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.

Yeah, megapixels defines whether a camera is better or not...FAIL! Get your facts right.

Sony should somehow Fuse both hardware and software with the PSEye and the Sony WAND to make a NEW product all together, then maybe they can stand up to MS's grand NATAL.

Wand need EyeToy

so this Spring, bug bundle is coming with Wand/Eyetoy

selling one without the other would be stupid



Time to Work !

Wait wait.. What? Grand Natal?

I pray you are joking Seraphic, LOL.



@Smashed - As a dual HD console owner, im just stating the my opinon, Nintendos motion + and Sonys Wands + PSEye feel sort of out-dated VS NATAL, but if Sony can make this work out RIGHT then it might be equal with NATAL, as of right now though i'd rather sonys idea a 8 while MS gets a 9.

Excuse me, but you do realize that megapixels is the dominant determining factor of whether a camera is better or not... the larger the resolution/quality you can capture at, the better the camera.

I also was just showing that Xoj's statement was incorrect.  There is no doubting that the PS Eye sucks as a high resolution capturing device, but that's not what it is intended for.  It just needs to have enough resolution to be able to differentiate between objects.

You, sir, have FAILED!  Get YOUR facts right, genious.  The PSEye is basically a standard webcam with better low light image detection and a 4 array mic built in.



Ive given up on the eye for the most part. They dropped the ball on eyetoy, they will drop it on eye.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

-Jim Sterling

actually the # of megapixels is not the determining factor as to what digital camera is better. most knowledgeable photographers only want about 8 megapixels.

A serious question, what does Natal offer that the PS Eye doesn't? I know Sony is foucssing on using their wand in conjuction with the Eye but based on the Eye Pet demo it would appear that the PS Eye is also capable of tracking body movements (and now we have facial and voice regonition too).


3D flight-of-time mapping with it's own hardware to deal with the load rather than wasting another SPU like the EyeToy and the PSWand will
