Kinect Thread.

Microsoft has finally issued an official price.

Oh, so Microsoft's EyeToy has a price now? Pretty expensive for an initial price. I'm sure it'll drop once Sony reveals their initial price for the Move.

I still prefer "Natal" more.

The thing is with natal you only need one, but with ps move for multiple players you have to buy a few which adds up very rapidly. So I don't think the price is that bad, probably won't be getting it though

Oh and i thought move had a price already? I know i seen it on an Irish site so.. lemme take a look.

lol just realised I called it Natal... that name is a lot better imo but um yeah.. Kinect...

[Foofles]

What's the point of this. Nobody will play it for more than a month.

This is general gaming, I think we can safely discuss any console here without fear of the thought police hearing us.

That is a bit narrow minded, I think there is easily Xbox 360 owners here who love this game.. a lot, in fact I have a 360 myself!

The annoying thing is that people will buy this >.<

Well, I disagree.

Those who like Xbox can talk about how awesome this is.

Those who don't can talk about how suckish it is.

Everybody wins!

But I personally think Kinect is bad.

[olit123]

If they bring the price down about £100 it might be worth the money.

Kinect is actually a pretty good idea in my opinion. It's not original, but it's still a good idea. Personally though, I think it just won't work, and the only people that will purchase this are the families and kids which don't play games much. So Microsoft clearly aren't going to make as much as they may hope from this. I mean, seriously... No hardcore gamers will play this for more than a month, they know that no real gaming can be sucked out of the Kinect, they will put it in the shed the first time they get tired. The true fact is that all of the people that play games often prefer the good old fashioned control-pad.

Ps3 lover game only eh? I dislike the PS3 and i much prefer my 360. Guess i can't play LBP then? You're a bit of a **** really methinks.

Meh, he's new. No need to squelch him yet.

I just feel that the initial pricing is too high for most people to take the initiative to buy. I mean, it's better than any "Wiinie" invention I've seen, but it believe that the market isn't ready for another expensive product. We've got 3DTVs, new smartphones, more add-ons like Netflix and Facebook, all of these money-raking items that'd already set people back hundreds if not thousands of dollars, and with the current economy, I don't think people are up to the risk of being set back even more, particularly with a product that echoes the EyeToy of the past and the Wii "shovelware" titles of today. If they were to drop the price a few dollars, say to $100 or somewhere around there, I think it could be profitable.

Besides, there hasn't been much advertising of the Kinect yet (due to the Xbox Slim's airtime), so I'm still skeptical about this new "peripheral" being profitable.

Yeah... Like how Microsoft tried to rationalize it by saying you must buy the Wii Balance Board.

... I mean, why'd they ever add that? ;o

Plus there are no games I see that look anywhere interesting... D:

Not that I even HAVE a 360... but at least MOVE I kinda see some attempt at making it last... Kinect just seems like an amazing piece of hardware that has no real use.

... and Alex, do you even play LBP? I always assumed you hadn't played it in forever and just hung around, skirting the line of total banhammah. Hey, look, you did it again when you insulted the new guy! I've always wondered about how you manage to avoid it O-o

... not that I ahte you or... /sniped

Anyway, Kinect looks amazing as technology, but I see nothing worthwhile.

... I WOULD say there might be some... games that WOULD be useful for it... that Microsoft wouldn't allow... if you know what I mean

... though apparently there IS a game where you talk to an 8 year old boy... and there's only one potential market for THAT kind of game, so I unno :/
