SR claims that the Eye Toy is unique. However it does seem remarkably similar the GameBoy Camera released a few years ago. Sorry. I just had to say something about that.

This is how ALL 3D textures are done in videogames, a 2D texture map is applied over a 3D shape/bump map.

The Eye Toy is fantastic and it has surprised me that Nintendo didn't think about making it before Sony!!! The GBA camera only let's you mess your face up and take pictures,the Eye Toy does much more then that. It's superb!! My fav games are Kung Foo the window cleaning one and Mirror time, but the playroom is superb ad well! Excellent.

I'm quite impressed with the Eyetoy. It's a great peripheral.

I was playing this until 6am with my mates on Saturday night!

There's nothing boring about the games either - I assume you have to be a fan of that kind of game to begin with. It's just like Samba de Amigo without the maracas, or Space Channel 5 but you don't need a controller... and the wishi washi game is just unrivalled in any genre! Man that tires you out :-)

The GameBoy Camera did in fact record moving pictures but only for about a few seconds. You could also play games with the pictures you took. So the Eye Toy is very similar to the GB Camera.

As far as the hardware goes, it's fantastic. As far as the games go, it's pretty good. It's just the actual 'EyeToy: Play' game that's boring. But there will be more, and hopefully it will be incorparated into proper games. By the way, isn't this the Nintendo forum?
