NBA Baller Beats Looks Remarkably Dangerous

If I lived in the apartment below this guy, I think I'd have a case for justifiable homicide.

So it's a game where you dribble a basket ball? That's now a game? I'm so confused...

Also I thought Microsoft didn't want props for Kinect.

Yeah, how is this getting away with using an object other than your body?

So this is going to be a rhythm based Kinect game that uses an actual basketball?

Have you ever bounced a ball inside your living room? It's loud as hell and nowhere near the sound of the video. I don't think neighbours or any other residents of your house are fine with this. Let alone basket balls crushing every breakable object in the room. :P

As a general rule, I play video games so I can do things that I can't do in real life. The only thing this game(?) achieves is removing the embarrassment when I try some basketball skill on a real court and end up on my ass and replaces it with a huge bill and a trip to the hospital when I trip and put my face through my TV.

Yeah, what's up with not even showing what the game actually looks like. Also, how many people actually have a floor like that where their 360 is. I'm sorry, but I don't think this game will play too good on carpeting. Are they expecting everyone to take their tv's and 360's out into the garage or driveway?

How did this game even get green lit to be made? I would of loved to heard the pitch for this game. What's next, soccer with a real ball that you shoot at your screen? I'm sure that would be HUGE over in Europe.

What if someone has a kinect in their living room? Isn't hard for a ball to bounce on carpet? And you could break something

Did they just say "real ball"? I didn't think Microsoft allowed Peripherals? :P

Seriously though... the Kinect's current library already doesn't really seem to understand what kind of homes people live in. This... steps it up a notch? Yeah... great :P

Oh no.. I'm sorry but when I go to play ball if I bounce the ball in the house it makes the worst noise ever and just isn't a good idea to be doing that in the house, this game isn't going to work at all... feel sorry for the developers.

How great is it that the only thing that came to my mind watching this was: "Why did they pick this shitty ass Busta Rhymes song?" He phoned the hell out of this one for them. Could have just put on....a censored version of "What the Fuck Y'all Want" or maybe "Break Ya Neck".

Oh, and this thing looks like a pile of shit. Kinect y'all! Get excited!

Perfect for when you feel like dribbling a basketball, but outside is just too damn far away.

I totally knew a guy like that back in high school. He'd constantly dribble his basketball, even in class where I was forced to sit next to him. The sounds of dribbling drove me mad.
