Chris, just because the word "hackers" was used doesn't mean it's illegal :D All it means is that people other than Sony are trying to create some drivers to make the camera work on your PC - there's nothing illegal about that (unless perhaps if the manual for the camera specifically states that you aren't allowed to use it on a PC, and even then they'd have a hard time telling any judge that it should be illegal).

The only way it'd become illegal is if you get it to work and then use it illegally :)

195377 2003-11-28 07:45:00 that word and also the other day sony annouced that any mod chipping of playstations would be seen as illegal..and i took that as to customizing a playstation to be region free or able to take copied cds or modifying the use of a eyetoy...

i would only be using it to capture images of me if anyone wants to see or to use as a webcam on yahoo or msn i dunno...

guess i gotta wait till something is released or something..

was kinda hoping sony would do something so they can have something over microsoft..or any other webcam developer as then 1 camera can be used for playstation and computer use..than having to get 2 cameras one for each...

But you're not trying to modify the eyetoy, you just are wanting some PC software that'll allow you to use it on your PC. That's quite different from modifying it.

Besides, Sony is having a hard time elsewhere showing that modding a PS2 is illegal.

195380 2003-11-28 21:36:00 I wonder how many people who brought an eyetoy will be still enthusiastically using it after 4 weeks?

To me it is the biggest load of marketing bollox this year. Congratulations to Sony for suckering people in.
