Anyone have one yet? Only been able to find them bundled with new Xbox’s and seem to be sold out. Some awesome open source applications coming out tho with it. [http://www.creativeapplications.net/news/kinect-opensource-news/](http://www.creativeapplications.net/news/kinect-opensource-news/) ---

This is the type of thing I wouldn’t spend the money on myself but would ask for as a christmas gift when I need ideas. ---

Meh…I guess if I was getting an Xbox I’d get the bundle, but nothing I HAVE TO HAVE! I’m more of a physical controller type person. LMAO @ 22s [https://youtu.be/FqVD2FyTyzI](https://youtu.be/FqVD2FyTyzI) ---

I was looking for this the other day and found them at Sam’s Club. They have just the Kinect for $149.99 so you don’t have to buy the whole system. ---

I went through the Kinect games list and right now don’t see a single game that would make the purchase worth it. The core technology is quite a bit better than the Wii though so I have hopes that game developers will come up with some cool things in the next year or so. ---

Worth it. I’ve had so much fun, plus they are supposed to start making games that allow for limited kinect functions (look side to side in forza, voice commands, etc. The kinect sports and adventures it comes with are definitely fun. It’s a good work out too. Also has an amazing built in mic so no need for a headset to talk shit to 5 yr olds. ---

Then I started thinking about it. If I’m turning my head to the left, but my TV is staying directly in front of me, it doesn’t really do any good for kinect to display what’s outside the left window of the car since I’ll now be staring at my wall. ---

No no, it doesn’t need you to fully turn your head. It picks up seriously on the SMALLEST motions, it’s ridiculous. ---

> [@Motocrossx23](#): > > No no, it doesn’t need you to fully turn your head. It picks up seriously on the SMALLEST motions, it’s ridiculous. I was wondering about that, but if it’s a slight turn of the head how much will the view be constantly moving around because you’re not staying perfectly still. There has to be a certain amount of deadzone programmed in. Wait and see I guess. ---

Someone please contact me when this becomes appealing to someone older than 12 years old. Until then, I will continue to play COD and Halo [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/xbox-kinect/206041.md?page=2)
