View Full Version : XBLV Camera -- $39.99, bundled with UNO & one month of XBL Gold ( + Wired Headset? )

Joystiq has learned the "unofficial" price point for the Xbox Live Vision Camera: $39.99 bundled with Uno and one month of XBL Gold. It's not clear if those of us who already spent our hard-earned MS Points on Uno will get the opportunity to buy either a less expensive un-bundled version or another camera-enabled game. I'm guessing we're out of luck.

They will have to have an unbundled camera. Only problem is that it may not come out until months after the release of the bundle. I think too many people have already bought Uno for them to only release it that way. But who knows...

I heard that this was just a rumor for now and it was also supposed to include a headset.
Appearently the Xbox Live Vision (webcam) is going for sale for $39.99 bundled with Uno, a wired headset and one mont of Xbox Live Gold on September 19th.

Anyways if its true, theres going to be a lot of UNO game code's and headsets on eBay.
I could use another headset, if that is the case. Someone stepped on mine, so it's a little janky.
Off topic, I hope the Microsoft wireless headset is louder.

God, I hope it is.
And didn't I hear that the wireless headset is going to be $59.99? Better be louder for that price.

Guess I'll hold off on buying Uno then.

So is it a safe bet that the possible unbundled camera is going to be around the $30 mark?

They really seem to be pushing Uno. Hopefully this means more downloadable decks on the way.

And I hope for a patch to fix the freezing.

No kidding. I'm tired of getting kicked offline from playing UNO.

Hasn't happened to me. Does it actually freeze or just stay on the loading screen for a long time?

Wow thats pretty cheap. An extra head set, an extra month of Live, the game, AND UNO? For that price? $30 for the cheapass, but $40 is still a steal.

It will lock up freeze (I have figured out what makes it do it, if you search for custom game and pick (example: draw until play, progressive penalties) and as soon as you join a game it will freeze.) The other thing that has happened to me is during a game some times when someone joins it will have the waiting screen in the middle for the whole game.

I wish they would quit bundling useless crap in. This will be my third headset and a game I already own.
Why couldn't they just drop the price by 10 dollars and then give 400 points away instead?

Has anyone successfully joined a ranked game of UNO? I've tried multiple times but it just keeps searching...

I did , that was the 1st time it locked up on me .
It was after the 1st hand ended , and the summary was up on the screen .
I stayed in the game , my cards were automatically played , and I ended up winning the match !
I hope they figure it out the issue . I think it has to do with the ranked stat tracking . I had never had a lockup in this game before .
I would hate for this game's rep to be dragged through the mud by the Sony fanboys .
