i was just wondering is the xbox 360 vision camera worth getting. b/c the only achievement that i can get from it would be the r6: vegas one of inputting your face into the game.
i dunno i just got some extra cash and wanted to know if it is worth buying???

I got mine at Sam's Club, and in that regards, it was totally worth it. They sell (or did sell,) XBL 12 month subscriptions with the vision cam there for $60. Since the same thing was $85 at Wally World - well, you do the math. It's kinda fun being able to take my own gamerpic, plus any time someone beats me online, it's nice to be able to flip them off to their face. :nana

TotemBall on the Arcade is free but requires a VisionCam, I could not tell you what its like since I don't own one :P

I answered NO, because the gaagels do nathing!
If they'd add a stats counting feature to it then it might be worth getting. (you have been caught mastubating! That makes it 4 times today, with average of 6,3/day)
I too found little use for it. Other than the R6V achievement and taking pictures of police cars I barely use it, so it hasn't really paid for itself.
If you are planning on getting one, be sure to find the best deal you can. Often place on the internet will bundle them with XBL subscriptions so when you need to renew it you could look out for a good deal.

Personally i enjoy mine, but it came for 60$ like the above poster said with my 12 month subscription. I use it for talking to a bunch of my friends that go to different colleges sometimes and my girlfriend uses it whenever she plays uno. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy one though. I tried totem ball and couldnt even move my dude.

Its kinda cool, if your strapped for cash though its not worth it. Being able to drink with friends over XBL is pretty damn cool and im hopeing that more games with use the face maping technology. I think eventually more games will use XBLV so you can always buy it later. But I have one and like it so i voted yes.

I got mine with said bundle. So I voted yes because I got those 30 points from Rainbow and I rented it to a friend for 10 bucks so he could get that ach. Hahaha.

I say yes because the only thing holding it back is the lack of games to use it on, but that is gonna change soon.

I voted 'no' because thats the only thing good thats comes out of buying one, unless you play UNO online a lot. I'd wait to buy one because there aren't really that many great games to use it with.

$40 for a 30GS doesn't seem worth it, unless you're using it for more than that. If you had family with a 360 or something. Only reason I would get one is to have the most unique gamer picture. Get one used if you do decide to buy it.

i think it's worth it because u can do lots of things with it because it makes uno way more fun and worth it even though i have 200 in it and same with lots of arcade games that support the camera

If you said no because there's not much gamerscore involved, then you need to get a life cuz you shouldn't just get stuff for gamerscore. Besides, it makes UNO a hell of a lot funner. Yea, go for it dude

Wrong place for that kind of message there dude. A site dedicated to gamerscore probably isn't going to have many people that don't care at least a little bit about achievements.

i just got the camera, xbl 12 month subscription, uno, robotron, & 200 MS points for $60...not too bad of a deal if u ask me and just from the small amount of time I've had it it has already been pretty fun to use
TimmayTheTurtle
08-03-2007, 05:04 AM
well i might get it if more xbla games come with camera enabled options.
or something like ps2's eyetoy

I voted no. I do own it but there are pratically no games out there which support it.
Overall I got a good price so I can't complain too much since it came w/ an extra year of XBL but it hasn't been plugged in for months.

I can't see any real use for it, spend the cash on somat useful like a new game or a hooker

I plan on getting one eventually but its really only worth it if you like to play a lot of uno and board games n such.

I bought it around Christmas to use it with my Vegas character. But now I use in in the few arcade games that support it and to occasionally send a picture to a friend.
Overall, I would say it is worth it.

I don't like them, especially the part where any sick pervert can send you a picture of there balls... it's pretty gross. (Yes that has happened to me)
also some random person sent me a picture of them totally naked... weirdest experience of my life.
Its worth it if you get it with the 12 month subscription pack,
http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/1720595/XBox360-Live-Vision-Camera-12-Month-Live-Gold-Subscription/Product.html
£10 more than the usual gold 12 month price,
and you get
Vision camera,
uno game,
and a spare headset.
If sold all seperatley they would cost a lot more than £10.

My Xbox Live subscription ran out sometime this past March and it was then that I purchased the Xbox Live Gold Subscription Pack. It came with the 12 Months, Webcam, and a wired headset so I didn't really have to purchase the webcam seperate. I haven't really used it much in games other than for the R6 achievement and a couple of arcade games here and there, but it did make Uno that much more interesting. Fun times... Fun times. :drunk

Tiger woods 08 is going to use it, that will be awesome playing online with your face; im going to get it for that

I think the only other retail game that uses the vision cam besides R6 Vegas is Rayman, which honestly sucked. I don't really use it all that often so I would say avoid it for now.

I installed it on my 360 and got the Rainbow achievement. Haven't used it since.
Best of all though, my girlfriend bought it so it didn't cost me a damn thing !

I use it for Uno cause if you don't have a camera you usually get kicked AND you can use it in various arcade games and in Rainbow Six,, Rayman (A really good game for $20) and to scan your face on a lot of other game...
I bought it got a camera, a free uno code and a free month of live...

They can send you pics w/o a camera... trust me I experienced pics before and after my camera...
