Connecting to PS3 webcam from PC - Blu-ray Forum

Speedfreak · 04-21-2009, 08:47 AM

Morning fellow PS3 lovers.

Firstly let me apologise if this topic has already been covered - I have tried various searches, but didn't find anything suitable.

I'm off to Chicago on business for 3 weeks and was going to get a lend of a mates laptop and webcam so I could 'phone home' to see my wife and kids on my wifes laptop. Both webcams are logitech ones. Last night though, I connected the webcam to the PS3 and added it via the accessories menu, and bingo - there I was on the TV. So I know the webcam works fine on the PS3.

Now instead of borrowing my mates latop, I want to take my wifes laptop and another logitech webcam away with me.

My question is, when I'm in Chicago, how to I get the laptop to connect to the PS3 webcam back home?

Thanks in advance for any information you can throw my way!

One last question - Shin-Ra, do you keep count of the number of Avatars you've used? You must be hitting some big numbers by now!

You can only connect PS3 to PS3.

And I try not to change more than once a week, usually much less often.

connect the ps3 webcam to the laptop and start a msn chat with the laptop at home & webcam

do you want to see the image on the BIG SCREEN?
if so then plug your pc/laptop at home into the bigscreen
