    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. 

    No Caption Provided
    Based on the games shown during the press conference, and the amount of  time devoted to the Kinect experience, are you guys sold on the hardware? Are you interested in purchasing the game this holiday? And, based on the conference, how much should Kinect cost?

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

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Technology-wise it seems rather interesting, but I do not really feel like flailing around like a fool in front of my television.

    The games shown looked pretty poor, even for what they were, but the potential for use in other games (like Forza), and even more so, the navigation of the system looks awesome. I am going to get it asap, for sure.

    I think its because they want to see what Ps3 move is priced at first. You could also be correct.

    Looks like the only game I would actually want is the Star Wars game, which doesn't come out until next year.

    I am interested in those games too. Kinect Adventures might be fun as well. But it's sad that all of the best looking Kinect games don't look that different from a Wii title. I would have loved to see some attempt at and action or adventure title, with graphics that actually look like a 360 game.

    The tech looks great but the support for core gamers is definitely not their main goal. 
     
    I don't doubt that we'll see some great traditional games incorporate this tech in the future but it would have been nice to get a glimpse of a major dev doing that at E3 in amongst all the wii-like stuff (imagine the headtracking combined with 3D - seriously, could be great... wait, wasn't MS meant to announce their 3D comparability? Seems like an odd opportunity to miss).

    I am not inspired by Kinect. I think the thing I like the most is the NXE interface stuff.

    Only stuff that interested me was the new dashboard. None of the games really appealed to me and with no price point, I can't make a definite decision but as of now, I'll pass on it.

    I will not even consider buying Kinect as long as the mainstay is throw away shovelware crap. The only "real" games at the entire press conference were MGS, CoD, Reach, and Gears. The launch lineup of Kinect is precisely what makes the Wii so terrible.

    I am still skeptical for the same reason I am sure most people are... the Wii.  
     
    HOWEVER, I was really impressed with Ubisoft's exercise  game. Not so much the game itself, but I feel like that game really shows the potential for Kinect.  
      
    Also, I was really disappointed in the NXE rebuild for Kinect. I feel like the current NXE is perfect for controller-free navigation as is.

    As expected, the E3 press conference un-sold me on it.  There's a screenshot of the 15 launch titles on Kotaku which makes it clear that Kinect is not for me.
