The XBox Live Vision

Just got done reading the article over on Xbox.com about the webcam that is set to be released. Here it is if you haven't read it yet -

So, what do you all think of this nifty little gadget?

It'd be great if they incorporate this into games like Texas Hold'Em and some other card games. Nothing like playing a good game of poker and practicing your best poker face! That's the one thing thats always lacking in online poker tournaments. Other than that, I see it pretty much a novelty. Although The game TotemBall sounds very interesting in that the camera is supposedly going to track your movements and then emulate those movements on a character in the game. Now THAT could get interesting (aside from gesturing around like a complete dolt in front of your Xbox).

Who's planning on picking one of these up?? I probably will.

At $40, I'll probably get one. But I hope enough games support it to make it worth having.
