Kinect has been priced...

$150 bucks, or $300 with a base 360 wo/ an HDD...thats insane, but expected coming from Microsoft. There are a few things that look ok about it, but for the most part I'd never consider using it, even if given it for free. I just don't have the know-how or will to wanna move as required for such games.

I'm not lazy, I just don't move like that...hehe

This can go right at the bottom of my list of things to get then :p if you're gonna do something that's already been done, don't overcharge for it, gawd!

Yikes. Glad I am a Sony fanboi, but I hope Sony Move doesn't pull the same thing, pricing wise.

It already has, and costs $180 for a complete set of Move to play all games.

1 Move controller costs $50
1 Nunchuck coast $30
1 Playstation Eye costs $30

However you can get those 3 items in a bundle for $99, but there are some games that require only 2 Move controllers and don't use the nunchuck thus you need to shell out another $50, so now you're sitting at $150, and should you play multi-player with a friend you'd need a second nunchuck, thus $180!

I have had a PS-EYE sense it came out... what Microsoft is marketing is something PS3 has had for a couple years now. There's a reason why they are bringing out the "move". I'm sure M$ is going to find out why pretty quick.

I'm kinda of a Sony fanboi but I have all the systems and get to experience what they all offer.

I loved my original xbox but always hated how MS nickle and dimed you to death so I skipped on the 360. Kinect is a nice novelty but Nintendo has the party games down to an art and will hold that group for less money. Other than that I cannot imagine guys sitting at home in their lazy boys with cheetos in hand wanting to get up and dance around like a fool to play an action game but then I might just be lazy

The Move controller alone with brightly colored balls on the end is an outright pathetic attempt at anything serious. And really this coming from Sony of all people...its really really sad. Its like this immensely hardcore and dedicated to please their crowd {even though they fail all too often} company does a 180 and its like here, have something fisher price looking, oh and its super-expensive too...rofl

I'm pretty sure I spent a crap ton of cash on my wii controllers too and the movement tracking on the wii controllers isn't as good as the move. If M$ can come up with a peripheral that works with kinect that is at least "as good as" the move if not better I will consider picking it up.

Oh man, I needed a good laugh!

Tis what I'm here for

that was hilarious but i own all three systems and only touch my wii for monster hunter and no more heroes 2.

360 is all about dead of alive 4 for me and exclusive rpgs.

i dont like to get up and jump around like a ass because well i do that at work. :P

i will say i am glad that the companies are at least trying new things well trying again to bring things back to the general public.

With that aside i will say that hardcore games for MS and sony are wat keep them afloat not lil kids or the 50 yr old gma who says who wats this yay RAYMAN! look ma im running

no its about the fps fan the rpg fans on the real consoles and dont get me wrong the wii is a console(for kids mind you)

thats just how i feel
