I don't need kinect. I'm to lazy to jump around. Or swing my arms and go haymaker.

Xbox 360 w/ 4GB internal memory= $200 MSRP

PS3 w/ 120GB internal memory=$300 MSRP

kinect is a good idea a good way to attract new customers away from the wii. I do still wanna get a wii and maybe a ps3... Ive always liked the xbox and i can play the same games on the ps3 as the xbox... I had lost faith in sony... Maybe ill wait for a ps4 lol... By the time i decide to get a ps3 im sure the 4 will be out thats generally my luck.

We have both a Wii and an Xbox360; the Wii is used by my younger kids and the Xbox360 is used by everyone. We have Wii fit and the balance board that you need to use with it. That gathers dust now; my wife used it exactly 5 times and just couldn't get over the fact that you have to stay in one place. She wants the Kinect on the 360 because you DO NOT have to stay in one place OR hold a controller. I can't wait till they put Kinect in a game like NCAA 11 or Madden...then that will be the stuff right there; it would be even better if they had a punch that came outta nowhere when you get tackled though.

My 62" plasma tv was about 1K 2 years ago.  That 60K tv must have been a little bigger ehh?  :rofl :neener:

You're not very bright if you actually believe that, there is no way a Kinect can fry a TV.

Kinect is really nothing more than a gimmick on a console but on the PC and Mac the Kinect really has incredible potential.  Already some have started to do amazing things with the Kinect and a computer.

What could be done with this as is done in some respect with the Wii would be a boxing game but one that models foot work as well.

Hell of a good work out playing a video game.

Speak of this some more oh toothless wonder! I am interested in what you speak of....possibility for free track or anything that doesn't require IR strobes on your head for looking around in game are very intriguing to me.

No, not like free track at all though I'm sure hack drivers can be created that would allow the Kinect to do that.  The videos I've seen of the two people that had hacked the Kinect and one hooked it up to a PC and the other to a Mac.  This allowed them to manipulate the interface like Tom Cruise did in Minority Report.  So far, the drivers for the hack are limited in functionality as they were created more as a proof of concept sort of thing instead of a functional hack driver for the Kinect on a computer.  Give it a few more months and you'll see some incredible stuff with a hacked Kinect on a PC.

most households in japan dont have 8ft of space to properly utilize it ;)


However, HT could probably benefit from supporting a kinect-on-pc type of control set.


stand in front of pc. spread arms to each side.. synchronized up/down movement of arms= bank ... bend forward or back = stick up/down ... move hips sideways = rudder ....


shake head to fire machine guns, do the humping motions to fire cannons.


aaah yes... it would be grand. All those wurgermonkeys, n1kdweebs and chogboys will be out of a spine in a week.  :devil
