for those that are just dead against kinect i just thought about something and why it may not be possible to turn it off.  one of the benefits of the kinect is it's ability to recognize the contoller. that benefit for the kinect haters is the biggest problem.  there is no controller number indicator on the controller now.  i'm pretty sure you can plug it in and recognize the controllers like before.  


Ok? What does this have to do with the fact that a lot of people don't want the Kinect and feel its being forced upon them. The Kinect will be just as useful as before, just more multimedia friendly and powerful, but its not going to change in the games department. Its still going to be very, very shallow without an added motion remote. Microsoft is just forcing it upon us because they dont want to risk letting the market decide about a peripheral device a second time. They know lightning wont strike twice. Xbox Live was forced upon us and people accepted it, now they want to do the same with the Kinect saying the Xbox cant work without it. Theres someting very, very wrong about this picture.
