PS Eye

[bhampton]

Hi,

I thought I read in a thread here about the PSEye being on clearance at Kmart for $10. I've searched many times for the thread with no luck.

Anyhow,... My Kmart had it for $15 but seemed pretty cheap so I bought one.

I have concerns though...

1) This gizmo may be practically useless
2) My particular setup may make the thing impossible to use.

With my HT I have the PS3 outside the theater and I use a projector and tend to have the lights off (no windows either so it's very dark.)

The wireless nature of most PS3 devices makes having it in the other room no problem. But the PSEye has a wire and it's USB as well. Seems I can't buy a 25 foot USB cable without having some active signal amplifier thingie.

Now,... If I get a fairly long USB cable and just keep the door open and the lights on .... Will the projectors light output mess up the PQ from the PSeye anyway?...

That Eye Pet program looks neat but I wonder if it or anything else that uses the PSEye will work with my setup.

I can't resist such a cool new PS3 accessory for $14.99 but ... I may have just bought something practically worthless.
