i knew it, the pseye is very capable.

just needs the software to back it up.

It is a webcam...

its a 120fps 2mpx CMOS Sensor (something sony its AWESOME AT) webcam ;).

with 4array mic and nice low light tech.

The PlayStation Eye is capable of capturing standard video with frame rates of 60 hertz at a 640x480 pixel resolution, and 120 hertz at 320x240 pixels, which is "four times the resolution" and "two times the frame-rate" of the EyeToy, according to Sony.

So no, it is not a 120fps 2megapixel camera.  The 4 array mic is true, but last I checked 640x480 is equivalent to far less than 1,300,000 pixels, but are commonly taken in 1.3 megapixel image quality.  Most cell phones these days have better cameras in them to be honest.
