I've definitely enjoyed the PS3 and Move more than the Kinect. Although, it has the same issue with lack of games. The PS3 does have a few AAA titles where Move was a big focus though, like KZ3 and Socom4. I played through KZ3 with the Move and Sharpshooter, it was actually quite fun. Obviously this will never replace control for fast paced online play, but its a nice break from using the controller... much more of an arcade feel at home.
But obviously, this has been done on the Wii already. So if you're not into it there, the PS3/Move aren't going to do anything great.


Oh...
I did think of one thing people are using the Kinect for, and probably the most use people are getting out of it.
Skyrim Voice Commands [youtube.com]

I believe ME3 has the same type of thing...
So you can be at home yelling at your video games

What do you mean "does anybody read about anything anymore???" I just need to know the answer whether this has some new features or not? Geezzz. Smarty pants...

Quote from mirai : kinect for windows is basically an upgraded version of the original kinect. i don't think the windows sdk is compatible with the original kinect but i could be wrong. there's a separate community developed sdk which can be used to program the original kinect on windows. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kinectfor...unced.aspx edit: might also want to try this http://slickdeals.net/f/4628030-L...el-anytime

I've done some reading and I think it will work. The SDK version has a near field option, but you don't have to use that. The other thing is I will need to purchase the power kit to get the USB cable that fits a computer (xbox has a proprietary one), but that's <$10 at amazon.

Don't do this. If you buy something from 1saleaday and its DOA or not as described, you'll have to pay for the return shipping and you'll be out about $12-14 to ship this sucker back.

If it helped, everything I've bought from 1saleaday was either DOA or just severely used and often broken. I can all but guarantee these are thoroughly used and look like it, but the 'recertified' means someone plugged it in and it worked for a minute.

Buy from companies who pay return shipping on doa and broken/messed up merchandise. Companies that don't are telling you that they think there is a good chance you'll want to return the item and they don't want to pay for it.

Quote from Cigolorp : I've order from them multiple times and have never had a problem. I'd put them on about the same level as woot or 1sale, fwiw. I know one of the last times that I ordered, I actually ordered two products and only wanted one. They took the extra item off without any hassle. You certainly won't get amazon customer service, but you're not paying an amazon price, either.

Good to know. Might be enough to sway me on this deal or a future one. Thanks and repped.

did you even read the link?

your question shows you know absolutely nothing about the products you're buying... it's simply amazing to me.

lol....if you knew the answer you would answer it....instead of pointing to somebody else's explanation...can you tell me how many versions of kinect has MS released? You smart ass...

Anyone else get the wrong product? I just received a package from dailiysteals and it contained a 250G Xbox hard drive instead of the Kinect.

I just emailed their customer service, hopefully they reply quickly with a reasonable solution.

I got mine and got it complete: cables, extra dongle for Xbox prev. gen., manuals, etc. It has been working great - best buy I did lately. Very happy with the thing, impressive stuff. Have since bought around 5 games, and I'm still in the first one (Kinect Adventures) with my 7 and 4 year olds.

Hopefully yours will get sorted. Mine came with all sticky plastics around, no sign of use whatsoever, very tight cable packaging. Looked brand new, except for the generic box.
