PS Eye gets price, date News
PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation Eye will be out in Europe on 7th November.
It will cost you GBP 24.99 and come bundled with a free copy of editing suite EyeCreate, which lets you snap pictures, video, and audio clips before saving them to your hard drive.
The new hardware also comes as part of The Eye of Judgement retail box, which will be out on 26th October. And Sony promises you will be able to claim a free copy of EyeCreate from the PlayStation Store using a magical code.
Thursday 25th October also sees the release of Eye compatible games Operation Create Feature, Aqua Vita and The Trials of Topoq, a game where you have to roll a ball around maps using your body as the controller.
The PlayStation Eye has four-times the resolution, twice the frame-rate and double the sensitivity of the EyeToy on PS2, as well as a powerful microphone that can focus on certain audio inputs like you - discarding the need for a separate headset to communicate.
You can see it in action on Eurogamer TV, showing off its stop-motion capabilities, or pop into our PS Eye gallery to see what it looks like.
Keep an, er, eye out for our Eye of Judgement review soon.

First a price cut, now the Eye toy. Maybe Kaz Hirai was right. The next generation does not start until Sony says so.
Not impressed. |

As deep as your pockets go,
it's a trading card game so it costs plenty if you actually want to win. |

Cheap as chips. Hopefully the build quality will be as robust as the PS3.

I can see it now, wandering through PSN "Home" into a friend's "space" and realising he's left the "Eye" switched on whilst playing craps with a Jenna Jameson magazine...Oh wait that's not dice!

Nice price, and it all sounds a bit better than Microsoft's, frankly piss poor, effort. Which now reflecting back on its release was definitely a case of ''Anything Sony can do, we can do too....Just not quite as well....And we'll never release any software that makes use of it:/''

Agreed, apart from the ability to see other Xbox Live gamers and them you, the 360's webcam is a poor effort and I'm so glad I didn't rush out and buy one on impulse. At least, you know that following the success of the original EyeToy that Sony will release games for the PS3 equivalent, that use it more inventive ways than being able see someone flash their dick at you online and/or use it for a Gamercard picture! ;)

"it's a trading card game so it costs plenty if you actually want to win."
Starter pack seems complete enough, though I've never played a battle cards game so I don't know if 38 cards is adequate, loads or barely enough. http://news.filefront.com/eye-of-judgmen... Play.com has the starter pack listed for £60, with expansion packs mostly coming in at £7. |

I'm seriously looking forward to Eye of Judgement. And I don't even own a PS3 yet. Still, I managed to pre-order it for £40. God bless Game's First To Play pre-order scheme.
Be my first camera-based peripheral, too, so that should be fun. |

It's all part of an evil plan to bring Sony to the collectible cards business. You'll see...
I was interested until I realised that the game has booster packs and so on, just like Magic... Hmmm.... |

Probbaly like most trading card games,
If you're going to play with just the starter packs it will be fun for a few games. But you'll soon find that the tactics are rather limited without more cards to select your decks from. Can you play it online? |

Hope Trials of Topoq is better than the fairly awful Totemball on the 360, sounds fairly similar tho'.

I doubt it will cost £60, it will be £50 rrp, including the Eye, I reckon.

Game had it listed at £40 until a couple of weeks ago, when they jacked the price up to £60. I imagine the price was changed for a reason (ie: the RRP was released to retailers), rather than just a guess.
I wouldn't expect the price to change any time soon. |

The Trials of Topoq, a game where you have to roll a ball around maps using your body as the controller.
Hadn't heard of that one before, but it sounds like the version of Super Monkeyball included in the Sega Superstars EyeToy pack for the PS2, which was actually stonking good fun =) |

I was under the impresion that a webcam with the specs of the PSEye was normally alot more expensive than £30. WTF are people moaning about? Were they expecting a 1080p webcam?

I agree with Enzima - when you mention this being available for 'a pony' surely you realise that new European law just sanctioned yesterday or something probably strictly dictates that you should now refer to it as as 'a young horse' i.e "fackin' hell guv I jus got a fackin' ps eye for a fackin' young 'orse. Please buck up your ideas EG or I shall be forced to take this to my European representative Olga Shitburger.
*and you do NOT want to fuck with 'the Shitburger' I kid thee not*
