would be nice if the ps3 had that feature built into the OS so all you would have to buy is the HD IP Eyetoy.

if thats not cool i dunno what is

 

[pjbliverpool]

Its a cool feature, but its nothing that can't already be done on MSN equally well if not better.

 

[hey69]

what has that to do with a PC and MSN?

I believe all those eyetoy stuff and online camera stuff will be a big part in the PS3 Os.

I think that's a cert. At E3 Sony described being able to pull up video chat in games, or moving it onto a second screen to dedicate your main screen to just the game if you wish. You'll also be able to browse the web while playing games, if you wish, so that could allow other forms of web-based communication (although video chat would seem to be the best option anyway!)

I really like the interface for the Chat.
I'm getting impatient to know what the PS3 will or won't have.

 

[pc999]

I think the camera will came with the console, at least that has their plan.

 

[Bad_Boy]

I think it will be separate. UNLESS they make a two SKU deal.

When is Eyetoy: Chat getting released?

 

[Bad_Boy]

Release Date:
US: February 1, 2006
Europe: September 30, 2004

Ign says Feb 1st 06. but its kinda weird, says its been out in europe since september 2004.
has it really?

 

[parrapa]

yes certainly has, but have not tried it yet....

And since Sony said that they wouldn't want to cause confusion, I doubt it will be released with the console. Although, I would be glad if it came bundled with the console at $349. It would really help the EyeToy become used a lot more in games, as well as the games designed specifically for it.

January seems like a long time from now, PS3 news has been dry since...well, the Summer. Online, RSX, and controller are the three things that I NEED info on...now. Heavenly Sword, I-8, and WarHawk as well.

 

[PARANOiA]

Hrmm I can see this feature being abused in not so pleasant ways *shudder*. Think about shitcocks on Live, and add video *shudder*. Or CS sprays. Or many other things.

Last thing I need is for some dude to flash his junk in a last ditch effort to stop me from winning in checkers by distracting me by flashing his junk

;_;

King me.

if a guy flashes his "junk" at you while playing checkers, the last thing youll be thinking about is winning the game.

I'll be to disturbed to finish. It can backfire though, me seeing his junk will just make me finish the game much quicker. It will be an akward few seconds though...

 

[mckmas8808]

Yeah this would be a great feature to add to the PS3's OS. This would be nice to have too if I wouldn't be seeing the girlfriend for a few weeks. Maybe I could buy her a PS3 and we could have some fun. *rubs hands together*

I think Chatani said this will be built into the Operating System.

Media browsing and network interface are built in to the Operating System and allow the user to handle multiple tasks simultaneously even while playing a game. Video calls can be made and received, music and streaming media browsed.

From Sonys E3 slide

My speculation:
Communication = Sony HD IP Camera/EyeToy + Voice Chat.

 

[Bad_Boy]

Thats pretty interesting. I hope your speculation is true.
Another slide that mentions the "Communication"

"Video Communication"

 

[pc999]

My speculation:
Communication = Sony HD IP Camera/EyeToy + Voice Chat.

Me too as standard, it can really bring some innovations in game (see my sig).
