Personal surveillance and face recognition are all part of Sony's SpyToy.

Claiming to be more than just a game, SpyToy offers a security system for paranoid gamers. If you are convinced your mom is always snooping around your room when you are out, then SpyToy is for you (http://www.pro-g.co.uk/news/nid/1029/1089/). With its surveillance functionality you can catch unwanted visitors in the act and surprise them with a pre recorded personal message. SpyToy features face recognition technology to keep your system secure from unauthorised users. It's not all about home security though, as SpyToy also has a game mode where you enroll at the SIA and undertake a series of missions to track down criminals

For a full list of features read the full article on Pro-G (http://www.pro-g.co.uk/news/nid/1029/1089/).

Now my PS2 will be safe from theft!

Until someone unplugs it.

Methinks Sony is getting too carried away with the modest success of the eyetoy.

OH! And anything that encourages people to leave an electronic device turned on while they're not using it is stupid for a whole host of reasons, from wear and tear to the system to a total waste of electricty.

Another way for Sony to fuck our PS2s, thanks Sony.

"Make video and audio recordings of the evidence that you can later store onto Memory Card."

Not bad! if you want to commit suicide just leave a message on the PS2 saying, "play me", and you're done! :)

The face recognition thing is kinda cool, just from the standpoint of being able to do it. It's totally useless, though. Until it get frikkin' laser beams, it's useless.

Are these laser beams attached to sharks?
