Kinect Launches November 4 in North America

The pitch was made this afternoon.

Today, at its E3 press conference, Microsoft announced that Kinect is launching on November 4 in the North America alongside fifteen compatible games. No price details were announced, but some retailers are beginning to publicize speculation that the hands-free device will launch at $150.

Sadly no, not enough titles of interest to justify a purchase. It's the reason I bought a 360 instead of a Wii for the exact same reason all those years ago. Having said that, I'll still keep an eye on it since it seems 2011 will be the year for actual games if they have that many publishers pitching in.
 
So want their new 360 slim tho.

Based on the stuff shown at the press conference? Definatly not. Sure, it can be fun to flail your arms to collect orbs, or run on the spot and simulate you're running on a track. But I'm not paying 200$+ (which Kinect will probably cost) for something like that. And the Star Wars "zomg"-title they showed a demo of just looked like a mediocre beat-'em-up on rails.
 
I can definatly see a market for it, but it really just isn't something for me. But I guess time will tell, there really wasn't a lot of gameplay shown that can confirm/deny my feelings towards it.

Notice how they didn't announce the price? They didn't want to kill all of the good buzz by announcing that it will COST HALF THE AMOUNT OF THE XBOX ITSELF.

Definitely interested. More into the media controls than the games; although, the fitness stuff seems useful. Better than doing jumping jacks to a bare wall (keep the blood flowin' to get better work done).

Yes, I will be buying it when it comes out. I like to play a wide variety of games, and I am interested in Dance Central and Ubisoft's fitness title.

that thing is going to have to be pretty cheap if they expect me to buy that and a game at the same time.
