Forums - Microsoft - Is kinnect worth it?

So is kinnect worth it? Let me just say I want to buy kinnect and stated several times that I was fascinated bye the tech,but can't really afford it right now,so could I get my minority report/The gamer fix on,with this device. Does it work like a dream? Am I really missing out? Again I'm more interested in the tech,then the games for it.

Wait for more games untill you feel you need one and don't care about the price.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


It depends. What type of gamer are you? Also if you don't really have the money to buy it then don't worry about it. Kinect is not really a technology that hasn't been seen before and the line-up isn't great. The tech is quite nice but needs some upgrades and needs things that were promised.



im waiting until forza 4 (Probably mabye ill get it earlier) but i heard its really cool from my aunt



i saw this person from microsoft at bestbuy playing on kinect. i think she was there to advertise the system. she had very hard time calibrating. she tried to kick the soccer ball and she just couldn't get the kinect to read her correctly. it took her 5-6 times to get it right. 

I don't know. Kinect seems to be such a innovative idea but it is like 3D TV. idea itself is amazing but technology is not up to the level yet.

No, I suggest you wait. Nothing on it other than Dance Central, so if you want to get a dance game, go for it, or wait some months for something more like a game.



Only if you love on-rail games.



Boycott it until there are good games for it because as of right now, its software is lacking.

It Great, But you might want to wait for some better games.



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords 

Few things are worth it early on, if you wait a while there will be more games and the price will go down!

I was a late adopter this gen and will probably be next gen as well, I see no point in owning things right away any longer (hardware, that is).
