According to GamesRadar "the quality of the image is damn impressive"..

Unfortunately their screenshot and video aren't up to the task of demonstrating it. Looks like they haven't explored the video chat options with friends.

Everyone keeps wishing it was bluetooth capable. How many devices can the PS3 support in bluetooth? I thought it was 7...correct?
If we keep getting all these devices, we'll have to eventually get USB devices.
Ecspecially if you have 4 controllers (pretty rare with online gaming now), headset, remote, etc, etc.

Interesting link. The price isn't mentioned. With the camera, is it required that you plug it in to the ps3 for it to work or can you turn it on manually?

I don't understand what you mean, it'll only work while plugged in.

I see. I wonder what the price will be?

8 maximum.

The EyeToy is USB only.

If you want to free up a slot, you can disengage your Bluetooth devices like keyboard, mice and headset.

8 including the PS3 itself, 7 other bluetooth devices can be connected to the PS3.

The current bluetooth spec doesn't have the bandwidth necessary for PlayStation Eye's uncompressed A/V. Battery life (unless the camera was huge with a large battery) would be crippling.
