Over time the price will drop... So, naturally.

Yep, haven't played it in a week though. I think I've only played it for about 6-8 hours or so total between KA and DC. My game time is currently focused on the PS3/Wii since I finished Fable 3 earlier this week. The Kinect newness has worn off pretty fast for me, but I hope to try it some more after finishing AC:B, FO:NV, and Epic Yarn. But then there's Donkey Kong, so it may be a while before I try Kinect again.

I also may sell it next month and wait for better games/price cut, haven't decided yet.

Smart people don't pay $150 + game cost to play eye toy games like 10 years later. Unless its for their kids or something.

So? Past trends will only do so much for a prediction... It's likely the hardware will drop in price once the manufacturing process becomes better, and it also becomes cheaper to purchase the parts.

Interesting, I didn't know that. Still, in this economic climate, I wouldn't be surprised to see the price drop eventually.

Nah, I'm not going to get.

Mostly because my 360 is in a Room that's very small and I'm only interested in one game and that's Dance Central.

I almost got one because of Gamestop's offer (trade in 6 games), but missed it. So now...

Currently it's quite difficult to justify a purchase.

your post is what i figured what would of happened...after the newness and hype died a lot of people would stop playing it and move to a better game..such as black ops which everyone seems to of bought.

yes multiple kinects I love it so much. It feels like virtual reality and im really in the game. Such amazing advanced technology. Definitely changed the way i play games forever. I get bored playing games with a controller now because it feels so dated. Kinect is the future.

It'll be funny seeing some of the people who post here "no", judging Kinect and Kinect games later on.

I bought it. $150 isn't a lot of money. I use to drink $150 worth of alcohol in two weeks, so I thought I would spend some money on something that would be fun, and allow a watch a chick with big breast jump up and down while playing Kinect adventures. Kinect has potential if game developers are willing to work with the technology. Americans need this technology the most, because most of them are overweight and a lot of them are obese. They need the exercise. The Playstation Move has the best games, but the Playstation Move has been out longer. I'll probably buy a PS3 along with the Move in two weeks. I'll probably buy another Move controller too. Wii is old technology, so I wouldn't even consider it. The Fanboys on here are getting annoying. Microsoft and Sony isn't paying any fanboys to degrade and promote their systems. Nintendo isn't even in the equation, because it lacks HD and the graphics are the best. If the Kinect fails, I will no longer support any Microsoft comes out with unless it's a new gaming system. If Microsoft doesn't and developers do not take advantage of Kinect, then they failed in their careers.

Kinect is not Playstation Eye or Eyetoy. If you don't own an Xbox360, then why on earth would you want to buy the Kinect?

Especially since it costs 50 bucks to make each Kinect... And no I didn't buy it (obviously).

dont get me wrong i agree with you as far as kinect not being sold out, but this is system wars. you cant judge kinect sales based on what the majority believe here. casuals eat up stuff like kinect. question is, did wii already fill their appetite for motion controls?

let me do a check list

got a wii check

wii has great /awsome aa-aaaes check

its already cheaper-check , -i own 2 already-well 1 soon 2

i own a move-only because i already had the eye , check

so why should i buy a kenict for way more then its worth! any one on this site knows a web cam should only cost 40 bucks at the most

not 1 hundted and 50 i dont care whe ther or not its for 360 it is still a web cam

but hey what about those expensive hdds that are in reality just minilaptop hdds ms just charges you for the casing,

ugh ,

no and no

did not will not (unless i find it in my local pawnshop for 30 bucks ,)

then no

wii provides me with the following

1-goldeneye

2 who wants to be a millionaire somthing i wanted to replace on ps1 but never found it

3 nfs hot pursuit

4 driver 5

5 driver paralel lines

6 bully se

7 manhunt 2

8 nfs nitro

9 kirby epic yarn

10 dkc4

11 mariokart

12 ssbb

13 metroid prime 3

14 meteroid other m

15 sin and punishment 2

16 sims 2 pets

17 sims 2 castaway

18 red steel 2

19 cod

20 medal of honor heroes 2

21 resident evils 0 1 4 uc and dc

22 ff cc echoes of time and chochubos dungeon

23 epic mickey

24 sonic colours

25 red steel

26 farcry vengance

27 house of the dead 2/3

28 house of the dead 4

29 zombies ate my neighbors-vc

30 super mario galaxy's 1 and 2

32 -nsmb wii

33 super paper mario

34 crusin

theres alot more trust me ,

and i dont think kenicts overall library by the time its done will have the same amount of quality titles ,

much less that same variety i just mentioned- notice how only 4 of the titles are fps ,

and then theres a few racing games and sim games 3rd person action adventure games

etc

i bet kenict will be fill of fps (who s gonna even play them on kinect)

for kenict and wiii knock offs as well ,
