By Wal-Mart?

Hopefully it's not as bad as their TV ads.



I thought it was already in some superman thing?

it was in smallville which is a tv show as oppose to a movie, and it was natal at that point.

any exposure is a good thing for kinect but neither of these programs will gather a big audience.



Proctor or Procter? Proctor sounds like something anal...

It begins.  Good marketing, btw.  My kid and I saw Microsoft/Nintendo products in several of the last few movies we watched (Alvin and the Chimpmunks 2, Despicable Me, Marmaduke, etc.).  Showing people having fun with their consoles in such an environment is a good way to sell their product to people.  I even remember seeing Shia playing the 360 in Disturbia.  Sony needs to follow their lead.  Last time I saw someone playing a Sony product in mainstream media was when the kid from "Heroes" was playing Heavenly Sword on the PS3 before it came out--and it got me so hyped for that game!



Man, it's just like the Power Glove in The Wizard!

Holy shit, it's gonna be MASSIVE!



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

Out of the U-Force, Rock N Roller, Activator, Power Glove, and Power Pad, which one made the most lasting impression?



ok, so it's not a toy company.  I just thought it was for some reason.

They make beauty products and cleansing stuff.

Power glove is at the very least a joke now, the others couldn't even manage that.
