Ugh, everything I hear on Kinect sounds awful.  But goddamn... I NEED Project Draco, Steel Battalion, etc. :/

You mean everything you hear from PS fans.

All the MS fans seem to love it as well as the casual audience that is playing/buying it.

No, everything I hear in general.  Lag, recognition, shovelware, space... the space issue is a total deal breaker for my setup, so unless that changes I won't have much choice but to forego Kinect. Hopefully all those cool sounding JP games have pad based alternative control schemes. :/

Yeah the space issue made the idea of buying Kinect for Dance Central go out the door, it's really the only game I want from the launch lineup but I simply don't have that kind of room, in my room, the living room, or at my friends place (different place from the one mentioned in the OP)

I feel that's a distinct feature they should have thought about before going into development, me and 3 other friends would cram into my 2 by 2 cell I used to call a room and play Wii, I can do the same with Move (to an extent some Move games require a little more space to track the ball), but with Kinect that just isn't happening.
