I am still waiting for the first kinect to do what Microsoft said it would:

-Augmented reality -Fantastic Pets


-Scanning in Items -Build a Buddy/Googly Eyes


-Social Networking -not Twitter or Facebook but you can use it for Video Chat


-Milo & Kate / AI - AI doesn't really have anything to do wih Kinect.  It's software based.  As long as Kinect can recognize your voice (and it can) and has a response, it can be done.  Just look at Seaman for the Dreamcast.


-4 Players on screen-Just Dance 3


-Seating/Standing alternating gameplay -The Gunstringer


-Transfering items in Voice Chat - I have no idea what this means.  You're gonna have to show me a link/video


-120hrz camera -Not sure if that was promised.  You're gonna have to show me a link/video


-Movement that isn't posistion based registration.(ex Dance Central doesn't know you are dancing, it only snaps shots of you at certain positions.)   -Don't know what you mean.  I do know that, in Dance Central, if you're not doing what the character is doing on screen, at the moment they're doing it, Kinect knows.  It's not like Dance Masters (other Kinect dancing game) where you just have to be in a particular pose.  Dance Central IS dancing.


-FPS using Kinect Only -Nothing in that category.  I don't think Kinect is precise enough for that, anyway.   I'm gonna grab Rise of Nightmares and see how that works, though.  It allows full control and isn't on rails.  Not an FPS, though.  Heard it sucks.  Heard it was awesome.  Gotta see for myself.

Where are all these features I saw being advertised at e3?

I've got Dance Central, Dance Central 2, Fruit Ninja, Your Shape Fitness, Child of Eden, Kinect Adventures, The Gunstringer (with shitty Wavy Tube Man DLC).   I've tried a lot of the free Kinect Fun Labs apps, too.  The other games, (Fantastic Pets, Just Dance) are supposed to do AR and 4 Player--haven't seen 'em first hand, though.
