Microsoft's camera for the Xbox 360 is coming soon, with an official release date set for Sept 19th. However, there have been reports on the Internet of the camera landing on store shelves a little early, at retailers like Toys ‘R’ Us. The Live Vision camera package apparently includes the camera you see here, plus a headset and a code for a single month free Gold subscription to Xbox Live - and a registration key for the game Uno, which of course supports the camera and full Live multiplayer chat mode.

Uno players being able to see and hear each other on Xbox Live... I'm not sure that’s a good thing. But if it’s your thing, check your local Toys ‘R’ Us because apparently people are snatching them up and adding their photos to Live. It’s likely a stocking error on the part of the giant Toy retailer; large retailers will be the first to make such errors just because they have so many other products coming through all the time.

According to Gamespot’s rumor control, they contacted Microsoft to see if this wasn’t just an 'early release on purpose' thing, but the company had no comment. In fact Microsoft says no official date was ever announced for the camera.
