???....don't see what these two have in common....whatever floats your boat MS. lol



I'll tell you what they have in common, Microsoft are trying to position Kinect as a product just like the iPad, completely original and basically the next big thing. Just mentioning iPad in the same sentence as 'something else' gives you free publicity for the 'something else'. 

It's just smart PR, whether it's correct or not, it's smart.

How dare you come up all in here in everyones faces with those New Zealand dollar prices. How dare you act as if the NZD is the universal currency of the world! You are infact worse than an American because at least an American has the American economy to back him up!

Maybe he got so comfortable using Kinect on the sofa that he let his lips waggle a little too much?



Tease.

They should've just said, MOVE instead of iPad to get fans all over the world riled up and have 1000 post long threads made on forums.

These PR people have no tact!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
