Well its funny how Shadowblind who was the first person to reply to the message knew exactly what I was saying. If I meant something differant like what yous said I meant then I'd be having this conversation with Shadowblind and not yous.

I think Microsoft is RIGHT!!!!

Take a look at the past:  Introduced a marketing video about Knectic 3 years before it launch, just to get attention of the market and keep some momentum...

Knectic got everybody attentions, and deserve it, it´s really innovative.

What´s happening now: people start to think and put things together, understand Knectic limitations, etc..etc.. so the hype must be secure at least until cristhmas...

I believe knectic 1.0 is very limited to some type of movements, so, you will handle many games with same gestures, LOL..

go Microsft, keep rich and growing, you brought LIVE and gamers got better online services, now you bring Knectic and make toher companies MOVE. :)

MS is doing great job innovating on gamming, I respect a lot that!

Sorry, that doesn't cut it for me.

A review of hardware like Kinect is a review where the reviewer has the hardware and can test it in various scenarios, not in some mall that's been set up by the supplier.  That's a review.  Not the reviewer queing to try it at Macy's.

Two, while I know MS are continuing to work on Kinect with one month to go the hardware for launch has to be set.  Otherwise they are not behaving sensibly and risk releasing something buggy.

I don't get any need to hide Kinect though as it's been tested lots anyway and clearly the basic tech seems to work.

As for the games, that's where they seem to be playing coy and the main focus for me.  Again, unless they are risking releasing buggy titles, most games should be locked in now this close to launch, or very, very close to it.  In short, unless they are rushing the games to market - which I wouldn't support for other reasons - then there is no way they shouldn't be able to get reviewers copies of the games.

I actually don't think MS is looking to do much except avoid some low scores for the games in the same manner that some Move titles got, at least in the sense they won't be available at launch, but I don't like that and it simply destroys the whole notion of a valuable review.

The bottom line is they do seem to be tawdry in gettings games into reviewers hands (and by extension slow to get them the hardware, too).

I felt like I was reading MS PR when I read this post...

FYI, you need to put your search term in inverted commas in Google if you want it to pick up that term the way you typed it, otherwise it'll search for anything containing any of those words, with or without the other words.  There's a massive difference otherwise; search with inverted commas, 4 results; search without inverted commas 19.9M results.

No he didn't "know exactly what" you was saying, it seems you have reading comprehension issues as well as writing problems.  Try reading his post again.  Saying you having a opinion of your own is fine does not translate to what you wrote being remotely balanced or unbiased.  Keep digging, I've given you the easy way out but you want to keep shooting yourself in the foot.

Ah I couldn't give a shit what you think. Have fun playing kinect thats all I can say LMAO. At least I know what kind of gamer you are. Oh and by the way., Kinectimals is so good, such a manly game, pet tigers for the win and Milo, greatest game ever. I can't wait for that game to come out I'll finally have a real friend to play with LMAO. Now thats talking from a bias standpoint. Mybe you'll understand a bit better now.

You have serious restraint problems, can't you conduct yourself in a more mature manner and control your temper?

You do know that post was only to show what me being bias is like right?
