'360' Vision Cam Is A No-Show!

[THWIP*]

I'VE BEEN CHECKING EVERY WAL-MART, TARGET, EB, CIRCUIT CITY, SAM GOODY AND BEST BUY WITHIN A 200 MILE RADIUS, AND NOBODY HAS THEM, AND MOST KNOW NOTHING ABOUT A PROJECTED AVAILABILITY. THEY DIDN'T SELL OUT......THEY JUST NEVER ARRIVED. I EVEN CHECKED 'TOYS R US', SINCE
ONE OUTLET SUPPOSEDLY SOLD ONE EARLY......BUT TO NO AVAIL. ONLINE STORES EITHER HAVE NO LISTING AT ALL, OR MERELY HAVE A "PRE-ORDER" SLOT FOR IT.

CHAT FORUMS ALL OVER THE NET ARE IN AN UPROAR OVER THE AS-YET-UNEXPLAINED LACK OF 'VISION CAMS' AT RETAILERS ABROAD.

ODDLY ENOUGH, I'VE NOT SEEN A SINGLE STORY ON THIS, YET........NOT EVEN AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM 'MS'. LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE DROPPED THE BALL AGAIN. DURING A WEEK WHEN PRESS COVERAGE IS AT A PEAK, NEGATIVE NEWS IS THE LAST THING 'MS' NEEDS.

They had the retail boxes in the window when I went past TARGET today... I was in a hurry to get my network working again and forgot to go back and see if they were for sale yet

 

[Horrorfan]

Who cares? It's not as if any games can use it yet anyway

It's because Godzilla's attacking Japan and the factories are halted because the workers are eaten.

EXCEPT THAT IT'S LIKELY MADE IN CHINA.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

China, Japan... what's the difference...

 

[Fran]

Exactly.

 

[Fran]

I haven't seen it anywhere, either. I'm gonna check at Best Buy tonight. I may get it...

ABOUT 1.1 BILLION PEOPLE, FOR STARTERS.

Im pretty pissed off I guess with all the weird problems XBL is having over the last few days its no big deal... I will pick one up in Melbourne and hope that by the time I get back home in a month that XBL will be working again

I guess with all the weird problems XBL is having over the last few days

I was wondering if I was the only one having trouble

 

[Mentok]

I was wondering if I was the only one having trouble

I thought it was me because I can connect to Gammy to play CoD2 but cant connect with THWIP*.

If I am playing with Gammy then THWIP* can join but I cant hear him and he cant hear me but we both hear Gammy.

I can download stuff off the marketplace but most of the games I have wont see other people and chatting and messages are also pretty wonky.

Seems thaat M$ did an ninja update of LIVE and didnt bother to let anybody know... Now the whole system is buggy

From the looks of the xbox.com forums M$ are aware of the problem and are working on a solution.

 

[TrailerCues]

Those Microsoft Ninja Bastards

I saw the VisionCam at my Wal-Mart, two of them. They're so f**king tiny!

 

[Fran]

I haven't seen them anywhere. Not even Best Buy!!!

I want one, dammit!

 

[guitarsingerguy]

Dude, they've been in the EBGames right by my store since the day they launched.

 

[Axid]

If I get one, I will still have to keep my identity secret...

 

[Fran]

I don't think I will drive to Tampa to steal your Vision Cam, Axid.

You're safe.

 

[Axid]

You misunderstood.

And all the *****es 'round here will kill you if you step on my turf

 

[Fran]

You misunderstood.

And all the *****es 'round here will kill you if you step on my turf

DUDE.

Take it easy.

I don't care about your turf!!!

[Fran]

(I'm confused too)

Anyways, I can't find the frickin' camera anywhere.

I GOT MINE TONIGHT, AT WAL-MART.

DAMN THING DIDN'T COME WITH THAT 'TOTEMBALL' GAME THOUGH. WTF?!

UNTIL SOME MORE PEOPLE GET ONE, IT'S PRETTY MUCH USELESS.....BUT IT'S STILL COOL. AND IT'S SO TINY. THE PIC BELOW IS TO SCALE.

 

[imdaly]

Sweet, THWIPPY.

I STILL can't find any in my area. Only place that's got it so far was EBGames, but they only got enough to fill their pre-orders.

I got "World Championship of Poker" last night in preparation for the cam, though. Can't wait to try out the Digimask.

Oh, and yeah, I read that apparently "Totemball" isn't bundled in the package, but will be available soon for free to download off of XBLA. You just need the cam to actually play it.
