Afterthought: XBOX Live Vision Camera

this afterthought has been around my head since the last 2 months,

i just dont know how to put my words clear on what i am about to say

its been awhile since i have the xbox live vision cam.....

seriously, i neva tried the main thing the xbox live vision cam was built to do,

VIDEO CHATTING.............

i can see that some of the bruneian gamers owns it. whats ur story guyz??, how did u experience the cam???, WORTH IT?????.

I wanna experience the video chat but sama siapa??

kalau kan tarus2 having a video chat session with someone u haven't met inda membari galat kan tu???

but seriously

correct me if i am wrong but TYPICAL bruneians will view it as a "GAY" act espashly if u dont really know & haven't met the guy

di U.S atu siuk, inda beingau dorg atu

yeah i know, social dorg lain

but we can change that rite???.

sorry guys kalau ada yg tersindir

if my statement about the "GAY" thing is wrong then i am calling all live vision cam owners to give video chating a try just to fullfill the experience

what the cam & i have gone through each other???, well......

1) Playing a free downloadable game compatible with the cam called "TOTEMBALL" which seriously from my point of view SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!.
2) Obtained TRUE IDENTITY achievement (30G points), using the cam to create a character with ur appearance in "RAINBOW SIX: VEGAS"
3) Took few snap shots for my Gamer Picture
4) ummmmmmmmm............ thats about it............

The live cam has a feature with "Command & Conquer 3" in multiplayer mode, but i havent tried it

its clear that i havent fully experience the cam 100%

so plz, to all Bruneian XBOX live Vision Cam owners leave ur story, experience & answer this

WAS THE CAMERA WORTH BUYING?????????

xbox 360 wireless steering wheel: a bruneian review









Any bruneians bought the wireless wheel?

i did.....

so how was it??

worth it?

its AMAZING!

first of all, it has an awesome force feedback, high quality plastic build, superb pedals, gear shifting is at the back of the steering ( ada f1 feel sikit), the steering grips does what it is design to do if ur hands r sweaty.










rubber grips and chrome finish










Gear shifters (f1 feel)

with steering btw comes with a copy of PGR3 complete with steering wheel drivers, and a force feedback power supply and a table mount clamp for a hefty price (b$268).

Microsoft promises wireless, well not wireless enough

y u say?

  1. The pedals are wire connected with phone jack like cables.
  2. u wont feel the experience of the steering without force feedback, so u have to connect an individual power supply to the steering. come to think of it is a good thing that microsoft provides power supply for this as the force feedback will surely drain ur batteries
So having a steering wheel is nothing without a racing seat. Dont get me wrong, it still works gr8 if mounted on to a table But to truly get the experience u need to have a racing seat

so where to buy??

i dont know

Why search and buy if u can fabricate one.











With a racing seat like this i gave it 6/10. its not much but it delivers the experience.











so with the racing seat done, i put the steering wheel to the test with the long awaited game...





FORZA MOTORSPORT 2
limited collectors edition
b$98 (e.g.m)
"the game that inspired me to have the steering wheel"



So how was it??

they are pros and cons about the performance on this one

Pros:
  • the force feedback respond amazingly
  • The name "simulator" reallly shines with it. the car mechanics are mere car perfect.
Cons:
  • i notice that i am slightly slower than u sing a controller. average of -2secs.
Conclusion:
The experience between using a normal controller and the wireless steering wheel is far different. with the steering wheel, u have to really control the balance of the car and u deeply feel the difference between type of cars (FR, FF, AWD etc). It really puts the name "SIMULATOR" to the test. i would recommend this to a racing game fan.

final score:8.6/10
