    drivers have been found that work with the eyetoy for the pc!

    I have tried this myself and it does work!! This is not bogus, this is for real. This only been confirmed by me with the windows 2000 drivers

    the full orginal instructions are here:

    It's very easy to do and quite straight forward. I am now using it on my pc and it works a treat and also there's a built in mic which is very handy for net meeting/video conferencing over the web

    How much is this, and how many frames per second do you get/ is it significantly better than the normal webcams?

    Have to try out using my webcam. It's a cheapo, but hey, I'm not going to be using it as a mirror:p, so it doesn't matter. It would be good to use a good quality one though, if I go abroad for talking to the family.

    What's yahoo messenger like anyway? Is there many spacers out there?

    That's what a picture looks like (of me hungover in dressing gown in the morning)

    Regarding Nexus9's questions it's just a normal USB VGA webcam. Most cheapo webcams are not VGA (in other words 640x480 resolution capture).

    The price is relatively cheap at around 50 eurodollars as Sony expects owners of the eyetoy to buy new games for it which they get a cut of in licensing.

    Now if you'll excuse me I want to video the back of my head because I've never seen it before.

    P.S DrEvil, you have done us all a great service here today. And Nexus9, heard of google?

    I want rather to get personal varying responses from my questions (I'm not lazy!).
    From the screenshot, it seems pretty good.

    Actually that was at 320x200. It does 640x480 as you can see on my webcam page thing here:

    Doesn't seem to like recording video at 640x480 but that could be the software I'm using.
