I feel ya, man. Kinect isn't my thing, as I've yet to see anything I wanted to use it for, but I'd be upset if Nintendo got rid of the tablet controller on Wii U just because a noisy group was complaining about it, so I understand where you're coming from. If they'd actually finished developing their Illumiroom project, I think people would've gone crazy for the device. Don't know if you remember that, but it was the project that used the Kinect to scan your room and have some kind of projector extend the game screen beyond the edge of the tv screen, all over your room. That shit was so cool.

Thanks man!  From the responses I'm seeing in the real world, most people inted to buy the Xbox One with a Kinect.  So maybe the effect will be really slight.

Ah, the illumi room.  Yea, that thing was cool and it was using the old Kinect 1.0!  The reason I understand they pushed it back/delayed/canceled it because the cost of the projector was higher than they thought consumers would play.

Plus, Not sure how well it would work with dark wall, but a light coloured sparcly furnished room and you have a early Holodeck!
