1. Its difficult for me to describe my feeling here but at the barest level you have a controller which can truely work in 3 dimensions of space mated to a console which has more the performance of a 2.5 D machine. Now the HD twins are moving into the realm of crafting true 3 dimensional worlds but unfortunately how a gamer moves within the space is limited. Its quite frustrating and disapointing when I think about it really. My first thought when I played Gears of War was, "Man I love the new feeling this gives me, im really enjoying the possibilities with this play style". My second thought was, "I think this game would have been great with the Wiimote."

All games consoles have limitations in terms of technology. But for a game developer to truely craft an engaging world in 3 dimensions, at this point you can always use more power.

2. I set the sensitivity to high, I set it to low, I changed where I put the sensor bar (top/bottom) but I can't get it to work properly. My seat is very close to the TV and the way I have it mounted means I can't get a good angle on the sensor bar and the size of the TV doesn't help much at all.

P.S. What quote boxes?

 

1.         I think we're going to have to wait to next gen for that. Right now people will just have to be happy with the revolution that's already here. At least you see the potential. It is hard to get over for some. Similar to how I see the CGI artwork that's in movies and know that 1 day games will be able to do that and more. Just not now. I'm not going to hate on any of the systems for that, though. It seems kind of lop sided when HD only owners talk about it. They often fail to realize how big of a difference it can make.

2. Ahhh Now I see what you mean. From a normal distance it works great. If it were me, I'd want my TV to be setup where I get a clear scope of the whole tv and can enjoy it with company, anyways (serious bragging rights j/k). Not to mention I don't want to have to burn my eyes out looking at it. I'm not sure where your seats at, but it sounds like you're not viewing from directly infront, unless this is a really small room. I can usually get it to work fine from the side, if I set it up right, just as long as there's enough room and I still have a clear view of the tv. That's not really the ideal situation for any gaming, though.

 Way to kill those quotes. It was really starting to get out of hand. I didn't expect this to turn into a big discussion. I didn't think you needed Kulle to speak on your behalf, either. I'd much rather talk to someone directly, instead of having someone else vicariously answer for them. I can appreciate the other side if a person is reasonable.
