I'm disappointed in everyone in this thread. 75 posts so far and no one mentions the most important part of the topic at hand!

We need two polls to sort out this spin.

XBOne owners, did you really want the Kinect?

- Yes, feels like the future
- No, I took one for the team

Is Kinect 2.0 "a failure"?

- Yes, dead as a doornail, barely mentioned at E3
- No, five-ish million people have one

I think this is appropriate and also NSFW (language):

NO! No more polls, dammit!

Somewhere in the middle. I didn't mind paying $500 for the bundle. I don't love everything about it, but I don't regret owning it at all... despite the fact that I don't currently have it KINECTed. Extension cable, dammit!!

Pretty much, yes. It's fine for voice-command system UI stuff and awesome for Skype, but otherwise? I'm waiting on D4* to really show if Kinect 2.0 is necessary for games.

*D4 has a Kinect mode and Controller mode. The question for me is more about whether or not Kinect proves to be as good or better at the "experience" for this particular game.

If I'd thought there was a realistic chance they'd drop it this year, I would've waited instead of picking up the Xbone back in February. I'm not overly angry or upset, but it's fairly irritating that they basically gave the majority of owners the bird with this flip-flop. "Sorry you've got a $100 camera/microphone you're never going to use now that you don't have to. Thanks for the cash!"

And to the post saying "People who have one and don't want it can now sell it." Yeah, I'm sure there's a blistering market for something every current Xbone owner has and most don't want. Lightly used ones will probably be available for $15 or less for quite a while.

B. Big time. I hate the stupid thing that I can't even use without an extension cord that doesn't exist. I keep it plugged into my media closet. I've used it twice as a bar code scanner for included DLC and once yelled "Xbox Record That" loud enough to record a clip. I prefer pressing the Share button on a DS4 - much easier.

Not sure yet. I do think there's no future in motion gaming, that's for sure. I'm deeply worried about the hit Harmonix will take when their two Kinect games flop.
I guess some folks like using voice commands and it IS one distinction between the two consoles. That does feel like it might have a future - I guess there should be some functionality that most people who have a Kinect could enjoy. I'm just not one of them with my media set-up.

You could EBay the Kinect for $50 once people start buying the Kinect-less version, easy. Someone out there wants one, and if you can sell it cheaper than what it costs separately at retail, someone will grab it up.

Launch window blues. Not much can be done.

Titanfall w/ Xbox One w/ Kinect < $450 was still a sweet deal.

Tru dat. Much better deal than the bare bones for $399 that has everyone so excited.

Everyone is really excited for the new $399 model!

It's currently outselling the red hot PS camera on Amazon. (#50 and #60 respectively)

This thread had 2 posts the last time I checked it this morning, so I opened it to see what all the fuss was about.

Yeah, that's what happens with these threads. You expect one thing and get another.

I expected Aaron Paul to be better at Titanfall, but I guess he's too busy being productive with his life. This will not bode well for MS...

BS happens all around. I need to learn when not to take the bait from utter nonsense from some of you.

Yeah, this went WAAAAAY off topic when people started talking about PS4 and EA.
Anyone contributing to that discussion: you guys suck.

Closing thread.
