@BuyingPowerTools_GitEmSteveDave: +1 for reference.

@RobotVampire: I can lend you mine. I recommend running it through the dishwasher first.

Dallifornia

@psychiccheese: Real life Russian Roulette, coming exclusively to the PS3.

@housemaster22: those arcs between 104 and 108 IMO would indicate it's wireless

freddyg

Is the Eyetoy wireless? I'm taking it that Fig 108 is the PS3 and Fig 104 is the Eyetoy right? And Fig 100 is air.

housemaster22

Honestly, what's shown here doesn't compare to what Natal is supposed to be, but who knows? Maybe Sony will impress us.

@Zordon: LOL

@darkstar: I'm pretty sure you can use dead animals as well. I'd wait until rigamortis though -- it'll give you the upper-carcas!

D.E.P.C. is on a Sexpedition

@Bloodboiler: lol

My dog is much bigger than a chihuahua, but I have cats! A cat will hurt you far more though. They're never happy about anything.

@newgalactic: Well yeah this patent is for using random objects as motion controllers, but Eyetoy's done all the head, hand n that lot for donkeys.

@Matingmonkey is a proud eMac owner: Brody, when a doctor says it's average, it's a nice way of saying it's small.

+ Watch video

@RobotVampire: I'm guessing "Battle For The Center Of Uranus" isn't going to be a popular title,somehow...

@Bloodboiler: The doctor said it was average.

@dsectric: I was going to play WoW with a ham sandwich...but then I ate the 'controller' *nom*nom*nom*

@Matingmonkey is a proud eMac owner: Will the soundtrack be 'Tiny Dancer'? ;0)

so now the ps3 will have more accessories than the wii?

@bill cant fart: You forgot eyes and ears and mouth and nose!

It's too bad really. Sony just does everything wrong and somehow the 3rd parties just keep them in business. This will not happen for long. Their next playstation will be their last and we will have Microsoft/Nintendo which will probably become Microsoft/Applendo in the near future.

Joe Lachiana

lol, "Chihuahua" :' )
I'm still not fully understanding this concept though, I hope sony makes it more clear as to what you can do and how its done. Or the next frag you throw in your online game of call of duty, might be a pile of shit!

nerve11

@bill cant fart: I'm gonna use a loaded gun!

psychiccheese

@Gearhead_42: Why do you have to take the fucking fun out of everything!

@dsectric: I'm going to use a Panda Bear. There, FUCK YOU.
Just Kidding

i thought you weren't supposed to place consoles on the floor due them sucking in dirt and what not.

yungjerry703

This has been done a long time ago, guys.

@newgalactic: Heeeeeeeeeead shoulders knees and toes! Knees and toes! Head shoulders knees and toes!

@dsectric: Oh yeah? Well I'm gonna use a rottweiler!

Still sounds like the scanned object only provides one point of motion control. While Natal provides multi-point control via your hands, feet, knees, head.

newgalactic

remember that whole thing where idiots were throwing their Wii remotes into the TV? and then Nintendo had to issue straps and gel cases to everyone. Yeah. I'd like to see a strap for a "War and Peace"

Colbert SuperNationalist

@Matingmonkey is a proud eMac owner: I'm afraid there will be a minimum size for objects that can be tracked.

Bloodboiler

@Gearhead_42:
Ah, good for the economy anyhow...

@RobotVampire:
I'd actually buy one specifically for that purpose...

@ibelli:
Well, somebody would inevitably say it, why not him?

Note for FPS fans... do not use loaded pistol as controller.

I see flatscreen sales spiking upwards after this is released ;-)

Gearhead_42

@Matingmonkey is a proud eMac owner: Very Funny.

ibelli

@Deimos_Anomaly: Very Clever.

One more peice to the holodeck, falls into place

Uncletwitch

I don't know, Sony was first with the camera thing, but Microsoft indeed pefectioned the system.
Let Sony have another shot at the eye toy , so we could have some competition between the 2

Amir Oulad

So you could control a lightsaber battle with a double-sided dildo?! I mean, if you had one, which I don't. I mean, why would I have one... I don't even know what that is, seriously.

RobotVampire

That guy in their patent drawing looks just like their projected user base, too.

Zordon

I will be the first person to play Killzone 2 with a chihuahua.

dsectric

they had talked about this for awhile, i mean just look at the eyepet thats supposed to come out, pretty much same concept

I wil map it to my dick. there, I said it,I aint trying to hide stuff.

Matingmonkey is a proud eMac owner

Maybe I will map it to my Wiimote.

Deimos_Anomaly

I'm pretty sure that I've seen a video of Sony demoing something like this when they first started talking about the possibilities with the PS3Eye (whatever it's called). Not really a new idea, so I don't think this is Sony playing 'catch up'.

bspence

But since it's Sony, they will require you to have a Sony branded coffee mug, Sony branded chihuahua, etc, for this to work. FAIL.

If I can cast magic spells using a dildo, I will by a happy man.
