To be as short as possible, this camera does what it is supposed to do very well! It has great picture and can be a very fun addition to your PlayStation 4! Don't trick yourself into thinking you are going to have hours of entertainment value, though, because there just isn't a ton of support for it so early in the console lifecycle. With that said, we all know you like showing off your PS4 to family/friends and using this on the built in game "The Playroom" is almost worth springing for the extra amount. Many people are also using the Playroom on the "Live from Playstation" live streaming feature and creating oddly entertaining web shows. The voice commands are responsive also, but limited. You can also login with the camera through facial recognition which is pretty nifty, but admittedly it's actually slower then manually selecting your profile on the screen.
Overall I would recommend this camera if you are interested in buying it. It is a very good product and a lot of fun. That is why I am giving it 5 stars, because the camera itself does everything you want from it. If you aren't sure you have the money for it right now though, I would wait until you do. It isn't compelling enough to call it a "must-buy".
-No need for a mic in any multiplayer game
-Can take screenshots at any time by saying "Playstation" Screenshot
-Can start game, dvd, bluray by voice "Playstation" "Call of Duty" Start Etc.
-Enhanced security as you can login by your face recognition, great for convenience and for people trying to access your profile
-Can turn system off by voice, go to homescreen, etc.
-If you leave room with multiple people playing say call of duty, me and friend just did this, you leave and even if you switch controllers the PS Camera will remember your face and re-assign you to that controller with login
-The playroom free demo/game included on PS4 can be played with this add on and 2 new dlc are coming which will be free, and 2 more by Tim Schafer's company are developing
-It seems that the support already offered we will get much better camera support than the old eye, and even if they dont I think for 60 bucks it really enhances your play experience for the life of your ps4. Now if they can just get the netflix voice stuff working that will be great, I really enjoyed that on xbox. But this will be better as it actually recognizes names like call of duty, resogun, etc. It seems a lot of people are buying so keep using it as sony tracks it use and will support it as long as lots of people are using it.
However, when I received this product today I was remind how it was a great decision. I got the PlayStation Camera on a lightening deal for $25. The Kinect retails for about $80 most places. but I had to buy another $20 attatchment to have it mounted on top of my TV. It was also an eye sore, and people would always ask what that thing stuck to my tv was.
The PlayStation Camera came with its own mount for your TV, which I thought was an incredible value having had to use a third party product with Xbox. It's also about a third the size of the Kinect, which was ideal as well.
The camera itself doesn't have quite all of the commands you'd want, and it does some annoying things like prevent you from using voice commands while a game is running.
That aside, I think it's a great investment-- if only to keep you from using the stock PS4 "headset" (gag) since the PlayStation Camera has a chat function.
