I still would take CNN's word over any game sites including VGC's.  They are known and respected, whether you like them or not.

i thought people hated CNN as much as Fox News? i myself don't trust any news source at all.

Trusting CNN on gaming/tech is like saying Yahoo gaming articles are full of win....a myth..they do however reach a broad casual audience so it's good publicity for the product nevertheless

anywho funny video

Have you even read any of CNN.com's tech area?  They are usually spot on with everything put up.   Comparing anything yahoo does with CNN is a bit silly.  CNN does the news, its their job and they have plenty of awards to prove they do it well.  

The problem most gaming sites have is pretty simple.  They take theirselves to seriously, and CNN is usually more centered.  

Did you read the article? The CNN author doesnt give any feedback about how well it is working in reality. His article and comments are based on the affirmation that the technology is working exactly as specify by Microsoft.

I actually read the article and several others that CNN has had on Natal/Kinect.   CNN has had several demos of Kinect throughout the entire time Natal has been made.  Do you think the guy wrote this shit without actually having played any Kinect games?  You lose all credibility if you do.

Did I say I tought he didnt play the game? Even if I did, why would I necessarily loose credibility? Anyway thats not the case, like I said, he didnt preview how it was working in reality versus the concept, not that he didnt play the games. Maybe he didnt played them but that wasnt my point. Still, im curious, why would I loose credibility? Is this journalist recognize as being very inform about the products he preview? Do you have a good understanding of what is required to write article on the CNN website? On what basis would I loose credibility if my point was that he didnt play the game since he didnt report any of the problem others have reported? Very nice of you to say I would loose all credibility just because of that...

Actually he did state that he had demoed the Kinect and that he thought it worked fine.  Here is a quote for you since you apparently can't read or missed it....

"Microsoft will launch Kinect on November 4, but earlier this week I got my own hands-on -- or should I say, hands-off -- demo, and was impressed. Moving from menu panel to menu panel is as easy as waving and swiping your hand; selecting an item just involves letting your hand (and the onscreen cursor) linger for several moments over it. The experience isn't nearly as seamless or as speedy as the glorious futuristic interface UI designer John Underkoffler created for Steven Spielberg's sci-fi thriller, Minority Report, or the UI Tony Stark tinkered with in Iron Man 2, but Kinect's gesture controls will remind you of those interfaces in a very good way. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if people walked away afterward thinking Microsoft's latest device was a significant step toward the day when those interfaces are the norm and not some Hollywood pipe dream."

Your comments insinuated that the guy was clueless about the Kinect and that he had never played it.  Did you say that in exact terms? No..  Why does that make you lose credibility?  Because it shows that your reading comprehension is lacking. just because the guy didn't go into massive details about every little thing the Kinect does right or wrong he either A) hasn't tried it or B) is wrong or C) doesn't know what he's talking about.    

The person that wrote the article stated that he had played the demo and that he had enjoyed it.  His main concern was the price.  So maybe the guy didn't think there were any "Huge" bugs with the system.  And as for my understanding of what it takes to write an article for CNN its apparent its much higher than yours.
