Liar!

You don't have a girlfriend! :P

@OP

My local game stop is sold out, what they have are the pre-orders waiting to be picked up.

I'll drive by Best Buy and a Walmart in my area tonight to see how it is fairing at those locations.  I am expecting to find empty shelves.

they displaying it at selfridges store window and also there is a large HMV store in oxford street where you can play with kinect... if you don't mind going on a small stage..

anyway checkout the best buy employee... this is how you demo kinect!!!!

Dude I doubt I can pull those moves off :-O

Anyways I hope Kinect is big, I really would like to see what kind of games it can pull off with more time spent

I was watching the news in the morning(Fox 5 news) and they said there were more than 1000 people lined up for the midnight release for Kinect, some people waited more than 24 hours!

at my gamestop(Stamford CT) there was about 20 people lined up for kinect

i think its going to be big in the states,uk,canada etc obviously, could become a holiday must have somethig always is

imagine if the japanese take to it,you never know,now that would shake things up

The GS in San Francisco's Financial District did a midnight launch. The sales girl told me they had about a dozen people show up, several of whom bought more than one. They had about 30-40 pre-orders, many of whom bought more than one unit and all initial stock was gone before noon.

The campaign is going to be massive, weren't they allotted 500 million dollars for advertising? Talk about pushing a product!

I picked of my pre-order today, and I've spent about 5 hours playing 3 games - Fighters Uncaged, then Dance Central, and finally Kinect Adventures, and I was pleased with them all, I must say. first off:

- Fighter Uncaged is a pretty decent game, and it really shows the benefit of having a full body motion controller for the game.  The game isn't as lightening quick to response like Dance Central, but if you get the timing down for attacks and blocking, it's a decent fighting game.  It's also going to have you huffing after a long sparring period, but the same will probably be said for most kinect games.

- Now, Dance Central,...the game is TRULY the best title out of the three I played (Got U-Shape for the Wife's B-day, so I didn't open that).  The movements and motions are smooth and crisp, and your really will be dancing, or you will fail fail fail.  This one also had me huffing alot, and I bombed on Soulja Boy...but it was fun.  This is probably going to be a huge title, and probably massive in Europe, since they seem to be into it as well.  I will say this tho...dancing games are big in Asia as well, at least on the arcade level from my trips there in the past. 

- Kninect Adventures...aka...free title.  It's okay, and if you have kids, are you are an achievement whore, it's a good choice.  That will be how I utilize it, as even my 2 1/2 year old will probably be able to enjoy it.

Overall, it is cool to navigate with the hands free, and while it's not "revolutionary" like the Ipad (tongue in cheek), it is a totally different spin on anything I've seen to-date.  It really does work, and is it prefect yet...nope, but one can easily see how in 6-12 months, games on this platform will perform with better timing and accurracy.  I can see why M$ boosted the sales projects...I think it's going to be huge...Halo huge.

Here in Australia it doesn't release for  another 9 days yet I saw an ad about 3 days ago a very good ad actaully. It has also been featured on the national news.
