Kinect Review and Discussions

This item will be released on November 4, 2010.
So get in early as this will be a hot item for Christmas 2010.


Coming this holiday 2010, Kinect will turn YOU into the controller for games and entertainment, and it will work with every Xbox 360. Unlike 2-D cameras and controllers, Kinect tracks your full body movement in 3-D, while responding to commands, directions, even a difference of emotion in your voice.


You are the controller. Kinect provides a whole new way to play. It uses a sensor to track your body movement and recognize your face, even listen to your voice. If you know how to move your hands, shake your hips, or speak, you and your friends will be able to jump instantly into any Kinect experience.

Control the game with your own body movement. Get Kinect(TM) & an Xbox 360(R) Elite.


Full-body play. Kinect provides a new way to play where you use all parts of your body — head, hands, feet and torso. When you're the controller, you don't just control the superhero, you are the superhero. Full-body tracking allows the Kinect sensor to capture your movement, from head to toe, to give players a full-body gaming experience. Check out these videos and see how the XBox 360 Kinect works, it's an all in one gaming controller and more.

Fun has never been so personalized.

Gaming will never be the same. Get Kinect(TM) and an Xbox 360(R) Elite FREE, details apply. Includes a GameStop(R) card!

Kinect brings games and entertainment to life in extraordinary new ways - no controller required. Easy to use and instantly fun, Kinect gets everyone off the couch moving, laughing and cheering.

Discussions

Well, advanced or not, the new wii is a game system with a complete game and controller (not an unproven add-on like kinect) and has been extremely successful to say the least. $150 is not a competitive price by any standards.

Keep in mind, the 360 is a more powerful system capable of pushing HiDef graphics at 720p/1080i/1080p, unlike the Wii which is only 480p.

Well considering the Kinect so far appears much more advanced and far superior to the wii, I'd say $150 is completely reasonable. I have no problem paying that much for it and look forward to purchasing ours!

Get a Kinect(TM) game bundle.
