This review is from: Xbox 360 Live Camera Bundle (Video Game)
This package comes with the Xbox 360 Live Vision Camera, a headset that you probably already have, and codes redeemable on the Xbox Live Marketplace for: UNO (which supports the camera in online play), Robotron 2084 (which is NOT a camera-enabled game), 200 Microsoft points, and finally 12 months of Xbox Live Gold service. Considering the Xbox Live Gold service runs around $50 by itself, this package is a great deal.
Note that the official press releases mentioned Totemball being included. It is NOT included, but you can now download the game for free from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
The camera itself is very nice. It's very small and has a focus ring on the front. The quality of video and still pictures is great. It's easy to install, you just plug it into your Xbox in the front or back USB port and you're good to go. You can also use it as a regular webcam with your PC. It currently does not work with Macs but Mac support is promised soon from Microsoft as their...Read more

alright, let's do the math. This thing is only fifteen bucks more than regular xbox live. What do you get for fifteen more dollars?
1.) XBOX Vision Camera (worth around 30-40)
2.) 200 microsoft points (worth $2.50)
3.) 2 Arcade games (worth $20)
4.) XBOX headset (worth $15)
get it.

Watch for sales!,

I got this bundle October 2006 at Best Buy for $50, less an additional $5 for using a Best Buy Gamer Gift Card which has a $5 off coupon applicable toward games and gaming accessories. The price on this is not horrible, but if you watch out for sales you just might get lucky and get a real value.
The camera itself is of fair quality. Be warned - you need to have adequate lighting in the room, preferably in front of you (coming from the same direction as the camera, and who really has lights next to their TV?) in order to get a decent image out of it. For games like TotemBall, which actually use the camera as the game's controller, this is essential. Not enough light means the camera will not do a very good job of reading your movements and translating them to movement in the game.
In my bundle I got the 200 MS points as well as codes to unlock Uno and one other XBLA game (can't remember which). I had already used points to buy Uno, so I gave the code to a...Read more
