anymore
This is a error. I will not lend my nephews to play Online games until they're 14 atleast. Online games are fulfilled of nerds who bitches on everyone for no reason. Now, if they can rip images... ****, we all know where this is going, and I'm not a conservative person!

You don't even have to say it, everyone knows what it is. In fact its so obvious that the Sony camp just doesn't even call it out like the MS fanboys seem to do around every PS3 press release.

MS Vision and TotemBall - just $40 away

"The Xbox Live Vision camera is apparently set to ship alongside TotemBall in September, at a thus far unannounced pricing point - U.S. retailer GameStop currently has the camera listed for $39.99 with a September 19th release date, but neither of these specifics have been officially confirmed."

We'll have to hope GS isn't way off with their pricing a month before release.

Look what I found on the local TRU shelf this morning for $39. And yeah on the packaging it says it's WinXP (SP2) compatible.
