Put some pants on: PS3 Eye Camera going for $23 at Amazon photo

At first, the PS3 Eye and the silly little PlayStation Network apps seemed cool, but they weren't cool enough for the $39.99 price tag. And then Eye of Judgement came along. And then SingStar PS3. Still tempted, but you're still cheap, right? Did LittleBigPlanet put you over the edge?

You can feel better about the purchase of the PS3 Eye now that Amazon has it on sale for $22.98. The price drop now has it ranked #3 on the hourly sales charts, rigth up there with Wii Fit and the Wii console itself. Not bad!

[Update: You can still order, but they've sold out of current stock already! More are scheduled to arrive in less than a week, though.]

A very underrated feature of the PS3 Eye is its awesome microphone.

My PS3 Eye sits on top of my tv 10 feet away from where I sit. I can talk in a normal voice, and it picks it up loud and clear! Just send the output through the TV speakers, and you won't need a headset mic.

And its a good camera too, especially for custom textures in LittleBigPlanet.

I just bought a PS3 yesterday, this is suddenly relevant to my interests. Can I buy eye of judgment as just the game?

Your update says you can still order it, but I can't figure out how. All that shows up are resellers that are more expensive.

Anyone know how to order it?

Yeah, its great! It picks up your voice, it picks up your mom complaining in the background, it picks up the goddamn game that you are playing, the neighbor dog and every car in a 2 mile radius. Seriously, I've come used to muting people in burnout when they are using the PS3 eye because they constantly spit out a stream of ASHFFF(*&SHHHHWWWWWWEEEERGGHHHHHWOOOOOOOOOOO. Those people are not even talking it's just the bloody camera picking everything around.

Its sucks. It sucks BAD. Get a headset, change input to it, and use the camere just for pictures.

@Cbunn,

I've never had any complaints. Then again, I game alone, with no loved ones or pets to keep me company lol

I need this but I also need money for games and food. I remember I used to always have money when I just owned the Wii *sigh*.
