Buck531 Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 I'm debating on getting this sometime in January. Does anyone have it and do you think it's worth it? Pro's/Con's? I read the review in Game Informer and Kinect Sports got an 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 microcenter has 70+ in stock. They are pretty awesome, plus, hackable to use on a PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 My daughter wants Kinectimals but I haven't jumped yet. I have an older 360 and I hear you need to buy extras for it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 I'm getting one I think. I would like to see more out for it. The EAS sorts is all that's catching my eye right now. Would love to see a UFC or MMA game come out for it. I will clear my living room and mat the whole thing. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 http://kinecthacks.net/ None of the games so far have even begun to interest me, but this stuff looks pretty interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 We bought one for Christmas and have basically been playing it non-stop. It's amazing. And, we've been completely satisfied playing just the game that comes with the Kinect (which is an adventures-type game where you can do lots of different things, like white water rafting, dodge ball-type thing, flying in space, etc). We also have a Wii. The Kinect is, IMHO, much better. The technology is just better, which makes for a cooler gaming experience. I'm not what you'd consider a "hardcore" gamer. In the past year, I've played the Kinect, Deadrising 2, and on the Wii. That's it. So, take my feedback for what it's worth (which isn't much, probably! ). I have an old XBox 360 - like I bought it when it first came out. I have done nothing to it (i.e., I haven't done any of the modifications or whatever that you can do). To play the Kinect, I needed two additional things that I didn't have: (1) a flash drive for more memory and (2) to connect to XBox Live so that I could download an update, which took like 15 seconds to download. That was it. Hope this was helpful. Let me know if it wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an older 360 and I hear you need to buy extras for it to work. You don't need anything exrta. The older 360s require the use of a power supply added to the USB cable - which is included with the kinects. It is NOT included with kinects sold in a system bundle.

Ahh, that's what's been holding me back. So if I get a "retail" Kinect, it comes with all I need to hook it to an older 360 then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
