MS Fanboys Forking out .. AGAIN!

[Swifty]

I don't believe it

was going around eBay and thought id take a look if any of the 360 cameras were online.

Low and behold there was about 10 and the prices were unbelievable. The highest bid for the nearest one to finish was brinking on $100 / £70 and no doubt the rest will be the same.

Is a camera truly worth over double the price just to get it one month earlier. Personally I don't think the camera is worth the retail price of £40 let alone £70.

What do you guys think ?

[WACCOE]

No, I don't think it is. That price is just mental!

I don't see why one will be even necassary, unless some good game comes out in which you need to use it.

[gashead]

The camera is going to be £40? Wow, that puts me right off of it now!

me too :(..........

[Swifty]

yup £39.99 retail sadly

[RiLu@]

With all the stuff in it it's cheap!

The only idea about the camera in whichIenjoyed was the possibilty of facial mapping so your character in the game would "appear" more like the real you.

I wouldn't be interested in Video Chat or Personal Pictures of myself as a Gamerpic, so for £40 they can swivel.

And at £70 for one there having a bigger laugh, sure theres not muchyou can do with it know except swear at people on Uno.

[Swifty]

The sad thing is that 90% of LIVE is used by immature pre-schoolers and you can imagine the pics they put up which they think are 'cool'.... LIVE will beocme the internet... ---- city for 10 year olds!

I never got ---- on the net, it's just as easy to get ---- in your Living Room via Satelitte or Cable.

But as I understand it Personalised Gamerpics can only be viewed by people on your Friends List and Video Chat is exclusive to one-on-one conversations. So I see it more like a group of lads taking the out of Fat Ginger Kid, or people trying to hit on people.

Probably because they are attention seekers, only reason really. I'm quite keen to see the quality of the camera, a friend of mind said that one of his Live friends got one and showed him a picture of himself, which my friend said was of great quality.

[Raisedbyflames]

ill probberly not botherwith itunless they include it in a game i care about

[phatmuther]

until they actually release games that USE the camera, i wont get it.

i dont count being able to let other people see you as a great selling point, i want games like the Eyetoy has, and so far theres one, that tottemball thing. its needs more, soon

[Raisedbyflames]

rainbow six, putting your face on your guy is one of the feature might consider tiifit does a goodjob

[phatmuther]

well i dont consider that to be all that great :unsure:
you wouldnt see your face for entire single player game, and multiplayer other people would see it and probably not care/notice

[Raisedbyflames]

yeah but i wouldput on some cam cream and blood and put my killing face
