Sony's secret weapon?? -- No Sony-haters, please.

This will only be useful if Sony delivers easy to use developer tools to third parties.

Juding from the difficulty of PS3 development, that isn't going to happen.

It also won't change anything unless it's a standard control input.

Gimmick. Nothing more.

While I'd love to see decent virtual reality come into the consumer home, I'm still not paying $599.99 for the PS3, and whatever this new device's price is. No thanks. It's a gimmick, like Peanut said.

They made the same promise for the PS 2 though... I'll have to wait and see.I'm all for innovation though.

Meh, the best they had to show for it was a collectable card game. Going with GK here. Its a gimmick and won't likely be used to its full potential.

Yeah, it's kind of sad 'cause I've never considered myself a Sony hater. I still don't. I love my PS1 and PS2. My PS2 is the only non Sega system I have hooked up right now even. But they've totally lost me on the PS3. I may get one in a long ways down the road, if the price drops ALOT and there are enough games I want for it, but right now I can honestly say I'm not wanting one.

Yeah, I look at the PS2, and I see a lot of stuff I missed (namely FFX/X-2, Gradius V, and a zillion others). PS2 was truthfully a great console. I need a PS2 to play all that stuff, but the difference between it and the PS3 is drastic.

To be fair though, that Eye Toy could provide some fun game ideas, but it'll never get utilized, and its not going to do half of what it promises.

Same here. I enjoy the PS1 and PS2 and still buy games for them, but I lost some respect for Sony with the PSP and even more so with the PS3. I can't think of a single game that interests me on the PS3, so it doesn't sound like it will be worth the huge amount of money for me.

As for this new Eye Toy, I agree with those who said that it's just a gimmick. Sony would need to package it with the console and provide alot of support for it in order for it to be anything more than that.
