VINE™ VOICE
Fun:
5.0 out of 5 stars
This camera is available in two packages - this is the basic package and comes with the Xbox 360 Live Vision Camera, a headset that you probably already have, and a code redeemable on the Xbox Live Marketplace for the game UNO (which supports the camera in online play) and also 1 month of Xbox Live Gold service.
The camera itself is a well-designed little unit. You have to set the focus of the camera using the ring around the lens. The quality of video and still pictures taken through the Xbox dashboard is pretty good as long as you're in a reasonably well-lit room. It's a VGA camera (640x480 pixels) so it's not HD. 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, no software update necessary. The camera has a built-in base/stand with a rubber footpad so you can set it next to your TV. You can also use it as a regular webcam with your PC, and as of OSX 10.4.9 onwards it will work as a webcam on any Mac; I use it with Skype on my older iBook and it works great.
Overall it's a nice little add-on for your Xbox. Video chat is a nice feature if you have friends or family with an Xbox 360. There are a few games that support using the camera to map your face onto your on-screen character, which is fun. Games like Totemball are be played by actually moving your arms around in front of the camera so it does open up a lot of opportunities for new experiences with your Xbox.
For parents worried about their kids using this: when playing camera-enabled games you will see other people's video stream whether you have the camera or not, so buying this camera doesn't make any difference to what you will see. In your account preferences you can enable or disable sending or receiving video for any game.

With the iSight no longer for sale, there are few alternatives for users of older Macs looking to use the video features of iChat AV. This camera works perfectly.
The quality is decent and it's very small. Not a ton of extra features, but it works right out of the box without any other software. That is far better than lots of bells and whistles that only work OK.
I don't own an xBox and can't speak to how this camera is for that, but it's a great camera to use with my computer and far cheaper (and better) than most aftermarket webcams.

I bought this camera on an impulse. Here are my thoughts:
Right now, I'd say it's not worth a whole lot. As of October 9, 2006, it only has three functions. You can use it on Uno, Totemball, Billiard Games and for video chat with friends on Xbox Live. Additionally, you plug it up into your Windows PC and use it as a web cam.
However, if you're getting this for your Xbox360 (which you probably are), I say wait until there's a good reason to buy it. Totemball is an absolutely terrible game, and unless you want to people to see you while you're playing Uno, there's not much point in getting it yet.
I say hold off until it's functional with a few more games before rushing out and getting it. It's definitely nice to have, and anyone wanting to get the most out of their 360 should check it out, but it's just not too important just yet.
EDIT: As of June 2007, the camera is functional with a few titles. The most notable is Command and Conquer 3, in which you can view your opponent's face when you obliterate their army. It is a nice touch to the game. Still not entirely necessary for the Xbox 360, but nice to have nonetheless.

I love this camera!
Amazing picture/video quality, pretty good durability, and relatively cheap. this thing reads better than a freaking Kinect and costs way less.

Serves it's purpose
It's fun to be able to unlock the mystique by putting your picture on your xbox live profile. Cheap, yet, effective.

Camera is great but...
This add is very deceiving. You do get the camera, but not with the retail packaging and not with the headset! The item also did not come with a printed receipt. Read more

Grandpa has a camera!
I needed this to view the family during chat. It works great but makes me get dressed while in use. I even need a shave before use. I thought retirement was going to be easy.

Solid webcam
If you want a cheap webcam that does the trick, buy this. I'd still be using it had I not upgraded to an expensive cam.

Awesome product but does not come with the original packing.
It's a great camera overall, but I'm a tad disappointed. It didn't come with UNO, a 1 month of XBL or even a spare mic. Or heck even in it's original packaging. Read more

Nice
I purchased this about over three years ago and I still have it until this day. It works great, and can actually be used on your PC or laptop as well.
