Just jumping on one and trying it out at Best Buy could give you a bad impression as you didn't get a chance to go through the set up process with it. It's quite easy to get outside of the "square" and not know it, leading to lag and non-detection.
I picked one up also. Just the Kinect itself as I already have a 360.
My step mom was thinking about a Wii. She has a form of Parkinson's which affects her walking and her doctor said a Wii may help a bit. Knowing nothing about consoles, they came over to try out my wife's Wii. But then I mentioned the Kinect and thought it'd be much better as she would use her whole body instead of just swinging her arms around.
Trying to get a Kinect was a bit of a hassle. I went around town last Monday and couldn't find a single Kinect. Plenty of 4g bundles, though. All the sales people said the same thing; once on the shelf they go quick.
Went back on Thursday morning and Best Buy had just restocked the shelf so I snagged one. So the parents came over Saturday and we all tried it out. We all enjoyed it and had fun so they decided to get one.
They just called tonight, Sunday, and said they grabbed the last 4g bundle at the last store they stopped at, Target.
So I can imagine that some people actually may have problem getting the Kinect or cheap bundle this holiday season. Stores are getting stock in, but it's going quickly. And the busy shopping season doesn't even start until this coming Friday.
