the next ideal kinect set up will require users to be completely nude. u know so it can umm simulate your complete skeleton make up without any errors.

Nah... it has a depth sensor... it could tell that the human forms on the posters were flat.

i just watched the "how to set up kinect" video on xbox live, and they spend more time talking about what it can't do than what it can. it's one of the WORST advertisements i have EVER seen. If they are openly saying "if the lighting isnt even, we cant track you" that means there are HUGE problems, otherwise they would have never mentioned it. I seem to recall hearing, in the begining of all this, that kinect didn't need much light because of the camera types involved.. now theyre saying you need perfect even lighting? that's almost impossible for most people in their homes. kinect = MASSIVE FAIL PS: Im hoping it does, then i can get one for $20 at Ebgames and just use it for voice control(which is the only interesting feature this product has)

also, the idea of having the camera motorized is AWFUL. We all know what microsofts hardware history has been with the xbox360.. I am seeing into the future, and there are MANY people getting the TMIBANKWWoD(the motor is broken and now kinect won't work... of Death)

Kinect just seems to fail more and more each day.

Yes because having a clean room is something video gamers shouldn't have to practice.

Is having a living room with 10 ft by 8 ft of empty space in front of the television something gamers should have to practice?

So... it doesn't detect more than two people at once, you have to be a certain distance form the screen, it can't be on top of something noisy, you can't have thick facial hair, it doesn't detect finger movement, your area has to be clean around the Kinect, and there is very noticeable lag.

Really, how can anyone think Kinect will not massively flop?

I guess the percentage of people for whom this will work is pretty low then. And for those few it works it's going to suck.

It won't because Microsoft already managed to hype this thing to heaven using smoke and mirrors. People are just going to buy it by the thousands and realize it sucks but by that moment Microsoft would be annoucing Kinect Slim which fixes all the problems, according to them, and the cycle perpetuates until MS is twice as rich as before by selling crap. MS is actually very simple to read.

It's already well known that Kinect will not work properly if

Your house is cluttered or dirty

You wear dark clothing

The planets are not aligned

It does not like you

You have facial hair

You have a hat

You are a Libra

Your favorite color is Maroon

You were born on October 17th 1943

150 bucks and it seems you need to have some perfectly conditioned room for this expensive add-on to even work properly, one thing wrong and it messes up the experience.

Totally worth it.

FIipMode

It suits awesome people like me.

I have everything.

A nice great house,

clean rooms, with great decore, luxury items and beautiful lighting.

I don't see a problem:D

Light, tight clothing and minimal facial hair also? If so good for you.

yeah I am pretty sexy so once again it suites me.

[QUOTE="navyguy21"]Shouldnt your house be clean anyway? :| And using it with stuff all over the floor is a hazard anyway :Prazgriz_101

my room looks like aladdins cave cause its cluttered but its always clean :o theres a diffrence between clutter and being clean.

And never had a problem with cables on the floor *shrugs* all my bass gear gets stored away.



You don't own a 360 anyway so don't worry.
