All gaming systems, consoles/PC, have thier perks... why fight over preferences? I like Coke and you like Pepsi, that's it, let's not fight over which toy we like best cause that's what they are. Is someone's preference in a toy important or is the relationship between you and your neighbor more important? Answer is obvious, but THE most important thing is your relationship with God almighty. God Bless you in Jesus's name.

I can communicate without talking... I can send a loved one money without actually sending money... and I can commit theft without the product disappearing, the point of theft is the point of theft not one of it's possible symptoms which is the product dissappearing. The thief wants to gain something without paying for it, that's the point of theft, the thief doesn't have to care or anybody else has to care if the product dissappears. The product dissappearing is just a possible symptom of theft. Gifts are sacrfices, in order to give a gift, it has to be a genuine sacrfice/gift, meaning a copy of the game isn't still in your PC. Piracy is theft and/or being a culprit of theft.

Best explination I have seen yet.  So with the calibrations of the many, many people they have already done.  Plus the ones they are doing in beta.  It seems that it should be pretty good from the start.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

To be honest the list of misinformation surrounding Kinect is actually breathtaking. The sitting down issue was mentioned some while back as a design decision by the games developers.

Kinect as seen by PS3 owners ...if you can pick at it   ...post it ... Did I mention the 360 was black and Shinny? Keeping Sigs obscure since 2007, Passed by the Sig police 5July10.

hahah you gotta love random hate threads, i am just thankful that most people dont come to internet sites to read whether they should get products because then they would get this load.

 

In other news I pre-ordered Kinect for $176... IN AUSTRALIA WOOOP WOOOP WOOOP

Have mine pre ordered amd will be purchasing 2 more games for it at launch. Kinect will be the perfect way for my fiancee and I to game together or for family events and such.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to KinectPS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

I pre-ordered mine without being aware of the "nightmare". Now it's problem solved ? cool

 

Our living room is going to be awesome

 



Yeah, although its usefulness sitting down is to be questioned. Since they can't do finger recognition, if you sit down you are basically left with moving your arms and upper body. Which in terms of number of inputs is quite limited. Also the first poster mentioned being lazy again, I don't think you find moving yours arms up and down for a long time very relaxing. Kinect will be absolutely excelent for excercise games, not sure it will manage to be much more interesting than the average PS Eye game beyond that though.



Great, Finally this will shut all the fat non- standing lazy haters up already, Kinect is gonna be Epic!!

(facepalm)

One of the main reasons I'm interested in Kinects is the ability to navigate my Xbox 360 with it... simply by saying Xbox on... Xbox pause movie.... and waving 1 hand to search through the Netflix, Last FM, or w/e... Im sure it wont take moving your arms a long time to search through to find a movie........ (sigh) people these days....

As for the games... I've read that theyre making some horror games for it... and that dance central game looks preeeettty good.

:3!!!
