No value? None at all? To who? Your opinion is the opinion of everyone? 

Has Microsoft shown anything that justifies paying an extra 100$ for it?

What in the world does this have to do with what I wrote? How can you put a price on that experience? If I say yes would you try to dispute my opinion?

Glad they changed that, if I get a X1 the kinect isn't leaving the box.


So, you wouldn't even hook it up and try it out?  You just paid $100+ for it and your not going to hook it up because why?

Because there are people who don't want it.stupid answer really.

fixed....

not having it plugged in all the time maybe even though it's stilldumb

but living it in the box would be like leaving your TV remote in the box because you don't want it and will use the side buttons to opperate it.... it is your right.... but it is still stupid....especially since you can deactivate most features....

I actually like how it's being implemented into Dead Rising 3, that and the voice commands for bringin up snap and changing the controllers. There are a lot of subtle experiences to be had with kinect, you can't say there is no value.


I thought Dead Rising 3 was going to use the tablet? IF the Xbone uses a tablet the PS4 will most likely be no different. I never said theres no value in the Kinect but its used up its publicity.

It does. I'm talking about when if you make a noise the zombies in DR3 can hear you and they flock towards you, or you can whistle and it'll distract them.

Good news, now I can leave the Kinect in the living room when I want to use the box in my home theater. There is no room there for Kinect on a bare wall with a fixed mounted screen. Jumping around in the dark blocking the projector beam doesn't make any sense anyway.
Next get rid of the power brick, makes moving a lot easier. The 360's power brick lies next to the AV stand with a separate extension cord so I don't have to dig it out every time, ugly.

Why is it stupid? I don't have a choice to not buy it. And I don't want to use it. So it stays in the box. Is that a problem for people? You like Kinect, great. I don't. So It just will sit in the box.

That's completely subjective. to me it has tons of value.

OT: I'm glad they are doing this, it would be pretty bad if Kinect was required for the console to operate.

Oh, you can do that with the PS Eye. It just depends on whether the devs decide to do it.

Then whats the point of not letting the people decide the fate of the Kinect? My friend sent me this meme. It makes a lot of sense.
