Live vision - See everything live!

If you're like us, and you employ a close friend to film what goes on outside with a digital camcorder so that you can watch the day unfold via the comfort of your own home, then this may well interest you.

Tired of not being able to answer important questions because they were asked several hours before, to someone who wasn't you? Well thanks to Microsoft and their super new "Live Vision" camera, you can!

The Live Vision camera sits on top of your telly and appears to be not much more than a USB web cam that you could probably get from Argos for less than a fiver, but don't be fooled! The Live Vision camera can not only take snap shots to put on your Gamertag, but actually shows you things live.

No longer do you have to wait for Gary to get back with that all important tape of the day, simply watch the day as it happens.

Of course, on paper it all sounds fantastic but as usual there are a few problems with the marketing images...


1. Only 5 Xbox 360s were sold in Asia, I got one of them, and the other 4 were sent to shops to display Ninety Nine Nights. This woman is obviously not real.

2. Not only is she an Asian woman with an Xbox 360, she's also managed to set up a USB webcam. I suppose we're supposed to believe she's some kind of super woman.

3. She can quite obviously see who she's talking to (it's live after all) and yet she's continuing to talk to him, and hasn't blocked/yelled abuse at him.

Conclusion: Live Vision will enable whoever uses it to meet young attractive fake Asian women.

Hooray!
