You can buy it now with the Software called Play that we just mention but starting in April a software call Groove will be available.

EyeToy: Groove, exclusive to the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, is the first interactive videogame that enables players to dance in time with music simply by moving their bodies, with no controller or dance pad necessary.

Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment London Studio, EyeToy: Groove is scheduled for release in April 20, 2004. The follow up to the highly successful EyeToy: Play, EyeToy: Groove challenges players to take their coordination and rhythm skills one step further.

Simply by linking the EyeToy USB camera to a PlayStation 2, the player will appear live, on TV, enabling them to dance along with the on-screen prompts. Technique, style and timing are required as players move their arms, hips and body to the beat of one of the 25 licensed songs from such artists as Madonna, Jamiroquai, and Fatboy Slim.
