The PlayStation Eye accessory is far more advanced than its last-gen predecessor, the EyeToy. With 120fps support, high-res video recording, advanced speech recognition, and EyeCreate photo editing software, we feared the Eye would cost an arm and a leg. It doesn't appear to be the case. The upcoming Eye of Judgment, which includes the camera peripheral, is listed for the same price as a regular PS3 retail game: only $60. According to amazon.com, the game will arrive in October. At this price, it seems worthwhile to pick up -- even if you're not interested in the game.
[Thanks, Jared!]

Most of the advancements over EyeToy are software based..eg. the processing of the video and audio.
Sony is a leader in ccd/cmos sensor production, so the implementation of 120fps is evolutionary for them. For the audio component, aside from the added complexity of the mic array... its mostly software driven.
The Eye of Judgement game is a PSN level game.. so, its like bundling a PSN game with the Playstation Eye for $60.

dont like card based games, even if i did this game would still look lame. but 60 bucks for a damn nice camera that seems as though it would double as a nanny cam works for me.

@1, I'd say the noise canceling microphone is an improvement over the EyeToy, especially considering that it didn't have a mic...

$60 is a great deal... until you consider all the money needed for booster packs and the like. =/ Mind you, though, I'll still be getting this one! My dad wants to play this one! XD He hates the W**!

Seems like a pretty sweet deal. I don't know whether to pick up this game or Warhawk. It'd be cool if I could buy just the PlayStation Eye.

Eye of Judgement is also listed in the EB/Gamestop databases as $60 also. Here's hoping it's not going to change.

Not that I wanna disappoint you guys, but EoJ was priced at EUR 109 in the latest release list from SCEE. Unsually those prices directly translate into $.
Btw, the game includes the camera as well as the board, cards and the camera mount. No way it goes for 60 bucks.

You know why it cost $60.....because they are going to rip us off on the Cards!!(require to play the game). Remember $ony knows where it hurts the most...so don't be stupid saying OMG is so cheap. Prepare that credit card because is going to swipe like is HOT (Pokemon fanboys). FYI I am a P$3 fanboy.

@1. Nom eyetoy has significant hardware improvements
1) The 120 FPS as previously mentioned is a HUGE step up
2) The noise cancelling microphone array, again, huge. No need for a headset now
3) The camera is so light-sensitive, you can play in complete darkness using only the light from your TV. Eyetoy1s biggest flaw was it's poor darkness-handling abilities. This is now gone
4) The resolution increase
5) The visual quality increase. It's not even compressed video anymore
Considering every single part of the hardware has been improved, claiming it's mostly software is retarded and ignorant.

The game doesn't look like anything special. Not putting it down, but it looks like a downloadable from the PS store.
