Sorry it was late when I posted the question. I meant to say is the PS3 eye as good as the pi cam. I want to save money but realize that if I buy the PS3 eye for $10 less than the pi cam then I will also need to buy a powered hub, if I buy the pi cam then I can skip the hub once the system us up and running and I don't need a kb and mouse. Also seems like there are some neat enclosures for the pi and pi cam to print. So will go that way unless anyone has some experience that would point me in another direction.
