DaPhatty vs. XBL Camera - Now with video!!!!

4200+ views on this site alone. Not bad. That damned scan line though... The naked eye cannot see it. I've seen it twice now @ 1080i. :D

Cheap Ass Gamer daphatty ran into a camera beta tester while playing a game recently, only to fumble when trying to record it for posterity proof.

Awhile back on one of major nelsons blogcasts he had the acessory guy on said the camera runs at 30fps. Thats tv quality. There was also going aroudnt hat the camera was going to be 40 bucks i hope it is.

LOL! I'm just a one-hit wonder. That is, of course, unless I catch another beta tester slipping. (Something tells me I'm a marked man within the beta tester inner circle though.) Regardless, until I have a weekly spot on a podcast of my own I'd say your fame is pretty well intact.

On that note, more stats from YouTube:

That damned scan line is ruining my rating though. Only 2.5 stars. Maybe I should video tape my gaming sessions...

Daphatty has a ways to go before he dethrones my Youtube upload...

...of course, mine lacks dog ass. :(


And how many OTHER CAGs are featured on the packaging of a
Hanson DVD?!?
I know that will get me ultimate street cred around here.

I'll be signing autographs behind the stage door in the alley. And possibly giving sexual favors for crack money.

[quote name='thagoat']i hope i can use a regular usb camera so i don't have to buy one.[/QUOTE]I believe Major Nelson's related Blogcast on the topic clearly stated that any off-the-shelf USB camera will NOT work with the 360's Vision set-up. At least the 360 camera should work fine with Windows PCs (which might not be much consolation here).

[/QUOTE]Sorry, couldn't find the kit you described here, but I did find a simpler Vision camera listing for $39.99 at the link below when I searched EB for "Live Vision camera":

http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product_id=802339 (Update: if that link doesn't come out right when you click on it, try copying and pasting what I have into a different web-browser window/tab. The pic of the camera does show up correctly for me, however.)

As for the contents of the camera package, I'm guessing that it comes with everything you have here except for the headset, ringing up for that same $39.99 total. I base that on the following Joystiq post I threw up online at the beginning of June (old... sure -- but has anything official been posted since?):

http://www.joystiq.com/2006/06/02/40-xbl-vision-camera-and-uno-bundle-detailed-by-ms-source-along-w/

Nothing's written in stone, of course, but I'm wondering if EB just put that package together to try and sell a headset bundle at a higher price. Link (from EB's site)?

WOW if it cost 80.00....forget it....now 40.00 I'd bite, but 80.00 is way to much to ask.

Also, I wonder if this would work with a mac.
