By Craig Schwartz Camera-shy gamers' nightmare begins At long last, a North American release date has been announced for the long-awaited Xbox 360 camera. Xbox Live guru Major Nelson broke the silence on his latest podcast when he uttered the glorious words, "We've actually given a specific date both for North America and Europe of September 19th." Xbox Live Vision (which sounds not unlike my cell plan) will be compatible with PCs, and no drivers will be necessary to get this baby up and running. You're going to have to buy this particular camera if you want a webcam experience for the Xbox 360; not other Web cam will play nice with the console. Some more details from MTV:The camera will show off some features even when gamers aren't actively using it. On the 360 dashboard, a new setting will let gamers set the background of the dashboard (like themes) and interact with it. Waving hands in the view of the camera when it's on its "watery" setting will cause the background to "undulate" and ripple as if underwater. Other options include an "edgy" setting (likened to a "bad music video" by Hryb) and a "dotty" setting.
