I've had the Vision for over a year, and I'm afraid it hasn't proved to be worth the £30 I paid for it.

The camera is lackluster at best. The PlayStation 2 EyeToy has a better quality camera, and it has a microphone built in. It also has a much better framerate, whereas the Vision will struggle to hit even 20FPS in a brightly lit area.

There isn't much out on the 360 to justify the Vision as must-have. Some games (Rainbow Six Vegas 1 & 2, FaceBreaker, etc.) do allow you to put your face in the game, but every time I do it, I look like a cross between Gollum, and one of those made-up faces they put together on Crimewatch!

You can video chat on the 360, but for me, it is never used. I've only ever used it once. Everyone on my friends list prefers using a regular voice chat. This is mainly because if you want to have a video chat, you can only do it on the dashboard, and you can't do anything else while you're chatting, which makes it pretty much useless.

My opinion is if you are keen on video chatting, and you really want to put yourself in a game, then by all means go for it, but approach with caution!
