Microsoft - stop making yourself look bad.  This is becoming embarassing.

With just under a fortnight to go before folks go a-grabbin' for Sony's PlayStation Eye, a Senior Producer for SCEA has come forward with a few more lingering details about the peripheral. For starters, Sony apparently has plans to integrate the device into other upcoming titles such as SingStar, which will enable users to "make their own personalized music videos to share with family and friends online." Additionally, the EyeCreate software -- which will allow individuals to "save, edit and share PlayStation Eye videos, photos and audio clips" through their PS3 -- will be available as a free download on the PlayStation Store. Finally, those not interested in the bundled Eye of Judgment game can opt for a standalone unit on October 23rd, which is set to ring up at $39.99.

See that part in bold?  Yah, you can't do any of that with the XBL Vision, and that makes me really mad.  Why would you give someone a camera and not give them the ability to save pictures or video?

Yea, I have seen Sony's promises before that never seem to pan out. Not that this would make me purchase a PS3 anyway, but I'm sure there will some excuse why they weren't able to deliver on what they say. I still remember what Sony promised would be possible with the PS2 HDD. If I remember correctly they delivered on none of their promises.

Even if the Eye Toy is better....I would hardly argue that the Live Cam makes Microsoft look bad...I never really saw it as core strategy of the 360 - more of a fun add-on.

Who cares about this eye-crap anyway? If I want to take a photo, I'll use a real camera. If I want to "make a music video to share with my family", I'll get my head examined!
