I popped into my local HMV, to check out what events were going on... Yes, there
were certainly sh!tloads of people queueing to play PES6 on the 360 (not the
PS2 version
), so much that they filled the entire floor as a certain
Bobby Zamora, was going to be taking challenges on 32 inch Samsung HDTV' s..
Now the boring stuff is out of the way...
I noticed the 360 webcam sitting nicely perked on the shelf, so I thought to myself
....
Actually, I reminded myself to buy it, as up until that point I completely forgot it
existed!!!
So I took it home, of course I paid a surprising 34.99 for it... I remember reading
somewhere that it was 49.99..
Anyway, I opened the package as you do, and there was... ANOTHER HEADSET!!!!
Wow! It also came with UNO free.. so LAUGHING OUT LOUD to anyone that
bought UNO over X-box Live!!
I turned on the camera and thought to myself... Hmm the resolution seems a bit
odd, but when it comes to these things I usually don' t complain, so I play around
with the dark and light settings, only to find that the picture still stays the same...
O...k?
Totem Ball was the next thing to try out, and as fun as the game is, for GOD' S
SAKE it nearly ripped the arms out of their sockets. So I put the game down, then
I thought:
" Well, the game did recommend to play standing up." Duh!
It still didn' t make a difference, ok, so it was a bit easier to move your arms up
and down frantically...
After a while I left Totem Ball rolling and rolling into the " delete content" field.
Then decided what to do about this shoddy resolution I was getting from the
camera. So I picked the camera up and noticed that it was getting quite warm...
(Why do all M$ products heat up so quickly?)
It was then i figured you could actually turn the lens to get focus... (Duh! Again!)
So after making a few funny delayed faces... I started contemplating about fear of
a fully naked ecstatic Halo 3 player, and some nut that plays GoW with nothing
but one of those hockey masks on, boxers and a boobtube...
SO far, I am having fun with the camera, I hope a lot of games use it in the future,
ie make your own posters in games and put them for comedic value..
Or something along those lines, the whole camera quality is pretty sturdy for
a webcam, I haven' t really seen a webcam that has as high detail as the Xbox
one..
I also can' t wait to map my face on Rainbow Six, and then map a grenade to Majik' s
face!
