Forums - Microsoft - Who disconnected ther Kinect?

Voice control on Forza 4 was horrible, I could not have a conversation without Kinect sending me to an other menu and that was the reason I plugged it out (also felt quite embarassed that it took so long before I found out it also have an mic function).

mine doesn't turn on when i wave, only when I press the Xbox button my Xbox turns on
and I don't think it turns on by simply moving around, your kinect must be broken or defective, Unless you start ballet dancing each time you walk into the room while constantly shouting "XBOX" "XBOX " for some fucked up reason



Me, under my bed in a box, veeeeeery tempted to sell but a few people I know like playing with it occasionally. I'm hoping for another gem like Fruit Ninja to come along though.

Overall, Kinect has been crap for core gamers or even core games that appreciate casual games ... certainly given up hope anything amazing is ever coming!

I own the Kinect from day one and enjoyed it for like 2 minutes. The only people using it in my family are my kids and their stupid friends but it been bugging me lately because how easily it get turn on accidentally. You say "Xbox" it turns on, you walk by waving your hands it turns on. It been getting very annoying. Does this bother any other Kinect owner?

Do you leave your 360 running all the time? Because my Kinect is plugged in and doesn't do a thing unless the Xbox is on.

Keep your eyes out for Steel Battalion. It's your only hope.

I don't even recognize you anymore!

I might not use it all the time for games, but I use it regularly for voice commands with Netflix and other apps. The last game I played was the Power Up Heroes demo with my nephew, but not including demos it was ME3 voice commands.

I laughed out loud at that bolded bit.

I checked the OP's Gamertag (193 games to my 198 games. Very impressive.....) on Xbox.com. He's probably not trolling. I know I can go a few weeks without using Kinect but then I end up playing it nonstop. It's something you have to be in the mood for. Last time I played was probably last week. I was playing Gunstringer with the commentary and they mentioned how much fun The Maw was. I then went back and played The Maw from start to finish. I still love my Kinect, though. Hell, I'm tempted to get another just for my game room (though space is an issue in there).

I believe the OP has a legit issue but he just didn't explain it properly. Maybe he meant that he'd be watching Netflix and the Kinect would recognize him or something.


Sorry for the confusion. I meant when my Xbox is on it will randomly get activated when my kids jumping around in front of it.
