I'm probably going to get all the games when they come out on the first day

I wonder how much of this is actually mapped to his limbs... would be good to get an overlay or something...

Nerdy white guy is D-A-N-C-I-N-G
 
What devilry is this!

HELL YES.  Rock Band 3 has just been one-upped for me -- though Harmonix is getting my dollars either way. 
 
This looks way more awkward in anigif form:  http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fKTRo-PxzEk/TBdUbZw4nkI/AAAAAAAAAqs/vSqwJ9jXWV0/kinectgifban.gif

Yeah.. No thanks.

Okay, best part of this game may be the next guy I see at a club who actually attempted to use this game to learn how to dance, it'll be thoroughly entertaining.  It'd be just a step above DDR at least.

Do the Kinetics teams actually know what a videogame is? Marketing a dance "game" to a vieogame player is like marketing a videogame to my mom.

@Branthog: I think they want to capture that 'wii casual gamer' market. 
 
Unfortunately, that market buys very little software outside Wii Sports that comes with the Wii

a white dude dancing is just hilarious!

I am so utilizing the elbow throw at my next dance party.

out of all the kinect stuff this really seemed to be the only one that made any sense at all...*sigh*

This could be alright, though hard to tell how accurate it is from this vid..

This ain't the part of the demo I want. When th producer introduced it at the beginning, that was fantastic.

What's new is old.  What's old is old.
 
However, it would be exceptionally cool if I was getting my groove on, and my friends jumped up off the couch as my backup dancers.  But real life ain't Glee.

Im kinda skeptical right now about all the kinect games, how do we know that's not just a video and they're moving after it? Also I don't think the kinect is ready yet I watched the entire press conference and every game had a slight delay like when those girls are playing that rafting game they jump and a few miliseconds later the character jumps, how will that work won't it be really hard to play a game where you have to make fast decisions like star wars or w\e... I really hope they fix that and make it faster, maybe with the next generation.

This one game and Kinect's minority report and vocal recognition features have sold me on Kinect.
SHADOWINFINITEon June 15, 2010 at 4:56 a.m.
Those are some cool moves, hopefully they have some awesomer ones in the full game
