Because you can use it for more the playing games, its uses stretches far beyond gaming. just think about using this to navigate in windows and when you are surfing.

i think this will be a great question to ask after this years E3
but so far im skeptical about it so im gonna wait and see

If there's a really appealing local multiplayer game and the whole thing is reasonably priced, yes.

Just because every phone nowadays have touchscreen dosent mean every phone is as good as the iPhone. Just because you can flip through movies and use it as a way to interact with your computer etc, dosen't mean that it'll do it in a good way. There might be lag, it might be unresponsive, not user friendly, complicated, glitches and bugs etc. Its still in a prototype stage so i dont see how anyone can claim theyll buy it day one.

Its like saying you're buying the new Sonys Multi Controller day one. Because it can emulate all previsous controllers, its backwards compatible etc etc.. all amazing features. But no one knows if it'll do the things its ment to do in a good way. All we've seen is a bounce ball game, how to paint with it and a broken avatar shoe promo.

Based off of that, and not what they promise it will deliver, you cant seriously claim that you'll buy it. We dont even know the price of it.

Yes I will buy it, the lag input will mutter even less when it comes to interact with your computer since you can use it for simple games so the lag that comes with it will be a miniscule problem when it comes to interaction. I agree with you for those wanting this day one for playing more complex games though but not for those looking to use it like I do.

Hmm... maybe? I want to see what all uses it and how the potential is initiated. If the wrong foot is put forward, then I'll have no interest in it, though as things stand now, it has piqued my curiosity.

Tomorrow they announce that no cables comes out of the box, it will be a $150 and you'll need to subscribe/get a gold membership to access 50% of the products features. They have no new games on release besides some apps (painting) and bounce balls. The reviews claim that it overheats and you have to use the device in cycles to keep it from burning through the power cord. They also claim that it dosent respond as easily as one first thought when interacting with the device and the camera seems to fail in estimating depth. Score 4/10.

We just dont know. And its just madness to claim that one will buy a prototype based off of the info released up until this day. Its all been PR talk and what they hope to achieve with the product.

And thats my main issue with people saying that they'll buy it at this point in time.

'roflmao I made the 100th vote :) 35% yes, 35% no and 30% maybe..

mostly no because people don't own a 360 I guess

If they had released it close to when they showed it at E3 then i would have not bought it but since it has been in development since then it safe to assume that it would not be that faulty as you describe it.

It has enough potential to be HUGE. MS has been working on this tech for a few yrs now. I dont think they'd throw us a damp squib.

Will version 1.0 be perfect?
Hell no.

But it can be good.
