I think the Eyetoy is a great idea in theory, and in practice it's quite fun after a night out or if you want something a bit different, but there are so many more possibilities.
If Sony had allowed the camera to zoom then you could have your whole body on screen instead of just your upper half. This would open up a world of new things to do;
Full on Dancing
---------------
Sure, Eyetoy Groove is fun with all those licenced songs, but what you really want is to see your whole body on the screen, legs flying all over the place and arms waving like a monkey on steroids. Just imagine having to provide accurate movements to the Cheeky Girls song or doing the Timewarp and being marked out of 10.
1 on 1 fighting

Yeah, you can beat up a robot on the eyetoy, but how about going against a real boxer in the ring and being able to move your whole body around? Go up against Tyson (watch your ears), Bruno in a pantomine costume and many others. You could even try kick-boxing and if you're in to hugging big sweaty men, you could try wrestling.
Vice City - Street Mission
---------
Why not let yourself go with a full body Eyetoy version of Grand Theft Auto Vice City? You may not be able to drive, but wonder around picking up weapons and challenging the police.
Real Unreal
-----------
FPS games will seem boring after playing this. Face your enemy head on over broadband and actually see them as you blow them to bits. Watch the glory as you frag all your mates rather than a boring computer created character.
See Sony - you could make it so much more entertaining...

It would make it a whole lot better...
Still the huge success will no doubt meant that there will be an Eyetoy for the PS3.
I knew a couple of guys who put themselves into Unreal. Took quite a lot of work, but it was very funny watching them play it.

It would be even better if it was realtime though, all the actions you could do when you killed someone...
I envisage a time when you can actually put yourself into a computer game, like the film the lawnmower man. then you could be 10 bells of sh** out of your mates safely in a computer game.
you could rip out their spleen and it wouldn't matter.
murder may be a thing of the past ....

Until someone wires up the system so that when you are murdered in the game, it also happens in real life too...
Ok Ok your linking Matrix with Lawnmower Man....Nice :ŹD
You could have a game of D&D live. And dress up.

Boxing in 3D by doning a pair of gloves. You can even hook your hand around the back of a computer character and pull them towards you. It's a pretty impressive system!

could have made the eyetoy portable with a little memory, then u could of use it like a camara, but there could be a game that went with this or features in games that turns videos and images into computer graphics and enviornments, u could then play in these enviornments in your games, for example, your room as your starting base in GTA or your local playing field for a england international.
this would also alow great likeneses for games like THUG, and maybe even full body modals of your mates for characters in games.
of course if the people or image was in close proximetry to your PS2 and eyetoy, it wouldent need memory and some of these ideas could happen.

Perfect idea for Manhunt >:D
"That'll teach you for sponging bus fare from me all the time!"
*To stabbing motion*
"Your. Mum. Came. Onto. Me! Not. The. Other. Way. Round!"
*with nailgun to mate's temple*
"You tight b*****d! Didn't even get a single round in last night!"
