I don't know why everyone is crying foul over the resolution being reduced to a quarter, when play.com themselves say that. It's not the image feed itself that has been reduced though, it's the depth map, which is exactly what DF have said all along.

The issue is that Play.com is the ONLY retailer that says that.

And DF is basing their information only on Play.com's specs.

"Here's Play.com's data in full."

 

Amazon, Microsoft's Store, Toys R Us, Walmart, etc, all have 640 x 480 for depth.  Just seems odd that every retailer but one has the specs one way.

It's funny, I'm almost sure that Amazon's specs have fluctuated a few times (UK store) from having both cameras the same to sometimes different and then back to both the same.  I could have been drinking though...

It's an odd one and a great example of how stuff flies around the net like wildfire.
