Hate it! Technically, I should have chosen C, because I don't have a 360, but DAMN that's crappy name.

Kinect is a camera and depth sensor-based peripheral for the Xbox 360 that allows users to interact with and play games using their whole bodies, rather than using a standard controller.
Kinect, Name, love it or hate it?
Would be nice if there was an option that was "I don't care" without all the "I was never gonna buy it anyways".
I haven't decided what I think about the actual product yet but, like most electronics, I couldn't care less what they name it.
The name is alright, I guess. None of the games that the GB crew outlined interest me at all. I do think it would be cool to swipe through menus to make selections on the dashboard though.
The name is ok, but the thing itself is retarded.
Microsoft is desperately trying to steal from nintendo.
Kinect sports using your avatars. Totally original guys!
The name is alright. I hated it at first but it's starting to grow on me. At least it isn't super generic like Wave.
Dumb name. I get it, but it isn't clever. It has too many sharp consonants so it doesn't roll off the tongue, and people who don't get that it's the Greek prefix kine (meaning movement) portmanteau-ed with connect will just think it's a dumb ass way to spell connect.
However, what's in a name? It's all about the games. It's going to take some serious awesome to win me over though, I'm burned out on motion controls now.
couldN'T care less. Damn why does everyone do this? I think it's cause the world is trying to kill me...
Anyways, since you made that mistake I cant pick that option. So I vote love it.
I think it's alright. Not interested in the product though.
Phonetically they're both pretty good, but visually I think a Natal logo would have looked better than a Kinect logo.
I picked C, but basically I am with the GB guys on this one. It isn't the best name ever... but it gets the job done. Natal wasn't a bad name because it was random. I'm sure they did enough market research to have a good idea what type of name to choose.
