Microsoft Kinect is amazing!!

I just got the Kinect from Microsoft and it's the most amazing device I have ever seen. My wife and I are in our 30s and we still have no kids and regardless of that we had a blast with it last night. We played with it for almost three hours. Quite a workout!!!

Just to summarize this is the most amazing revolutionized gaming experience. The device works perfectly and the fact that you don't use a controller since you are the controller is just out if this world.

Anyone else git one? Thoughts?

Nothing to do with a Wii. A Wii next to a Kinect is like comparing a DSSD to an Invicta. While Wii uses motion sensors and controllers, the Kinect has a camera and infrared sensors that detect all your moves and converts that into instructions to play games. The Kinect is the future at our fingertips. it even comes with facial recognition. It's like the best futuristic sci-fi movie you have ever seen.

I haven't played on the Kinect yet but I have heard and seen a lot about it
Judging by your review it works as intended
It's set to revolutionalise the gaming industry and takes user interactivity to a whole new level. Bring on augmented reality!!!

If you Google Kinect or Project Natal there is loads of info available

Thanks Hal! That thing looks cool. Too bad I have the Wii and the PS3 only... Better get the 360!

I also have a Wii and already had the Xbox. You definitely need the third option and the best IMHO opinion.

Yes, but look at it this way what other Rolex could you have bought for $150.00? The Kinect was a wise choice. I will have one come Christmas.
