I hope someone will hack a USB adapter.

 

[GameAddict411]

What about the PS4? When will we see an official unboxing video?

 

[Frumix]

I hope someone will hack a USB adapter.

I think it's supposed to be a custom-shaped USB, so that shouldn't be too hard.

 

[Freaky Fred]

Holy shit the guy in the second video is so easily impressed.

"It's got the Playstation logo on it?!?!"

 

[Wurdfurd]

Slow news day?

Pretty sure there were camera unboxing videos in other threads. Not to mention they have been readily available for like a week now in some markets.

Are you not entertained?

 

[DietRob]

hhhhahahah.. My man in the second video is hyped as shit. That's funny.

 

[Paganmoon]

Looks tiny.

Official as in by Sony? Probably after launch

 

[TriGen]

I'm getting one, so it's cool to get a good look at it, because honestly not much has been said or shown regarding the camera. I just committed to it because I would like to use Twitch, so I figured being able to use it like a webcam at the very least made it worth picking-up.

 

[Calibus]

Eh I'm not a huge fan of the design. It looks like they were going for a Kinect-like shape. Would have preferred to have seen something a bit more unique. Just personal preference.

 

[satam55]

It's a smart move by Sony to release the PS Eye Camera early along with the Dualshock 4. It'll peak folks interest enough to buy it.

 

[Suzushiiro]

I don't know why it took so long to hit me, but the thing makes me think of a tootsie roll bar.

I think it's supposed to be a custom-shaped USB, so that shouldn't be too hard.

I believe the signal is analog and the analog->digital converter is in the system itself, hence the custom port.

 

[Marvel]

Camera is so small. Nice.

gamescom, PS4 Just dance video trailer. It shows people playing the game without move. It would be awesome if it works as good as shown in the video.

 

[Barsinister]

Bought one yesterday when I picked up Batman Vita. Haven't opened it yet. I stuck it in my closet and am waiting for the big day.

That's a Kinect.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

The second video...lol

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

that second video guy is so enthusiastic

 

[Huddy]

Great it comes with a stand. I'd seen some third party stands for the PS camera and feared the worst.

 

[Iacobellis]

Holy shit the guy in the second video is so easily impressed.

You clearly never have watched The Tester, Season Three.

 

[satam55]

How is Sony able to charge ONLY $60 for the camera? I was looking at webcams on Amazon.com and I noticed that a webcam that has the features of the PS4 Camera would definitely cost more than $60.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Fire Keighly, hire jtightbabytooth.

 

[ShinobiFist]

That fucking second vid, LOL!

 

[Obscene Jester]

What motivates someone to do these awful unboxing videos anyway?

 

[v1lla21]

Lol. Was I the only one that liked The Tester?

The Just Dance dev mentions in this IGN video that PS4 version uses the camera:

Youtube hits?

 

[DietRob]

youtube money from google for people like us viewing them?

 

[Salex_]

I love the second video lol.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Turn me up.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

jtight is hyped as fuck.

Those other companies overcharging? Sony over delivering on value? Aliens?

 

[Obscene Jester]

Doubt any of these will get many hits at all.

 

[Finalizer]

pique.

They had cameras for sale alongside the DS4s at a local Gamestop. The employee I talked to amusingly remarked how there was basically zero interest while some folks were already picking up the controllers, heh.

 

[coldone]

That's a Kinect.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9I9uRYxKn2k#t=102

he mentions that PS4 uses camera at 1.42

 

[DietRob]

I think you are doubting the undeniable exuberance of jtight

 

[Iacobellis]

Lol. Was I the only one that liked The Tester?

I liked it! RealityPales posts here sometimes.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Awesome Sony is selling this stuff early. Cool.

 

[CreepingFear]

So is the PS4 camera something I'm going to want to get? Will I be missing out on something if I don't get it?

 

[kaching]

Eh I'm not a huge fan of the design. It looks like they were going for a Kinect-like shape. Would have preferred to have seen something a bit more unique. Just personal preference.

A "Kinect-like shape" being a rectangle? We're going level accusations of copying solely on the basis of basic geometric patterns now?

In any case it's more likely a case of function determining form more than any intent to copy. Stereoscopic cameras and mic arrays need to be laid out in certain ways to actually be effective.

 

[RadarScope1]

So is there a magnet on that last panel of the stand or something? No sure I get how it attaches to a TV if not. If so, I could easily get this on the top of my TV. It's tiny and would be pretty inconspicuous.

 

[ckohler]

1st Video: Dude doesn't even know what he bought or how it would work.
2nd Video: Dude is way over excited but is funny.
3rd Video: Dude is calm, collected and accurate.

Watch video 3.

 

[cripterion]

2nd video really had me laughing.

 

[Derpcrawler]

To be honest I don't understand why would you need camera on launch. Isn't the only game supporting it is PlayRoom? Unless you are twitch streamer, I don't see any way to use the camera until something else comes out that uses it.

 

[Salex_]

So is the PS4 camera something I'm going to want to get? Will I be missing out on something if I don't get it?

I haven't been paying attention to it but Playroom looks cool. It's pre-installed in every PS4 and DLC will be free.

 

[Barsinister]

Opened the box just now. The stand has three hinges that bend to hook onto the TV.
On the part where the stand holds the camera, it has some prongs that snap the camera into place.

 

[Storm360]

I love the second guy.

What's the size compared to your common household item?
