The games sound rather eh, but the UI stuff sounds kinda cool.  Pricing might be an issue.

holy shit

Yay for natal? I liked natal better

$190

Kinectimals...god, really?

Man misspelling words to make them sound "hip"  really pisses me off.

Just a bit of house-cleaning, guys.

meh, still better than wii

Oh, so that was a real press image? I thought it was a dorky photoshop lol.

Bananas.  Kinect is a weak name that isn't catchy enough.  If it's $190 they're in trouble.

Are they driving or dancing?

Man I hate video games.

Nice to know we'll have another Eyetoy that may be fun to use for an hour or so at a drunken party, then put away to be forgotten about forever.

Kinect? Because poor literacy is kewl!

Wow guys... I've been in a coma since 2006 and this idea of using motion control to play simplified versions of sports games and other shitty minigames sounds awesome!!! Where do I sign up?

Natal was a way better name.

Yeah, I now have no excitement for Natal any more.

Terrible.

Fantastic.

I think it's pretty kool. "

Daayum, what was wrong with Natal?

Well. Fuckin' shit.

" Kinectimals...god, really? "

I see two cameras....a sensor and a led light...

I think it's some weird portmanteau of "kinetic" and "connect."

All I want is a K'NEX game for my Kinect.

That's worse than Natal. Still though, Kinect Adventure is its own game? Like, you have to pay 60 dollars for it? And it comes in a box? Sounds more like a Wii Sports minigame that's worth 2 dollars. Still, that's the magic of motion controls, aye? You can package a shitty minigame for 50 dollars.

Meanwhile, the inventors of K'Nex are fuming.

Kinectimals?  Makes me want to go back to AFRIKA BABY!!!

" Natal was a way better name. "

I'm kinda okay with this.  It's not like the name will have a lasting effect on the actual experience.  If that experience is good and fun, then the name is inconsequential.  I also have serious doubts Microsoft would send it out to die at $190.  I just can't see them having that be the price.

POOR LITERACY IS KEWL

Kinect? Of course that sounds less stupid than Natal.
 
When you think about how much the team was paid that is responsible for this shit, I could make a non-sense, vaguely European sounding word for half of what they charged.

That bodysuit demo on Jimmy Fallon awhile ago kinda killed any excitement I had for... hey what's this new Kinetic thing?

Kinect-only games aren't really the ones I'm interested in... though I am curious about the star wars game

Tomorrow they will announce that you can use your Kin phone as a controller!

You can't misspell a name.  I can't accuse you of misspelling Molenator.  It's obviously a blend of the words "kinetic" and "connect" and after the way I got used to Wii after laughing at it, I say go ahead and name anything whatever you want.  Kinect is so much better than what it could have been and by making up a word they can stand out and trademark it and whatever.  I'm fine with this.  I might even like it. "

Not digging the new name, still whatever.

I have a feeling this will bomb. Hard.
It's trying way too hard to emulate the wii.
