How to Use the Playstation Eye As a Microphone

Video games today place a heavy emphasis on multiplayer aspects. The ability to play online with other players all over the world is possibly the largest development in the latest generation of game consoles. The PlayStation 3 features various games that let you talk to other players online during the game. Usually you need a headset to do this, but you can achieve the same effect with your PlayStation Eye camera, using its built-in microphone. You will hear other players' voices through your TV's speakers as normal.
