I was a beta tester for it. I don't like it for regular games. Just doesn't feel right for some reason to me. However with that being said I do like some of the sports that are out for it. Kinect Sports is fun with a group of friends or by yourself football, soccer, bowling, and volleyball are a few of the fun ones. Kinect is also good for the workout/dance type of games.
All in all I don't know if I would give the $200 that they are charging for them. It just isn't worth that much to me. This is just my opinion only others may disagree.

I think it is overpriced so I don't have it. My wife's friend has one and enjoys the dancing games. I'm not into that. As for fun games without kinect, I like Skyrim and Fallout.

Be sure and upload some of those action shots on here. Those are some of the most embarassing photos. |

the games it came with are kind of hokey. i have dumped netflix home delivery for gamefly. i refuse to spend 60 bucks on a game and then find out i don't like it...or finish it and never play it again. i used to buy them on ebay when the got down to the 20 dollar range...but again, i end up with a pile of games that don't get played again. when i got gamefly, i looked at the kinect stuff. the workout programs are great. have not tried any of the other things for it yet. i noticed a huge improvement in software from 2010 to now. your review is right about hardware. to be honest, i don't play much of anything in the summer. our winters are so long and nasty that games are a good way to pass some time on gloomy days. when i get board with games from gamefly, i'll reactivate my WOW account  |

I doubt I'll ever get back into WoW. I'm not much into PVP, and the PVE is pretty repetitive. SWTOR was semi-decent (I liked the storyline aspect) until you get to the end-game. Its endgame is just flat weak.
And yet, I seem to be able to play Mario Kart Wii endlessly... Dunno what's wrong with me.

i'm old and easily entertained i play games on easy mode and skip the frustration of frequent death! i like WOW because i can walk away from it for months then pick it back up when i have time. haven't tried star wars yet, but my son has encouraged me to take a crack at it. |
