That's the thing, kinect is just not being used properly by developers. First of all, I think the tech itself needs to be sharpened, be more accurate, more consistent, etc. But apart from that, developers that try something on it generally release very mediocre titles, and others stay away from it. so it becomes this waste of tech sitting in your media center. I would take Bluray tech over kinect anyday. We have shifted to bluray tech so it is nice to have one sitting in my ps3 rather than having to buy a dedicated bluray player. Games are getting bigger and no longer fit on dvd discs, I know you say swapping games happens rarely, but it still happens in some games, and disc-swapping should have died when the ps3/xbox360 came out.
Who knows, maybe a developer will come out from left field and create the killer kinect game that will make it worthwhile to have, but the chances are slim. I think kinect needs another generation or so to REALLY become seamless. Good for MS trying this thing out, but it still needs improvement - and today, I would choose the bluray tech in my gaming console rather than kinect (and any other motion gaming stuff). I bought PS Move, biggest waste of money. I had a blast playing table tennis (incredibly accurate) in that game it came packaged with whatever that was called cant remember now. But it was wasted potential, and i just much rather simple button presses on a gamepad.
