Watching E3 videos got me thinking... How long has it been? Looking back, it's been about six months, and I think that was just to show off Dance Central to some friends. Probably would have been since the first week of launch if that hadn't happened. Man, I'm hoping one of these companies can actually make a game that's actually fun for more than a week of gimmickry.
On a side note, I really need to learn some self-control in the future and stop these impulse-driven buying shenanigans. I am a total sucker for this kind of crap.

How long has it been since you've used your Kinect?
I really don't like what kinect has to offer so far. I was expecting there to be good games announced this year but there was nothing at all and everything they showed looked like shit and no fun. I was kinda thinking star wars might be fun and it doesn't look good at all. I'm probably gonna buy it anyways though cause star wars is fucking awesome and it's the only decent ish game coming out for kinect
This was the main reason I couldn't see dropping $150 on it, it look interesting but I'm doubting the longevity of it.
I buy almost everything, just for the hell of it and I still can't even bring myself to get a Kinect. Maybe if it worked super well with Netflix or something, I might think of it. But . . . meh.
The closest I can come is that I have owned a Wii (two, actually) since just after the launch. I have almost never played them and the last time I touched them was the week Boom Blox came out, three years ago. At this moment, I don't even know where they are. I think one or both of them are in their original boxes packed in a ton of other gaming stuff out in the garage. I bought a house over a year ago and just couldn't be arsed to dig around for the shitty Wiis that I never used. Mostly because I don't give two tits about waggling controllers around.
A few days ago to use Kinect Me. I'm about to get a bunch of achievements in Kinect Adventures and then get deep into Dance Central (I've done the first eight songs on all difficulties). After that... Your Shape!
Part of the problem is that there's really not been any software released for the bloody thing since launch other than that Kawashima game and Game Party. For all the attention given it at E3, the Kinect doesn't seem any more appealing, with more minigame collections and dancing, and only rail shooters changing the formula up. It seems that, much like the motion wands, the idea well for the Kinect's tech isn't that deep.Watching E3 videos got me thinking... How long has it been?

I will say this, however - between my much-regretted Wii purchase and the Kinect, I've successfully learned not to buy expensive stuff on impulse. The Wii-U's going to have to earn my interest.
I bust it out for that YourShape game on days I can't make it to the gym. I most recently played it the day Kinect Fun Labs came out.
Used it to play Child of Eden and still kind of play Kinect Sports. I traded in Dance Central because it kept making me do MOVES I DO NOT FEEL MATCH MY MANLY PERSONA
Edit: Actually- I kind of prefer Kinect's seeking in Netflix; and audio play stop commands = win too
I use video kinect regularly to talk with a friend in a remote foreign country.
I intend to purchase dance central and child of eden eventually, but so far only have played dance evolution (which is not a very good game, but enjoyable if you like that para para / konami music stuff).
