Kinect

have any of you guys tried this thing yet? i tried it in best buy and its fun as hell
there games are pretty fun. i still think the move is better though

How long before we put on a helmet and we are in the game? I want a war game so my Marine background will let me' own lol

just noticed i spelled kinect wrong. can you take out the extra n

kinect so far is doing horrible and most games have bad reviews
it seems like both MS and sony are saving their games for later to
compete against eachother. MS is not going to be doing so well if their
star wars game is gonna go up against most ps3 exclusives that cant
only be played on the controller but the move aswell. one thing the move has over
the kinect. i bet the kinect are going to eventually do the same thing as sony. make games
that can be played in both the controller and kinect. unless their trying to steal more
peoples money for a overly hyped game that doesnt come up to what they say it is

The day when I buy is kinect is when I can stretch out my arms and make motor noises with my mouth to play flight shooter games.

Kinect Likely Coming to PC
Microsoft's Ballmer says they'll support PC in a "formal way."

Microsoft head Steve Ballmer hinted that Kinect will be getting PC support in the future.

In an interview with BBC News during the Consumer Electronics Show this week, Ballmer stated that while he has no announcements to make, the company will give PC users the ability to plug in their Kinect cameras.

"We'll support [PC] in a formal way in the right time," Ballmer said about Kinect. "When we've got an announcement to make, we'll make it."

Ballmer also reiterated Microsoft's long-term plan for Kinect, which involves going beyond just catering towards traditional gamers.

"We certainly started out with Xbox very focused in on gaming," he added. "We're trying to do two major things, though. We're trying to move beyond gaming to include the world of socialization, movies, TV, and of music. And we're trying to make the whole experience accessible to everybody in the family, not just the traditional gamer."

Primesense, the company that created the technology used in Kinect, recently announced it teamed up with computer manufacturer ASUS to develop and release the WAVI Xtion, a PC-based 3D motion camera this year.
