Title: ps2 eyetoy alternative?
Post by: phreak97 on December 12, 2004, 12:43:29 AM
i found out recently that the ps2 eyetoy is nothing but a d-link usb webcam. and yes, it will work fine on a pc with standard d-link webcam drivers. that is not why i am posting however. im interested in finding an alternative eyetoy. is there anyone out there with a regular d-link pc webcam and a copy of eyetoy-play who wants to plug the webcam into their ps2 and let us all know of the results? to be honest i'd be suprised if it works, but its an interesting experiment.

Don't you get an EyeToy with every EyeToy game anyway?

Only on specially marked boxes. And even then, you still can't have it until you finish all your cereal. :)

No really, many Eyetoy game are available by themselves for people who already own one. Because sales of the original Eyetoy and its pack-in game weren't as big as Sony had anticipated, it's probably more logical to conclude that they're packing in the hardware with the software, rather than the other way around. It's not a situation like the Dreamcast microphone, where they were sure that the general public didn't already have one.

-KKC, who's ready to add 802.11b connectivity to his Dreamcast for no particular reason...

you definately can buy eyetoy games without the eyetoy, concidering there are a whole range of games which support eyetoy. i have ddr festival (japanese) and ddr extreme (usa) and at least one of them supports eyetoy, i would like to try out the eyetoy games but im over 60% sure i'd probably play them only once, so i dont want to spend the money on a sony eyetoy just yet.

Mmm... crunchy... :D

Actually I saw some in a catalog recently... only about AU$20 difference between the version with & without. I would have thought that was cheaper than most webcams?

(Or is the problem that people don't want the included games?)
