Who the hell has a living room with that much space? If you have that much space you fill it with crap. That's how space works.

IKEA living room design at it's finest.

I do. Couldn't find matching crap.

Go to IKEA.

I repeat. I. KEY. YA.

But I want GOOD crap.

The sitting people don't count because there are already two people standing up. Kinect can't see the couch sitters anyway.

For those interested, Walmart has started taking pre-orders for a Kinect bundle. The bundle is $199 and includes the Kinect sensor, a $30 gift card, and one of six games:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Dance Central
Joy Ride
Kinectimals
Kinect Sports
Kinect Adventures

Does Kinect even come with anything by itself? If not, $150 just for the sensor is ridiculous. Even including a game for free would be too high. As for this bundle, you basically just get the gift card free since Kinect games will be $50-$60.

It's official: Kinect will be $150 and will be bundled with Kinect Adventures. Hefty price, but Kinect Adventures did look kind of cool. If Microsoft ever announces any core games that use Kinect, it might be worth checking out.

nickmitch · « **Reply #659 on:** July 20, 2010, 04:19:38 PM »

At $150, it just doesn't grab me as something that I would really want. I still need to see more significant software to be used with the thing and if Kinect Adventures is actually any good.

The $299 bundle seems like a pretty decent deal actually, and I think the matte finish 4GB 360 will look a lot better than the shiny 250GB model anyway.

ymeegod · « **Reply #661 on:** July 20, 2010, 11:54:44 PM »

What's even worse, Joy Ride isn't free anymore so while you do get Kinect Adventures you'll lose out JR which is the one I rather play anyhow.

Saddly people are still pre-orderring it anyways, me I might get it once more mainstream games start using it.

Why is the MS Kinect better than a Sony Move or Nintendo Wii?

Let's check the Comparison Chart

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #663 on:** July 21, 2010, 05:53:03 PM »

Sadly, I could see Microsoft touting BS like that as I have seen them do stuff like that before.

Even bundling Kinect Adventures with it doesn't make it worth $150 for me. I am glad Microsoft confirmed that they won't be adding the $10 HD tax to first party Kinect games though, they will all be $50 (third parties can charge what they want to though).

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #664 on:** July 21, 2010, 06:02:44 PM »

In the current console owner list they forgot to mention how the current Wii owner has likely owned Wiifit/+ and the 2nd and probably 3rd & 4th controllers for about 2+ years now.

That extra $150 could be spent on 3 more games that aren't WiiSports/Resort(that came free with the system) clones.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #665 on:** July 21, 2010, 07:59:48 PM »

LOL @ this single player chart

DmentD · « **Reply #666 on:** July 22, 2010, 02:54:42 PM »

I guess I won't be getting a Kinect.......$150 is rape if you ask me.

Hey BnM you left out the 3D HDTV and 3D glasses X4 for true augmented reality on the PS3.

Deguello · « **Reply #668 on:** July 22, 2010, 03:18:52 PM »

I don't think BnM made that graph. If he did he would have included a second move which is required for some single player games.

No i didn't make it, but I think this chart (minus the balance board -WTF?) addresses that

I expect the Kinect to sell about as well as the EyeToy, which I believe was a little less than 10% of PS2 owners. 10% of the XBox 360 userbase is less than 3 million, is it not? That's what I'm predicting.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #671 on:** July 22, 2010, 10:33:13 PM »

At least EyeToy was cheap. The EyeToy really only did well in Europe, I wonder if Kinect will be the same?

nickmitch · « **Reply #672 on:** July 23, 2010, 03:40:00 PM »

Were they really only adding WiiFit to make the Wii look more expensive? That seems pretty desperate. MS should know Kinect isn't gonna be the price leader. They really just need to go back and emphasize what sets them apart, ie the "full body control."

Mop it up · « **Reply #673 on:** July 23, 2010, 08:27:21 PM »

It's a fair comparison. The Wii Balance Board enables games to be controlled by tilting your body, which is one thing the Kinect can do. So, in order for Wii to offer most of the functionality of the Kinect, it needs a Balance Board.

nickmitch · « **Reply #674 on:** July 24, 2010, 04:20:26 AM »

True, but that's an optional form of play that's not as widespread as waggle.
