Xbox Live Vision sneaks onto store shelf

It's a whole month early -- Microsoft's Xbox Live Vision camera is still due for actual release on 9/19 -- but during a recent Toys 'R' Us run lucky tipster Leo managed to walk away with his very own Live Vision camera, courtesy of an evident stocking snafu. The shiny package includes a headset, the camera, codes for 1 month of Live Gold and a registration key for fan-fave Uno. Of course, we don't suppose he'll be able to get much use out of it until Microsoft launches the device officially, but it makes for a good Flickr set, and some decent bragging rights.

So, you pay for the XBox Live account, and you pay for the camera, and basically all you can do is post pictures on XBox live? Sounds like a SWEET deal!

I've already seen two on XBox Live playing against people on UNO. Trust me, they need to work on their poker face. Easier to read than sitting across the table from them.

I hate to say it but it is a fake. If you look at his close up of the Toy's R US Recipt http://www.flickr.com/photos/bigman606/218561868/
It shows that he paid $34466856590 for the camera and at the top of the Recipt on the smaller picture he bought it in California the problem I have is that California sales tax is at minimum 7.25 and this says 6.00 so it is another problem, which translates to Fake recipt and probably photoshop the package.
