You could just buy a webcam and a headset and use Google Talk

Oh sorry I was under the impression that any headset would do, but im not 100% sure on that!
So if you look here you will find reviews of Skype headsets, but I am able to make calls to people with a headset that I bought for gaming so I don't see why any headset shouldn't work
