XBLV Camera gets a price point, Uno fans screwed?


Joystiq has learned the "unofficial" price point for the Xbox Live Vision Camera: $39.99 bundled with Uno and one month of XBL Gold. It's not clear if those of us who already spent our hard-earned MS Points on Uno will get the opportunity to buy either a less expensive un-bundled version or another camera-enabled game. I'm guessing we're out of luck.

The 'stiq also has info on various other "Holiday 2006" peripherals:

  • New faceplates featuring Halo, Forza 2, & Viva Pinata for $19.99 each

  • Wireless headest with a 30-foot range for $59.99

  • 256MB Memory Unit for $59.99

  • Wireless gaming receiver for $19.99 (but it'll go on sale in Winter 2007, unlike the others, probably around the month of February)

The upcoming wireless racing wheel previously reported at $130 isn't on the list, indicating MS is re-evaluating that price.

Back to the camera. Is this price point and bundle pretty much what you expected? Furthermore, is $40 a small price to pay for the chance to see how ugly the strangers on your friend's list really are?
