Kinect for Xbox 360, Microsoft, 2010; $149.99; www.xbox.com; ages 6 and up. Requires: Xbox 360.

Imagine a gaming experience where you don't have to hold any controller and what you do with your entire body controls what happens in the game.  Kinect for Xbox 360 does just that!  With a special motion capture sensor that sits in front of your television, Kinect puts all of you at the center of gameplay.  Whether your cresting the white water rapids in Kinect Adventures, kicking the ball down the soccer pitch in Kinect Sports, or kart-racing around a zany course in Kinect Joy Ride, you feel the action as you lean, jump, steer, swing, and engage your entire body in controlling the game.  Our kids testers LOVED Kinect, even if they sacrificed some elements of control that a tradional joystick or pad affords.  This will be a hit for the entire family!

My son asked me about this last night and then my wife this morning. I wasn't planning on getting it so soon but it looks like it's gonna be Kinect along with the Reach themed 360 for the kids this X-Mas.

Oh wait is this supposed to be a pile on Kinect thread? If so sorry for posting. Am I still in the MS forums?

My mom asked me about it the other day. I was so suprised! Seems like ms really have reached everybody with their advertising. My mom happened to see it on one of the morning shows.

Yeah you can't deny the marketing efforts, MS knows who they are after even if forum fanboys don't seem to.

It's not just marketing, its appeal too.  To say you don't have to use a controller appeals instantly to a ton of non-gamers.  Something that a number of vocal core gamers think is a weakness is actually a strength in the eyes of the larger market.  

So does Eye Toy.

I don't get this supposed "unique feature" phrases. At least people could make obvious it is able to track 3D, or voice recognition or something more high tech, but instead, they pick up a line known to be used on the Eye Toy marketing 5 years ago....
