360 Vision Camera question(s)...

[Jebus]

I remember watching the demo of this (Major Nelson's podcast one) and it looked like it was wireless as well, true/false?

Also, is there any way of mounting this on top of the TV, does it angle etc, because my TV is on the wall and if I put it with the unit below it, my son would probably attempt to eat it.

Thanks in advance.

It uses a usb cable to connect. It's pretty small so a bit of blu-tac should hold it in place if it doesn't balance on top of the TV. It does angle. It's not edible.

Ok, a few further questions...how long is the usb cable, as all my cables run from the unit under the TV via some trunking up to the TV...I'd want the camera above the TV.

Finally...do you think it's worth ?29.99 for it...do you use it much?

[Paulos G]

It's about 280cm from usb end to camera end (who knew that pink tape measure would one day come in handy)?

I bought it for ?49.99 which included a year's Live membership, a headset, UNO and Robotron: I think that was pretty good value. I don't use it that much but it is fun being able to set your own gamer picture and I enjoyed putting faces to some people (who I only knew by gamer tag and voice) in video chat.

Could I live without it? Yes. Am I glad I've got it? Yes.

If you do go ahead and get one I'll be happy to play UNO with you so you feel you're getting the most out of it!

Edit: forgot to mention that there's a First Play thread about the camera in case you haven't see it.

Thanks for the replies mate.

Only prob for me is that I have everything it comes with except the camera, and I was planning on buying the wiresless headset soon!

[Paulos G]

No worries.

Some places are selling it for ?25.99. You could always sell the headset and UNO code in the trading forum.

I have two headsets and still want the wireless one!

I'm going to be selling mine if you're interested Jebus?

I've used the Uno code but it comes with everything else that was bundled with it (1 month trial sub, unused headset etc.). ?20 incl. 1st class recorded?

[Jebus]

Mr nook, yes please! PM me paypal details!

Any chance you'd do it for ?15 without the headset, because I really don't need another one? If no, I'll still take it!
