Hmm... Kinect isn't the holy grail. It has it's limits and most of those limits come from devs imagination/ability to operate it. I agree about the rest, it's not that precise but so was the Wiimote and it didn't prevent some devs from making great games.
Being able to block ads, I don't know about this. Maybe it's because I've work in marketing for so long, I don't think people should be able to block ads. What I think though is that people shouldn't be flooded by ads averywhere and especially if most of them aren't related to topics or prevent user from using their services for a brief time.
Some ads on VGChartz are extremely annoying. You know those that get bigger and make everything move? Or those ads on sites that have sound and you can't find them, or those popups... the should avoidable yes. Those on XBL I don't know, so many of them are related to topics it's like they're not ads but features. I understand though that some people don't like ads and want to remove them all, maybe the option to remove them should be there, I wouldn't use it on XBL though.

I understand that if you work in the marketing field, ads are the most important things to generate that revenu, I'm in a totally different field though, and they just seem intrusive unless I'm using the service without paying a premium, consumers like to have a choice if they are shelling money out. The problems I see with Kinect are more on the technical front rather than devs having the ability to make good games on it, the actual input method is a good idea, but the execution based on the hardware is crappy, and that's why I listed the needed improvements.

It's not perfect of course and yes it needs improvement... like say... anything? Anyway, to me devs are the reason games are bad. Controllers were bad back then but devs still managed to do wonders with them. I still think people live with grudge/hate for the sake of downplaying Kinect. Really I don,t see the big deal with it. I see what kind of possibilities a hand free device can bring to gaming and sometimes with the help of a controller or some kind of device, but for now we're not up there... I know and acknowledge this, no need to bitch constantly (not directed at you but to a lot of posters and that Marcus guy).
As for advertizing... I totally agree!

I see controller for what they are, even with Wii Motion Plus, Skyward Sword still wasn't perfect by far, and Move.... well, lets just say they purposely gimp it for FPS so people won't have an edge, it's the stupidest and most pointless thing ever made by Sony IMO. Kinect v1 is just not very good for a machine like 360 is how I see it, I think it has good potential though, think about a high res one with enough horse power on the device and the host device that can track thousands of points with good camera angles, that, would fucking rock.
