360 camera

[ONI 23]

Hey guys just thought you might like to know;
My Xbox source was teasing me last weekend with the Xbox camera. Here's my take on what I saw, The picture quality was quite good especially for the price point (I could see all of the detail on his UK only G.R.A.W.faceplate plain as day. Bastard!)
The camera features several lighting settings to improve picture quality in various lighting situations. I also notice very little jumpiness, for example when something moves really fast in front of the cam, like a waiving hand. I know typically this causes some cams to freak out. This was NOT the case with the 360 cam.
They also hinted at several features that will come with the cam such as motion sensative on-screen effects (desktop background will deform / smudge with the wipe of the hand).
I am speculating that it will have many of the features included with the current generation of Logitech cameras (motion tracking and face recognition)

Oh well, just something to think about.

Yeah... and that other thing we talked about in the crewforum :* :X :9~

[JasonA]

I saw a player with his xbox camera on UNO, looks really good quality video. It doesn't jump - plus the pic you see is a lot wider than the original gamerpic image

[Curry]

There's someone else on the forum who already has it (http://forum.xboxic.com/showthread.php?t=562) ;)

[Zerodisorder]

I think i may pick it up for 79.99 seeing as i need to get a new year of gold, and a new headset + the mic + as they said 3 arcade games and 200 mp points, sounds very good to me :D

[Ponder416]

well got my 360 cam, and have offically recieved my first batch of porn...Not really sure who sent it since there not on my friends list...But atleast it was a nice asian chick.lol

Is there away for xbox to know if peeps are using the cam improperly?

At the end of the day your pictures are being hosted on their servers... so as far as there being 'a way' sure... but I doubt it would be too worthwhile for them to do much other than block you from sending / posting pictures.

Giggity giggity giggity on the unexpected porn though.

Send a couple pictures my way, I want to see how it looks. It doesn't have to be porn, I just want to see the quality.

I ordered a camera from an ebay shop xbiteworld today. It says the camera is in stock, but ships without packaging! Does that sound odd to anyone else? He has 15 to sell. Ive bought it anyway using paypal so if somethings wrong I can quickly open a dispute and pull my money back.

[Studley]

I think I can understand why they would ship without packaging. It's a tiny little camera but it comes in a huge box, one of those ones which is impossible to open without a pair of scissors and three trips to the hospital. So it'll be cheaper to post, and you don't need the packaging anyway.

Oh yes TRUE, less the packaging is only a bonus then. You just reminded me of when I nearly lost a finger getting my Hard-Drive out the box.

Not trying to start a war here, but the PS3 eye-toy is HD... this is the HD era... just something I noticed. I kind of wish the 360 cam boasted that as well.

[TRIGGER M4N]

...that will cost two-hundred and nintey-nine US dollars.

To be honest...ok HD is improved picture quality, but with a camera its no big deal. I'd rather pay £40 for a camera than £150 or something for a HD eye as the Video Cam functions in game is only a 4x4 inch box view and cam chat aint much bigger on screen.

Unless the Xbox360 & PS3 did full screen video chat it aint much cop. AND the amount of idiots I've heard through my earpiece, ....would I really want to see them in HD quality video!!!

[Studley]

I don't think resolution is the biggest issue. If you start allowing high-quality image and video transfer, you're gonna start clogging up a lot of Live bandwidth.

[acromyth]

Still just saying, it's one of those things that Sony kids like to talk up, but I see your point. I don't know if I'll get the 360 cam, unless I see games actually utilizing it. All other console cams have been shit...

Usual stuff through.

The sony fan machine just likes to quote that their god like machine does everything better and more powerful without actually looking at what they get out of it.

Wi-Fi, Blu-Ray for instance, all very well and good but is there any real need to make it standard so everyone has to pay for it. So they have now got an HD camera which Studley has already pointed out the flaws concerning resolution, and they have basically alienated any people with a PS3 that doesn't have an HD TV again more moeny for something you won't use which seems to be becoming the PS3's motto.

Buy a PS3, we'll charge you for a load of things you don't need!

[Ponder416]

Ah I found my porn friend, he was on my friends list just changed his name and I didnt realize it. The cam is really cool especially playn UNO.

[JasonA]

Yeah lol, I can see the Sony adverts now...

The PS3 vacuum, washing machine, dishwasher, telephone, fax machine, wifi internet and last but not least a games console.

I do like the Microsoft has given consumers the option. If we want wireless, we'll buy wireless, if we want HD quality movies, we'll buy the HD Dvd. I personally just use a games console as a games console with a wireless adapter on the back. The PS3 is beginning to look and sound like a hyped up laptop. I did prefer the PS2 over original xbox, but the xbox360 has to be about the best console I've ever paid for, and I've gone through quite a lot since my first original Sega Master System...

[Sir SpankalotUK]

since my first original Sega Master System...

what a noob ;)

spectrum was were it was at, you aint live until your waited for 5 minutes with ongoing gurgling noises just to see it crash. Also reminds me the spectrum 48 used to suffer with heat problems, maybe sinclair should have put his millions into cooling for chips rather than the C5.

lol i had one of those little black spectrum ZX 16 in 1985 mate when I was 5yrs old...noob my arse. A spectrum was always thought of as a computer, I wouldn't class it as a console.

As the saying goes: "most people on Live are retarded enough without having to see their testicles."

[JasonA]

I got my cam this morning it is EXCELLENT

Spectrum fanboy fuckers! Amstrad CPC 464 was where it was at!

[Chris]

I got Ponder's image. Great quality.

[XBOX360sucks]

I am a banned loser without a life to the extent that I take time to register and activate accounts on Xbox related forums and spam fanboy bullshit.

All those who own 360's will bow before the PS3.The 360 bites the big one!!!

DAMN RIGHT

I kind of liked the understatedness of just the one comment on one thread after taking the time to register.

Now it just looks like you really have nothing better to do, which is wrong you could still masterbate over your sleeping sister. Or go and finger your pet cat. Or stand outside the local blind school and make strange noises in their ear when they pass you.

[Chris]

Glovner, we don't want to know what you do in your free time.

[The_Glovner]

Glovner, we don't want to know what you do in your free time.

Well I don't have a sister, and I am allergic to cats.

But the blind school one is mine, you can find it in chapter 12 of Glovners things to do when bordem sets in.>:)

[acromyth]

dang glove-man wtf??

I kinda want to see what these spamming douches have to say haha... but still curry, that shit is hilarious...

so the camera is pretty cool, eh? Maybe when I get back I'll check it out... man, it would be cool to shoot my friends in the face in RB6

[The_Glovner]

dang glove-man wtf??



What? Thats pretty tame by my standards. Stick around a while I'll make you feel bad about yourself for even posting in the same room.

[Zerodisorder]

Well I picked up the camera last night so I could also get the year of XBL gold, and it seems like good quality but I have yet to find anything to do with it as of now, but than again all the games to really utilize the camera, are not out yet.

Uno's good with cam, and Hardwood Hearts...
Shame you can't send video messages though.
Video chat is great, but it don't half give you a fucking gruesome personal gamerpic. I look like something out of dead rising.

Give us a good pic to compare. If we scream for the pitchforks you might be right :+

[JasonA]

To see my gamerpic which seems to come out differently than sending a pic, you'd need to send a friend invite to see it, i cant send gamerpics out

[CJ35]

i can't wait only a few days to go for UK now!

[Rival24]

I'm still doubting whether I should get one or not. It's obviously a nice gadget, but it's not really that useful. The expensive package gets you an extra year of Xbox Live and a couple of arcade games which I already own.

Does anybody know what happens when I enter those XBLA codes?

[CJ35]

No thats what i am trying to find out!

Yes, once you've put in the 25 digit code a confirm download screen appears with updates and games.

I bought the cam on its own imported, with no games and no mic as have the games and have a mic, but it comes out in the UK fully next week I think

[CJ35]

thanks

Hi Gents, I picked up my camera last night a few people on my friends list have them so i managed to play a few games of Uno, its really nice little add on. i talking to my older brother about it this morning (he only has a core) and asked do you need to have a hard drive to use the camera??

No, you can just plug it straight in to a USB port. Theres no files associated with it in the hard drive. Plus you can't save pictures you send and receive anyway which is a shame actually...

[Obi]

thanks for the reply dude.

Hell, it would be ridiculous if any console peripheral required a HD imo.

[Fanappy]

what new games will include face mapping????? thats really the only reason i bought the camera

[Rival24]

Rainbow Six: Vegas and a poker game but I forgot the name.

[Fanappy]

yeah i know about r6:vegas seen the screen shots of how it looks very very nice i would love maybe mass effect or Fable 2 to have it as well that would be great

[The_Glovner]

Rainbow Six: Vegas and a poker game but I forgot the name.

Its USA strip texas hold 'em world poker championship max power turbo tour of the UK (or something like that), except the UK tour only consists of three english dates.

I STILL DON'T HAVE MY FULL 5TH STAR BACK!!

[JasonA]

yeah World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions

[The_Glovner]

Aye, what he said.
