Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Nope because it wouldn't work in my living room (nor 99% of living rooms in Japan funnily enough). Good luck trying to sell that thing over here!

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

I wouldn't be in the market anyway because I don't have a 360, but even if I did I wouldn't buy it. I believe that a controller is an important part of gaming and I don't like attempts to give you less tactile feedback (like using a touchscreen/touchpad for action games) or remove the controller altogether, as in this case.

However, even if I was interested, I would wait anyway (as I'm doing for the Move), because I want to see how well this stuff gets supported. Add-on peripherals have a tendency to flame out, and being 4-5 years into this generation isn't making me confident about their success. So far, I haven't seen a killer app that makes me want to get a Move. So far, it has been bland launch games and retrofits for existing games. I guess what I'm really waiting for a AAA title that requires the Move, or at least completely sucks without it. Supposedly, LittleBigPlanet 2 will make good use of it, so we'll see.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Not sure. I'll wait and see what happens within the next year or so.

Remember the Sega Activator for the Sega Genesis? It was $150.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Nope. Not even if it was free.

Really? REALLY...

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Really.

Someone gave me the Wii balance board (back when it was new) - never even took it out of it's box. Same level of interest here.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

I still don't believe that it works as well as they have hyped it up to seem.
I'll believe it when I see it in action. Even then, it would take an amazing game to get me onboard.


At least you can track your weight with that, which has some value.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

So you're saying it's as unecessary as a superfluous apostrophy?

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Woah. What the fuck? I can't imagine a more pain in the ass way to play a game.

Never have seen that before and don't remember it at all. What's sad is the movements the guy was doing kinda resembles the people on the Kinect commercials.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

I won't be buying one because it won't motivate me to get up and move, but it may very well record me masturbating in front of the TV and send it to everyone I know on Facebook.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

No it's as unecessary as spelling apostrophe with a y.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

I will probably get my son one....and maybe my daughter if she likes his....my youngest does not have an xbox and does not want one...so it looks like 300 bucks out of me...

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

I'm on the fence. I bit on the Wii and it's been a real let down. I'll wait and see what other games come out first.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

If I'm not petting a virtual tiger by this time tomorrow I'll just die I tell you!

I'm passing until my wife brings one home from work one of these days. The gaming room is very cozy and designed for optimum lounging so I don't think the Kinect will work well in there at all.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

I had no interest in the Kinect at all, but my wife saw a commercial for it and she wants one. I told her we'd go to Best Buy once it drops and check out the floor model to see how it looks in real life.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

uh... what IS it?

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

It's it.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Thanks a lot - my son saw your post and now my wife and I have to sit him down and explain to him what Facebook means.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

I'll get one when the porno games come out!

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

My girl wants one, so, while I won't be buying it, I'll probably have one.

That's fine by me because CHILD OF EDEN OMG OMG OMG.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Does this ship with that initial demo game where the boy on the screen reacts to your facial expressions and has conversations with you?

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

If the kid looks like this I want nothing to do with this thing...

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

This reminds me of Happy Fun Ball on SNL.
Don't TAUNT THE ACTIVATOR!

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

I really want to play Dance Central, so I will be buying one.

Re: Kinect: Are you buying one?
 

Bought one for my son. He is always watching the Skittles videos and we figured why not.
