I can see you no way you can see me. LOL
I love PlayStation 4 I play every day but it did not seem complete. Until I purchased The PlayStation camera I love it I can do lots of hands free stuff and I can stream live online now my PlayStation is complete with this cool camera. Glad I took a chance and purchased it now I am complete. Thank you

Camera is great needs more games
Camera allows easy installation and provides face recognition to startup the system. Sony Playroom is fun at first but gets repetitive. I haven't really seen any new CAMERA games. Camera also works as a microphone in gameplay. Voice commands are basic but work well. Some games, such as FIFA 15, allow for in-game voice commands such as formations or substitutions. It's not a must have but will enhance your experience.

Good, but needs work
I like this camera, but it's not perfect and Sony needs to fix a few issues. The picture quality is decent. It's 720p, which isn't as good as Xbox One's Kinect (1080p), but it's also $40 cheaper than the Kinect and not required with purchase of the console. Better than the picture quality is the voice commands. You can say "Playstation" and it'll allow you to do certain things, like starting a game or turning off your PS4. It has 4 microphones, so this area really stands out. The camera also tracks the light on your Dual Shock 4 controller. I haven't seen many games actually utilize this yet, but that's cool to have. Moving to the issues, there are more problems than I expected. First is that you can't turn off the microphone for the camera. So if you're in an online game, everybody will hear everything from your living room. The only way to fix this? Unplug the device. I bet Sony will eventually add some options to deactivate the microphone in online games, but for now, expect everybody to hear you. Voice commands also work on and off for me. When I have a game running, voice commands don't work, even when I'm on the dashboard. My last big issue is that there isn't a lot of support for the camera yet. It looks great, but there needs to be more ways to use it. Overall, I do suggest buying this. It evens the gap a little bit between PS4 and Xbox One. That said, be prepared that the camera just isn't ready for public yet. To be honest, the PS4 in general isn't totally ready for public (needs a lot of updates).
