Yes, I have Move.  The difference I'd say is for sports Move feels more precise and there's more of a sense of competition, whereas Kinect Sports feels more fun and a little looser.  I think both are good and I'm sure your family would enjoy Kinect Sports.

Thanks. That's exactly the sort of recommendation I was looking for. I'll have a scout around to see if I can see the game on the cheap anywhere.

Also, I'd avoid Joy Ride give your comments as I think you'd dislike it like I would.  It's awful next to say Modnation Racers (which my kids love, too).

Again, thanks. I'll be avoiding that.

If you wanted to be really picky, then on my experience the titles that work (would work) best Move/Kinect are:

Move

  • FPS/TPS (based on Killzone and Resident Evil 5)
  • Sports with raquets or holding something like a frisbee (based on Sports Champions)
  • Swordplay or Wands based stuff (Based on Sports Champions and previews of Sorcery and common sense)
  • Stuff like Tumble, Echochrome 2 (based on playing the games noted)

Kinect

  • Fitness (Based on trying out the fitness title for Kinect)
  • Dancing (Based on Dance Central)
  • Sports based around body - volleyball would work well with it for example, running, jumping, etc. (Based on Kinect Sports)
  • Guesture based interfaces (based on Kinectimals and the interface itself)

That all makes sense to me, and is largely what I had come to believe was the case. Basically, one is good for 'games' and the other is good for 'experiences', if I'm to paint with a ridiculously wide brush stroke to portray a fairly complicated situation. Perfecto.

BTW if you have Sky you can set up your 360 (with Live account) to stream Sky channels you have to your 360, which can be useful if its in another room from your Sky Box.  I don't use it much myself but my kids do sometimes and they say it works well when they 360 is in their room.

Nice feature, but no Sky here unfortunately.

Again, thanks for all the opinions. Very useful.
