This holiday season is going to be one of the best the 360 has seen to date. I am fairly certain I will be broke the entire time thanks to the lineup they have coming.  I have no doubts they will continue to keep me and my "hard core" game addiction taken care of.  As long as there is money to be made on the hard core audience Microsoft will be there with their hand out to take our money...

I don't see why the two can't co-exist together.  While I mainly want exercise and dance games for the Kinect, I will continue to be a "hard core" player.  But anything that will get my couch potato loving ass up and moving around is a good thing and I can't wait.

Then maybe you should get a wii, since it came out with fitness games a long time ago. Or you could get a gym membership.

I was planning on getting a Wii, I actually like the system a lot.  There are several games that I enjoy on it, but I don't have enough time to justify purchasing it and the Kinect.  So I will just role with the Kinect as long as its not a washout.

My work pays for a gym membership for free, and I do go a couple times a week.  But since I have been getting older, you have to do more to maintain.  And being a couch potato doesn't help.

Just because I am a couch potato doesn't make me a fat bastard with no life.  Keep that in mind mate.  I am 38 years old and I probably could beat you in a 5 mile race.  

Actually he did state that he had demoed the Kinect and that he thought it worked fine.  Here is a quote for you since you apparently can't read or missed it....

"Microsoft will launch Kinect on November 4, but earlier this week I got my own hands-on -- or should I say, hands-off -- demo, and was impressed. Moving from menu panel to menu panel is as easy as waving and swiping your hand; selecting an item just involves letting your hand (and the onscreen cursor) linger for several moments over it. The experience isn't nearly as seamless or as speedy as the glorious futuristic interface UI designer John Underkoffler created for Steven Spielberg's sci-fi thriller, Minority Report, or the UI Tony Stark tinkered with in Iron Man 2, but Kinect's gesture controls will remind you of those interfaces in a very good way. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if people walked away afterward thinking Microsoft's latest device was a significant step toward the day when those interfaces are the norm and not some Hollywood pipe dream."

Your comments insinuated that the guy was clueless about the Kinect and that he had never played it.  Did you say that in exact terms? No..  Why does that make you lose credibility?  Because it shows that your reading comprehension is lacking. just because the guy didn't go into massive details about every little thing the Kinect does right or wrong he either A) hasn't tried it or B) is wrong or C) doesn't know what he's talking about.    

The person that wrote the article stated that he had played the demo and that he had enjoyed it.  His main concern was the price.  So maybe the guy didn't think there were any "Huge" bugs with the system.  And as for my understanding of what it takes to write an article for CNN its apparent its much higher than yours

So I'm guessing a majority of people on this site don't know Mega 64? You know, the guys who did Katamari in Real Life, Assasin's Creed in real life, and "I HOPE YOUR HAPPY BUNGIE!".
