Okay, I hate movement style gaming. With that said, I see a next gen of gaming with Kinect. I think you just gotta try it to appreciate it. Something I never thought I'd say. I don't like kicking a virtual soccer ball but for some concepts, the Kinect is game changing. Dance games, yoga, excercise can be pretty fun. My buddy actually looks slimmer now! He was a beta tester. I think thats funny when you think about it. I don't want gaming and exercise to go hand in hand but if you can get past that block, this is well worth buying.

thats cool!!! I think as motion sensing technology improves we'll be able to have better and better games and more and more fun!
Maybe one day Halo 10 will be motion sensitive.....that'd be awesome!

From what I understand, the technology is no where near where it would need to be to replace controllers, but I'm guessing that within our lifetimes it will be. It looks really cool, although I can't see too many competitive gamers picking this up other than to just mess around or play casually with friends, family, etc.

Yeah it's definitely family/friends type of thing. Honestly, I don't want to sweat when gaming. At that point, it's exercise! I appreciate Kinect as an exercise device. It will change things for sure. I agree that it's not perfect yet. It's a big step but accuracy needs to improve.

Ya. From what I understand, there's a fair amount of input lag and sometimes there's recognition problems. But it looks like It'd be a lot of fun.

I played Kinect the other day....it is FUN!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah there is a bit of lag but its great. I played Kinect Adventures and Your Shape Fitness Evolved. Both very fun and tiring lol.

Yeah we've been playing it a lot actually. Never thought I'd enjoy it, but I was WRONG. It gives me a chance to work on my dance moves without ridicule!
