The Xbox 360 camera is a complete waste of money and rather pointless?

My friend argues that:

for 20 you get a month gold a game which will cost about 5 quid a headset which retail for over a tenner and a camera which works on both the pc and the 360 and on the 360 works in more and more games

I just say it's pointless and PC webcams are like £3, cam users tend to be freaks aswell.

I think the MS one is needed for certain games though. i.e. I think some games plan to offer face mapping and movement detection which can only be used with the MS cam as opposed to any compatible one.

(Maybe I am thinking of Rainbow 6?)

Face mapping in R6 was funny for T-Hunts with mates. Other than that I thought it was a waste of time.
never knew it was PC compatible. My labtec bombed when I went Vista. maybe this will sort it.
 
I dunno why more games havent used R6 face mapping. It was pretty good. Pro evo would be good with it. You could make your own team of miss fits up.

the new Tiger Woods will use the cam for face mapping also, so i expect more Sports games to follow suit

Cool, I think they also used Krono's face map for the locusts in GOW?

Some of the face maps I saw in R6 where excellent, I thought it was a good feature that would be more used by now.

Thats said I rarely plug my cam in other than to send abusive pictures to friends after beating them on pro evo.
