Eye of Judgment Is Way Cheaper On Amazon
Posted by Mark Wilson at 6:00 AM on March 13, 2008
I'm sure that I'm not the only one who has been scoping out the PlayStation Eye pack with Eye of Judgment for a few months now, but was thwarted by the $US 70 price tag. Now, for whatever reason, Amazon is selling the bundle for $US 45 (w/free shipping) while other retailers seem to have stood firm at the old price.
I think that this price reduction, coupled with my hopes of uber tank awesomeness making its way to PSN, will cause me to drop some cash later today.

Too bad Amazon won't ship it to Australia :(

Now just head over to [www.nextgenboards.com] to get your card print outs on so you don't waste $415.00 trying to get the complete set. Best game in a long time, assuming you print out 3 sets, make your own gameboard and have a strong light...and only pay $45 on Amazon...

Thanks a ton. Picked it up today as well. Love card games, but $70 was just too much for one game. My girlfriend and I played the crap out of Culdcept Saga.
Now I need to see which pile of dust in my room contains the PS3.

I bought the game at $70.00 and have only played it a few times since then. I would feel like I made a bad purchase if I hadn't gotten an Ultra-rare in my booster. I had gotten a "Green Erlking Zomba", looked it up on eBay and found out it was worth about $60.00. So I sold it and came out only having actually paid $10.00 for my copy of EoJ.

For those starting to get into the game, recommend buying the themed starter decks. They come with most of the essential cards for a specific element and they even come with some great rare cards. I got better cards from the theme decks than buying lots of boosters.

You done did it, Mark. I just finished buying both this and the DualShock 3. I hope you're happy with my brokeness.
Seriously, though, this was just too sweet to pass up, and looks entirely legit. Like Mark, I've been looking at this for a while, and just couldn't justify the $70 yet. But this works for me.

Not to be the guy that always brings up Culdcept Saga, but if anyone's played both, how does the Eye of Judgment compare? I kind of like that in Culdcept Saga, all the cards are included in the game and you unlock/win them as you play. I'm not sure about a game that actually wants me to go out and buy more cards.

Finding boosters, and the requirement from good lighting can make the game a bit rough to play if you plan on local multiplayer. i'm critically short on fire cards, for example.
Actual game is fun, but much more difficult than you'd think. Placement and orientation is key in this game.

Dammit it's only through .com and they won't ship to Canada.

It's a fun game. Tough as nails to find booster packs though. Finally grabbed a box of 'em here in Toronto.

Dammit Amazon and Kotaku making me spend my monies!
First it was the Dual Shock 3, now it's eye of judgment.
This is a pretty sweet deal and I'll finally be able to play with my friends at work that have been telling me all about it. And the addition of the PSN Eye games should be a great bonus.

@Candlejack: I'm guessing you don't play rock band or GH3 on your ps3 either? The front cable doesn't affect me because I keep my ps3 sideways anyway. If I don't then buttons get pressed and coins get inserted into the slot loading drive by my 2 year old.

Eye of Judgement is a blast, if anyone wants to play, my PSN name is in my profile. It's easy enough to set up, so just let me know :)
Don't forget, the expansion is supposed to be out on March 28 or so ... I've already pre-ordered a bunch of boosters.

@dabu: Yup. I also dislike the idea of a USB cable constantly being connected to the front of my PS3, just hanging around out of place. Even if I did it behind my TV stand which has good cable management, I'd still be able to see it from the front.

Damn it...I just bought that last week! And threw away the box already. I haven't really played eye of judgment though...I have no idea how to play it after reading over and over again. I guess it's better just to play it.

@Candlejack: Ditto. I won't get a PSEye until a wireless version comes out. The wired Rock Band mic and drumset, are flexible given the way they're used. But the Eye needs to be steady and on a flat surface with good light.

EoJ is a dang good game, never had any problems finding people online to play with.
another fun use for the camera is the free Eyecreate software on PSN. Good for several hours of drunk fun.
side note: the mics in that camera are too good imo, they pick up everything.

This game hasn't sold too well so finding a someone to play with online could be difficult with the low traffic.

The game itself is pretty innovative. I'd agree with others on the Eye Toy, but as for the game itself. Something tells me that the online community for this is pretty bleak? Wait, does this support online play at all? I'm thinking it has a very dedicated community, but not something that has hitten the breaking point to really support a good enough community, in turn, actually hurting its gameplay and what would be a selling point to the game. Darn it.

Hey, that's not too bad.
For a while I've wanted to play with the PS Eye PSN games, but a $40 camera isn't worth it for that, and I want to check out the slick augmented reality model viewing in Eye of Judgement, but have nowhere to set up the gameboard so $70 is too much for that.
If I can get EOJ for $40-50 it's a lot closer to worthwhile.

I wish this was the same price in Canada, I'd pick it up for sure! As is, Canada does not get the free shipping which brings the price back up to "meh" territory.

I'm getting that bad "super scope 6" feeling. Even if this is a "deal" I need to see more uses for the eyetoy before I spend some cash. I know it can be used as a webcam, but what else can it do?

If I were not totally broke right now I'd be all over this! I so want this game/the PS Eye...
I'd also love to see the Tank thing!

This is especially a great deal before they change the packaging and that first set cards get replaced with the new set that should come out anytime soon.

Are you saying you "hope" to spend cash today? If you want to, just do it. I'd love to get things, but never "hope" to spend any cash cause I'm a greedy bastard that way.
