As opposed to what others might think, the Kinect is really fun. I'm sure they will come out with better games like shooters, fighting, etc. I mean it just came out, so they have a lot of time to perfect it. I'm almost certain that they will have updates to fix all the bugs. I think it would be awesome if they had some kind of Dragon Ball Z game; considering I've always been a fan of the series.

Its problem is that it sometimes has a hard time tying to sense who you are. The thing that I like most is that if you have an x-box 360, you go to kinetic hub and it is all voice commands. I would'nt take it back for nothing.

Under the Christmas tree was a wrapped box. Inside I expected to find a 250gb Xbox 360. Instead I found a 250 gig console with Kinect. I was overjoyed! The console is a bit lighter than the previous ( I had a pro, which eventually fried 6 months ago ) and and is smaller. It's glossy black finish makes it look really hot. However, it is a fingerprint magnet. After setting up the console and moving my profile to it, I installed Halo reach to my hard-drive. This took about 10 minutes. Then I played the first mission of the campaign without a hitch. Since I installed the game, the console was really wisper quiet. When you play a game that isn't installed, you can hear it runing, though it isn't to bad. I would really recomend installing your games though, that way the console will stay cooler. And yes, either way, this console stays cooler than the last. Next I hooked up Kinect. almost soon as I plugged the Kinect cable, a mesage popped up say I had to put the Kinect Adventures game in so it could get an update. Then it took me through a setup process. After playing it for about 10 minutes, I found that Kinect has alot of potental. Its extremelly acurate ( except when your arm goes behind your head or torso your caracter had a seiger) and sensitive. I garenty you'll laugh at your self or who ever is playing. If you are a FPS type player like me, you'll probably prefer halo over kinect. Right now there isn't any FPS titles out right now, but I'm positive we will see some in the future. Kinect is more for the family than it is for just one person. Even though it is mine, when I play kinect it will almost always be with the family ( besides, I don't the required 6 feet of space in my room, which leaves the living room where my siblings will bug me about play it, the I don't really have a choice but to play with the family). Besides lacking FPS titles, you have to be careful where you set up kinect. It can rotate on its own to adjust to its location and can be jerky, so it could fling itself off your TV and then you will most likely have to kiss a hundred bucks good bye. This means it would be a good idea to get a stand or wall mount made for kinect. I will admit I have only played the kinect twice for about an hour each, so I haven't tried its many other functions because I've been up till 3 in the morning playing reach. If you are planing on getting a kinect later and get a console now, I would recommend getting the bundle, in the end you save $50. And a hard drive is a must, so this is the best deal. I hope I helped you decide what is best for you.
