[epicfire6335]

[TheFatal05]

@epicfire6335 you are gay? you dont have to announce your sexuality in public. Strong feelings for men, i understand.

[ThreeCatsScratching]

Does it have a hole for tripod mount?

[rubix63]

is that cameraman's mac?

[KikeTheMusician]

lol the box



[fabdu079]

Wow; works out of the box even on Ubuntu...impressive little webcam.

[ashley4359]

i'm not interested with the box lolzzzzzzzzzzz

[dgenerationxlkl]

That is one sexy ass box.

[04h239]

it doesn't work for me, i click on the lifecam program after installing it and it either comes up with a error report, or it says that its not detecting a webcam, i'm getting a refund

[zer0rida4lfe]

@04h239 I am having the same exact problem with mine have you figured yours out?

[04h239]

@zer0rida4lfe nope, still ain't working, im gonna take it back, but the packaging is so complicated so i came back on here to see what its original state looks like

[marthanyc]

is this Mac compatible?

[ceceChickaTV]

how much is this webcam?

[najinajina]

5 people missed the like button

[realtalentify]

How much?

[NoGoodGopher]

Great unboxing video.

[MrCreativeboii]

gay ?

[Eragon86micky]

I have this ^^

[glitterandglueforyou]

You are so cute. I love that in the middle of the review you just stop and discuss the box.

[thehornypuppy]

Just set the box on fire and then take the webcam out of it...SIMPLE.

[rcboatdriver1234]

wow that monitor was dusty

[TheMidnightLies]

I actually had to put that box back together since I took it out to test it before I gave it to the person I bought it for and as you guessed, it was really difficult. Took me so long!

[EVperformer]

does it hav a built in mic???

[TheCowThatSings]

omfg i thought i was watching a video from chris colfer

[grantsag1992]

Good job, I like this review alot. I noticed that in order to make a great review u gotta have a good personality, u hit the hammer on the nail with this one. Greattt job!

PS; Go to my channel for a video of how to turn off the annoying auto focus feature on this webcam

[kessyangel]

The box is like that so you can't return it.

[kessyangel]

The auto focus is not awsome. It's slow and annoying.

[Safegold008]

Than its better than Lifecam Cinema HD?

[czechjuli94]

thank you you´re so funny

[jamaicandon2]

Hmmm i just chose this over the logitech hd 310

[CoryPMcD]

This is hysterical, I wish all reviewers were as delightfully nerdy as you. Well done sir.

[jamalakj]

i like the base of it

[iPumaGamingAndTech]

i got this today and its awesome O_O

[decadecicenti]

you're funny. =]

[jacojacob1]

no one cares what the box is like

[Damoskinos]

Would have been nice to see it working on here and how much?

[Priscilla060]

nice

[galaxyad91]

how much was it did u buy at best buy

[sogndal94]

wow, your monitor is dirty!

[jafludas]

can you buy it in stores and how much does it cost

[SirMango]

Microsoft needs to review the packaging on their webcams. It's a nightmare to unbox/repackage them.

[matsas16193]

How much money did Microsoft pay to say all that?

[Allotar]

nice man! thanks ;)

[digizer]

master of Unboxing, all are good video

[UmairNaeemKhan]

this camera looks like a wrist watch

[Sayian505]

I got the regular 5000 Lifecam and the quality is really good even in low light.

[24065894]

nice clean workspace *dust* :)

[marcogugo]

i don't really like the appeareance of this cam, even though it looks like being made to be pretty functional and surface-adaptable.

[Kanaril]

i hate dust...........

[JamieA242]

do you think that if i threw this webcam out of an aeroplane's window and it landed on a patch of grass... it would bury itself?

[Weini123]

and remember: "dont eat" the camera (even if there is no bag included)

[FunsterProductions]

put a link to buy this on your website plz

[jblackrupert]

It's a laggy piece of crap.

[soknife]

lol camera mans screen looks broken

[kdmion]

the camera man monitor is really dusty xD

[LoftyCuber]

Gasp! You didn't tell us to ignore the CD's but to download the latest drivers from the website!

[aqnd]

@LoftyCuber I fear for the day he forgets to tell us not to eat the silica gel.

[usedtobesoeasy]

@LoftyCuber any ideas why it doesnt work properly on my PC? I run on windows 7 and it doesnt always respond-recognized when I plug it in the usb port (although sw and latest firmware has been already installed)

[JereHakala]

"HD"

[EmptyMellon]

That is $10 dollars just in the packaging, sad.  Nice vid though.

[bluekirby3]

18,000,000 pieces? That's OVER 9000

[159329]

what about the roundish microsoft HD web cam ? The one for $79.99

[Bayngan]

Lifecam cinema is better of course. However, these Cameras require at least a good Core2Duo, so if you're on a netbook or Dual Core, forget about getting the True HD power.

[darkether]

Don't need a camera, but I could use a box like that! :D

[latinlegacy]

can i have this please

[vwestlife]

What!? No free cupcake in the box!?

[dtomasiewicz]

Why not just shoot THIS unboxing with the camera?

:D

[LinusTechTips]

@dtomasiewicz That would be.... difficult.

[meccmax125]

@LinusTechTips Blah Linus! I thought you were a god at unboxing, noob :P

[timgames]

@LinusTechTips you would need 2 of them, or... just be quicker than light. not that hard, just a bit of practice that's all :)

[raheemisbad]

@LinusTechTips lol stupidity is priceless lol

[RyNDaBeaT]

@LinusTechTips lmfao

[nobodypersonsomeone]

@dtomasiewicz How could he use the camera to shoot the unboxing of the same camera!?

[zDToddy]

@dtomasiewicz paradox

[OfficialSgtSprinklez]

@dtomasiewicz uhmmm how can we see the actual product?? :D

[svndgrs]

thats an impressive box

[lil0egy0kid]

Might be me new youtube camera.

[Teldara]

I love dust!

[DivineInterceptor]

Unboxing of the BOX! ;)

[GrimTheToad]

Shit, you have ALOT of i cons

[rww100]

@GrimTheToad You mean The Cameraman has a lot of icons haha.

[Glazzito]

dust dust dust xD

[powerwark]

Fuckt the Camara.. That Box is Awesomee!!

[playgame38]

/me goes off to get a cupcake

[frickfrock999]

So this or the Lifecam Cinema?

[cjam496]

I like how linus randomly starts admiring the box instead of the webcam mid-video

[DackIsBack]

VERY fkn nice design, I'll be getting one.

It's great that they put a glass shield over the lens, Makes it super easy the clean and keep the picture sharp/glare free.

[saffant]

What happ to the quality ?

[aldld]

Are these (and similar products) actually made by Microsoft, or are they bought from another manufacturer and sold under their name? That is what some other companies do.

[Dezki]

@aldld

I think Microsoft makes them but don't quote me on that. I have a vx3000, an older version.

[samwelaye]

@aldld didnt mean to rate you down, my bad. the stupid flags just pop up when you scroll over

[THELUKESTIR]

Do more reviews with the hat! :D

[Jacobianiemann]

cool

[kenzzzhou]

it's like a worm!

[alphaspida]

where do you get the money to unbox these things man?

[Morag0]

@alphaspida He works for NCIX

[DackIsBack]

@alphaspida He sells them....

[Mr937595]

Scissors are greater than the security seal. The more you know!

[KounterMusic]

hd webcams ftw!
