    Question Does anyone have an XBOX Kinect?

    If so, what are your thoughts? I really haven't gotten on-board with that type of game yet, but it looks most appealing to me versus the PS3 Move and the Wii. It seems like right now its probably a little gimmicky, but also that there would be some potential for some cool game ideas.

    A few of my gamer friends said that its actually a lot of fun, much more than they expected... anyway, for those who have played it, any games you can recommend?

    I like my video games to consist of a controller and serious button mashing.

    I am about 60 hours into Fallout: New Vegas right now, I thought it might be fun to play something a bit more light (and less likely to keep me up past 3 AM playing.)

    But then that wouldn't be any fun, would it? So now that you paused, are you soaking in the big MLB news now?

    I saw the threads in the what's new list, but chose to ignore it so I could go to sleep and then catchup in the morning, likely causing me to run a few minutes late.

    Re: Does anyone have an XBOX Kinect?

    I haven't yet actually. I have really debated on buying it or not but at this point in time I am to wrapped up in COD that I need to wait to purchase it so that I can actually play it. It looks like it is extremely fun and so I really think eventually I will get it. Hopefully Santa Claus puts it in my stocking this year.. That would be awesome. I've heard only good things about it though.

    Everyone around here dislikes the ps3 so I haven't heard anything from anyone. I think I'm gunna have to wait til after Xmas to buy it for myself. Not to mention it's sold out at just about every store. It looks pretty fun.

    I'm a PS3 guy too, but the Move just looks like a refined version of the Wii. Doesn't really seem like it is doing THAT much different. Not that it wouldn't be fun, I just don't know how much different it will be. Maybe I don't know its features well enough.

    Yeah.. I totally see what you're saying. If I'm paying a video game though I probably am not in the mood to get up and move around a ton. I'm a button smasher before I'm a dancer on kinect or anything else of that sort.

    Re: Does anyone have an XBOX Kinect?

    I been paying close to both kinect, move, and a little nintendo so i'll put my 2 cents in, but first i'm only speaking of the store i work in (very busy in the last while) and some news i heard along the way

    holy shit is the kinect ever selling fast, i wouldn't be surprised if it sold 3-5 million before the year is up if stock can stay high, soccer mom = big bucks, microsoft hit the nail on the head here but it's really a casual market right now and I don't see the real interest with a gamer.

    as for move isn't really showing anything right now that you can't find on the Wii and it's really not selling much other than the odd few that don't have a PS3 yet or is upgrading to the slim at the same time. but I heard its huge in Europe. the one thing move has over kinect is the potential of getting hardcore crowd hooked if done right like SOCOM.

    as for games for kinect and move, its hard to say because it's so soon so i'll wait til the summer or next holidays to see how that turns and see if microsoft or sony actually develops any good/great games for it

    now the wii has slowed down with the soccer mom and grandma's out there having one now, what I find funny in all this is that Nintendo is taking a step back from motion, pushing more of a controller, either wiimote side ways or classic, and just letting microsoft and sony fight it out. to me it seems nintendo is really banking on the 3DS to take over again
