Kinect Launches November 4 in North America

I'm sold. I'll upgrade my Xbox too.

" @giyanks22: Gamestop says that a Kinect will cost $150 standalone, $300 bundled with an Arcade console, or $400 with an Elite.
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3179848  Pretty steep pricing if you ask me. You could almost buy a Wii for the price of a standalone Kinect (assuming Gamestop is correct). "

I'm not really sure anymore. I've never actually tried it out myself, so for all I know it could be a ton of fun. But unless I have plenty of spare cash laying around when this is released (which I doubt), I'll most likely be passing. I'm not really digging the whole motion tracking stuff that developers are going crazy with this generation. 

I couldn't give less of a fuck about this gimmick. I'm a big fat slob, because I like playing videogames and not running around like a freak or benchpressing stacks of weights all day. it's not like I wander around all week, talking about how I'd sure love to do some physical activity, but if only there were some sort of "game" to facilitate that.

With the games they showed at E3? No thanks.

150 seems reasonable if it came with a few games, otherwise, it seems kind of insanely expensive.

I don't think I'm getting this.  

I've changed my mind. I will not be buying Kinect for $150 if each game also costs $60. 200+ dollars just to get started with a game? (at least according to gamestop's online pricing) Count me out. For $150 i want kinect sports and joy ride packed in at the very least. Joy ride was supposed to be a free avatar game in the first place.

Haven't watched the Microsoft Press Conference so I'll wait to see footage before I pass judgment.

I need to see more on the Kinect before I can decide to get one.

Name still is kind of stupid.

" I'm still waiting to hear a price. "

it seems alright.

Child of Eden looks cool at least.

Meh. I am totally underwhelmed. Some of the tech looks neat, but I don't see it being for any non-casual games. And I hate the name.

I am totally not interested in the games, just the interface stuff.

I'm pretty underwhelmed by the Kinect still.  Maybe once I've seen all 15 launch titles I'll be able to decide.

The more I saw of kinect at Microsoft's press thing today the less I cared about it.

I find it strange that they didn't announce the price at E3, which makes me think that they wanted to avoid all the price based flame that may result... which makes me think that the Kinect may cost around the $150 that was being tossed around a couple months ago...

Doubt it.

" Kinect is a pretty weird name. "

 I think the biggest problem with Kinect is the fact that it's so radically different from the competition. Now, different ways of playing games are good and all, but I feel that the Sony Move is in the better position because it almost exactly mimics the Wii remote. Basically, anything the Wii does, Sony can ape with better graphics and 3D, which is sure to attract consumers. What can Kinect do in relation to everyone else, other than games solely developed for it? Would developers really be willing to develop for something that only makes up 1/3 of the potential market, as opposed to 2/3? It's simply too unique in that regard.    

 not worth the price. maybe at 80

No real interest in this, my interest in all these motion cap stuff is very low, I actually WANT a controller. I enjoy the controller experience.  At least Move retains some of that, but I probably won't buy that either. 
 
Just give me a good old gamepad, a couch, and some solid games and I am happy.  I move around enough in my daily life, gaming is my break from that.

Dun' care about Kinect/Natal/stupid name at all, the games they've announced suggest that the future applications for this thing amount to "Hey look you can wave your hands around like you're playing one of those Wii things except without the controller I don't know just wave your fuckin' hands and open your Zune app wheeeeeee it's a party!"
 
And that's kinda dumb.

Kinect is a pretty weird name.

Not only is it Wii 2.0, I have a good guess that games will still be 60 bones and probably not much better than Wii quality minus the HD. I already have a Wii and play the Xbox for the style of games already on it without this gimmick.

lame

" Unimpressed! "

Not even close to wanting this.

It just feels like Microsoft (and Sony) have said fuck it, Nintendo, you were right, there's money here. Microsoft paid way too much attention to this and not enough to actual games. I want games I control with a CONTROLLER damn it.

I'm not gunna lie, but every launch title they showed (and even the other 9 on the board at the end) was absolute shite. The only promise it even showed was the two 2011 titles, and even the Star Wars game looked cruddy.

I don't like it and I don't want it.

I don't want it but I don't think I'm who MS is aiming it at anyway.  They want the Wii moms.  Hence "Kinect Sports"  (Why does that sound familiar?)

The only game i thought i'd be interested in was the Star Wars game, which ended up looking terrible, so i'm gonna give this a miss i reckon, especially if it ends up having the $150/£85 price

The only way to sell me on Kinect is to show a killer app and announce an appropriate price.  What was shown so far wasn't enough but the tech did seem to have potential.  Only time will tell.

Nope. 
 
Weirdly, my GF ended up watching an old Kinect (Natal at the time) video and she said she thought it was awesome. She looked heartbroken when I told her the video was nothing but lies.

does this mean there's going to be a sequel to Totemball?

 The only game that looks even slightly interesting to me is the dance game. The rest look like it should be packed in with the system.
So I guess that's a no for me.
It looks like it works better than I expected though.

I preferred the natal name, it'd had kinda grown on me.

The press conference definitely changed my interest from meh to keep a close eye on this. Like many others, the price point will ultimately determine a purchase or not.

MS cannot present new ideas to save their lives.

Sorry Microsoft, but just not interested in Kinect. I watched the presentation today and far too many of the games came across as high definition version of Nintendo Wii games. People would call me a hard core gamer and none of these games appealed to me sadly.

Damn them. I really wanted to have nothing to do with this thing, but they gotta go and make a Star Wars game for it...

If they charge $149, then no way. Nothing I saw there looked like something I had to get. 

Its interesting but unless is has some must have games or a low price, I'm going to pass.
