Xbox Live Webcam on a Mac

Mac users looking for a Webcam now have an option in the unlikeliest of places--the realm of gaming consoles by its famous competitor.

With the latest iteration of Mac OS X (10.4.9) allowing the use of USB Webcams natively without the need for specific drivers, a user at MacForums site has reported that a Xbox Live Vision camera works flawlessly with his Apple system. With its basic feature set (1.3-megapixel still images and 30fps VGA video), we do not expect the Xbox peripheral to be the Webcam of choice for most Mac users. However, this is definitely good news for those who also own a Microsoft gaming console.
