good thing it isn't.
additional peripherals not central to the use of the console should never ever be compulsory.
having said that, I've no regrets getting the camera bundle

Yeap, they did the right thing to make it an option. However, I'm looking forward to games that will take advantage of the camera. I hope developers will include it for immersion and not just a gimmick.
If the NBA technical foul story was true, imagine how they could make it immersive..maybe the NPC squadmate reacts to you shouting..
*bomb goes off*
You: Oh SH*T that was loud
NPC: **** yeah it was!
Or when you're getting a briefing from your squad leader, he reacts to your facial expressions.
Wow, that would be a dream..LOL
