Hmmm. With Voice on, it only works if you have your console set to sleep mode.

I will say this, Kinect will have issues IF you have people around TV on and everyone talking with each other. But thats kind of expected. I tend not to use voice if we have alot of people round, because some are laughing and joking, some are chatting etc etc. I use voice when its just me the wife and my kids. Turn the volume up really loud during Kinect voice calibration. Like over the top loud. This will help it negate the TV all the time no matter your volume.

My faveourite thing is actually combining control methods. I can surf the internet extremely fast. Part voice and part controller. Its really cohesive together.

Thats actually what impresses me the most.

I will look at the sleep mode setting too.

 

It is good to see that it will work.  I am guessing that I haven't spent enough time focusing on this aspect.  I also have 4 kids, so the "quiet" room is when they are sleeping.  That tends to be a time that I need to be quiet myself, and the headphones and remote are the way to go!

 

Hey, they just released a 'Zoo Tychoon' Demo.  Load that up for the kids and see if they like it.  Plus, it will solve that long standing problem with the "Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas."

Also calibrate!  Think of it like this -  you know the way to work, but you keep your eyes open because other things happen. Like people stop in front of you and you make adjustments.
