Yesterday's Penny-Arcade was quite funny... and about the Kinect.

Hey, you're right. That was about the Kinect.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

:lol: Pretty good. :lol:

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Well I caved and ordered one now I have to reorganize the TV room before it arrives. Played with one at a friend's house and it required a lot more open floorspace for two player games than I was expecting.

Loving the Kinect, and that's just Adventures. Have Dance Central and Kinectimals waiting for Christmas.

I do have a technical question. We have a projector, and I need to run an extension cord (yes, I asked this same question earlier in the thread, but here me out). I can run one cord, and Kinect works fine. However, the actual length (to be able to hide the cable) would require two, and when I hook up two, the Kinect won't work. Anyone have any suggestions? Would something like this work: http://www.amazon.com/Meters-Active-...I/ref=lh_ni_t_

Got Zumba for the Move, Gold's Gym Dance Workout for the Wii, and Dance Central for the Kinect. Going to see which one I like the most =) I'm not really into fitness games yet, but dance games sound awesome, especially since you can download new ones. I know the 360 will have a great selection, wonder about the PS3. And do you need a Gold subscription to download stuff?

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Not sure anyone here will have the answer for that, may want to try avsforum. I have a projector setup as well, but all my equipment is in the front of the room near the screen (it's an apartment.)

GatorDeb -

No, you don't need a gold membership to buy new songs/dance routines in Dance Central.

Nope.

I downloaded the Sonic Riders demo the other night. I didn't like it at all, it was the first Kinect game I have played that wasn't responsive like it should have been. It could just be because the demo is screwed up, who knows.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Sonic Free Riders is one of the most poorly reviewed games for the Kinect launch, I can almost assure you that it has to do with it being shit and not the demo being screwed up. Case in point: http://www.gaming-age.com/review/xbo...ic_free_riders

That said, you could also try re-tuning the Kinect tilt to get a better view of your feet.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

even if I could get it to be more responsive, the game doesn't look to be very fun. :lol:

Funny and evidently not far fetched at all:

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Why do they keep referring to Kinect as a console in that article?

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Kinect owners : Are you still playing with it? Using it to navigate menus or watch Netflix? Are you still happy with your purchase after a month or two?

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Yep still enjoying it. The wife loves Dance Central ( I do too, not gonna lie), and we just had a Christmas party where Sports and Adventures were a hit. Still lots of fun. I'm still excited for the possibilities.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

I just watched the video. Who would have touching air?

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Still using mine pretty regularly as well, definitely getting more use than the Wii when I first got that.

I don't use it for navigating much though as I don't have Netflix and have no reason to.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

I think you mean, "why is his other hand on the desk?"

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Well, my parents visited for x-mas today and brought the Kinect.

Extremely painless set-up and it is much more fun and way more responsive than the BB demo we tried a month ago. I am very impressed with it so far. Briefly played with Adventures and Dance Central. My 6 year old has been on Kinectimals for over an hour an half and I will basically have to drag him away from it. Needless to say, it's a hit. Glad I only have one kid as I can see many kids fighting over whose turn it is.

But as many have said, you really need a good piece of room to play with it. I am lucky with my set-up but I can see some extremely disappointed kids come x-mas morning when families realize they don't have enough room.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

I'm tempted to grab this with the Brunswick Bowling game from TRU. Has anybody played that yet?

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Porn star geek girls on Twitter are posting vids of themselves playing Kinect in the nude. This could be the best marketing gimmick ever.
