XMB Video Chat - Blu-ray Forum

WeApOn · 02-09-2008, 06:42 PM

My buddy just got a PS Eye the other day, so I tried out the Video Chat with him. It was extremely laggy for the both of us-- going about 5fps and sometimes only audio would come through. The audio sounded fine for the most part.. Not too much lag but it came through clearly.

I thought the video chat was supposed to be like 30fps or something? What would most likely be causing this? Internet speed? I know the both of us have a pretty stable internet speed and I don't know why it would happen.

Any info is appreciated.. thanks!

It was an inexcusable amount of lag. I was thinking if his NAT Type was 3 he might be getting some connection lag, but I didn't get to ask him what it was. Only thing that it could be would be internet speed..

That's really weird, cause I did a video chat with my brother from Japan to Hawaii using a regular usb webcam on the PS3 and it worked pretty well.
