OFFICIAL Kinect thread.

[blurredvision]

Might as well get this one started so all the hate can be spewed forth before we actually get hands-on impressions of the thing. I don't plan on buying one nor do I think it will be ultimately successful based on the demos I've seen of it so far. It just doesn't look like it functions good enough.

Anyone here actually planning on buying one? Pre-orders are apparently very, very strong, but the real test will be how it performs once people get their hands on it.

Launch: November 4th
Price: $150

Hopefully that covers pretty much all of it...

I don't intend to ever buy one, but a friend is getting one for free so I'll get to see it first hand at some point.

I'm definitely not picking this up. My daughter would rather play Halo and Scott Pilgrim with me, but I will get a chance to play it when my sis in law picks it up this Holiday season.

Likewise. Nevermind that I also think the Kinect looks pretty terrible but time will tell. For the moment though I'm much more willing to buy Playstation Move but even it looks lackluster right now too.

Hey everyone! Look! It's the official "Look like a freaking idiot when the neighbors walk by when you swing your invisible sword, throw your transparent grenade and pretend to pet your invisible bengal tiger called 'Skittles' all while holding a blue umbrella and dancing to cirque de sole thread"!

This describes motion gaming as a whole, not just Kinect.

Better than running around in the dark with a glowing dildo on the PS3.

Ha, at least the Move is accurate to 1mm/1ms mark compared to the kinect which takes like 5ms to respond to movement.

 

[Tristicus]

Kinectimals?

GODDAMN, HOW COULD THIS PLATFORM FAIL!?

Now you can sit and play kinect. So, the ultimate question is:
Color Dildo vs. Seizure, which would I rather the neighbors see?

lol @ 1ms...

a normal ps3/360 controller has more than 1ms lag.

ps move has 22ms.

Lol @ Sorta-Kinda-Broken Xbox 360

It's just a matter of technology. Obviously the Kinect cannot be as accurate as the Move but you have the advantage of not having to buy hardware for every person that wants to play and you don't have to hold a "glowing dildo". Me personally I don't like motion technology at all on any system but we've got to start somewhere.

you should really work on making your trolling a little less obvious, it's not even really fun to read anymore.

You're the one running around screaming how awesome and quality made the xbox 360 is...yet your signature is a complete contradiction of the crap you post....:hmm:

1. link me to my posts claiming how quality made the xbox360 is.
2. i dont even have sigs on no clue wtf my sig even says.
3. your posts now officially have nothing to do with the topic at hand, in the official kinect thread.

i would say this is casiotech on a new account, but this guy isn't quite as good of a troll as casiotech was.

 

[RavenSEAL]

2. i dont even have sigs on no clue wtf my sig even says.

That good enough for ya?

The rest of the proof you can find it wherever there is an xbox thread in which you posted.


Back on topic now...Kinect sales won't touch the move, already sold 3.5m units in EU.

 

[purbeast0]

so me selling a broken xbox is proof that i think xbox360's are well made? wtf are you talking about.

but actually...

I think kinect is worse than move by far even though neither are for me. Kinect will definitely sell more. I'll put money on it with any of you idiots that want to lose money and don't know anything about marketing or business.

The Oprah show is gonna sell around that many Kinect boxes alone.

Remember folks: when you feed the troll it just gets bigger

In related news, this looks like the first Kinect bundle out there: http://www.logicbuy.com/deals/microsoft-xbox-360-4gb-kinect-xbox-live-bundle/26348.aspx

Pretty good price considering all the goodies thrown in.

Amazon was offering a $30 gaming coupon with Kinect and an extra game for $200. Deal looks dead now though.

There are rumors that Kinect will be in short supply due to high demand so that may be why it's been removed. Wal-Mart had a similar deal at one point too.

Except that two Move controllers cost less than a Kinect (which only supports two players).

 

[Deeko]

Move starter bundle (camera + controller + game): $100
Move navigational controller: $30
Additional Move + navigation controller: $80
Total for 2 players: $210

Granted, you could potentially already have a camera, and maybe you don't want navigation controllers, but to get the full fledged Move experience from scratch, its not cheaper than Kinect.
