That's not a bad price.  At least you know with the Logitech camera 
you're getting a half decent camera unlike some of the cheaper no name 
cameras out there.

Just checked online and the Playstation Eye does work on Linux too with 
a kernel 2.6.29 or higher.  Great for when the kids are fed up with 
playing with it (or I guess for maybe using it on PS3 Linux?).
