The PSEye digital camera for the PlayStation 3 is Chris's window to the world and capture device of choice for his "Captain's Log" Vlogs.
It was allegedly confiscated because of an anonymous troll sending his father Bob an envelope containing several postcards featuring screen captures of his rubber doll sex-capades.
Chris refers to it as the PSEye, though he may in fact only have one of Sony's earlier models, the EyeToy camera developed for the PlayStation 2 console. PSEyes are capable of a much higher resolution than the shitty quality typically evident in Chris's videos.
Video captured with the PSEye can be edited with software called EyeCreate; the resulting file is an "EyeCreate Video" or ECV. When Chris uploads a video to YouTube without giving it a title, the default title is "ECV" followed by a five-digit number. Chris occasionally titles his videos in a similar format (e.g. "CWC Update 03042009"), perhaps in a deliberate reference.
As time goes on, his PSEye seems to become more and more prone to both video and audio skips, probably because he doesn't take care of it and will throw things at it and knock it around in his videos.
As of October 14, his PSEye is malfunctioning more than ever, after Chris threw his telephone at it in a retarded fit of random access humor.
The recent structural stress to the camera seems to have affected the microphone since the video Brutal Legend uploaded the 18 October 2009 is completely mute. The following video Brutal Legend Plus saw the return of sound but only as much as the tortured camera can transmit after the beating it took.
