195366 2003-11-28 02:18:00 I purchased a PS2 Eyetoy and its brilliant fun..
and have noticed its also a USB, so thought can it be used as a webcam or something on a computer that has usb availablity,
i plugged it into laptop and it said new hardware found but needed a cd or somewhere to install drivers from?

Is there anywhere or is this just a playstation 2 camera ONLY...

195368 2003-11-28 03:32:00 lol sorry if it sounded like advertising...
i'm just asking if its at all possible for it to be used as a webcamera on a computer

i looked on the playstaton website and it didnt mention it, either that or i didnt look hard enough

Sorry to say, but how the heck could Chris' post have been an advertisement!?!

As to the Camera, I personally don't think it'll work . Simply because Sony are the kind of people who make mosts things different to everyone else, thus, will not work on any other product, but Sony .

However, this can be possible . . . .

195373 2003-11-28 04:44:00 from what I have read in the net......

it has no windows drivers yet, sony is not doing drivers.

sevral hackers are trying to put some open source driver togeather but at this point its only in B/W
