Oprah gives audience Xbox's + Kinect for free. See their reaction here. (LINK)

At first glance I misread the thread title, thought it said, "Obama" gives audience xbox's. I'm tired.

wow, think what the reaction would be if they knew about regular controller rumble and unlimited warthog ammo, there woulda been a riot.

Question, din't she do the same with the wii when it came out

At least now we know where that $500 million went. $50 mil to get a spot on Oprah's Show, and the rest to pay off everyone in the audience to pretend to be that excited

wonder if any of them will sell it on ebay tonite? i bet its prolly a pre order that they can pick them up on launch day. other wise i bet they could get over 1000 bucks for each bundle.

Messiahbolical-

I would imagine a very high percentage of that audience had never even heard of a "Kinect" prior to being there.

"OMG I'm so excited I get a free Kinect!!!! By the way, what the **** is a Kinect?????"

you kidding me? a woman died trying to win a nintendo wii at launch. There is nothing more dangerous than a middle aged woman trying to buy gifts for their children. I remember when i bought a wii the lady that came in the store right behind me asked if there were any wiis left (after the one i was buying) and when the clerk said yes she looked to me and said "good, i thought i was going to have to kill you for it in the parking lot" her tone was jokingly, but she had murder in her eyes.

Mothers can be ruthless when buying video games for their kids. Half those mothers were probably excited because now they dont have to cut some fools this holiday.

HAHAAHHA. i love this reaction because she is giving free video game hardware to a bunch of women who are past their 30's. at least MS is going all out for the kinect.

LOL I seriously hope people aren't using this as a measure of how popular Kinect will be_Cadbury_

Still, an endorsement from Oprah will go a long way in regards to selling this to families, as gifts, etc.

Audiences in american TV shows would go crazy if a cat walked on the set though.tomarlyn

Microsoft + Oprah = EVIL! I hate that lame ass woman. millerlight89

You know what I would like to see? Move on Conan, I'm sure that will be the perfect burn. Showing off their stuff to a cool, non mainstream (or less so than others) comic who is beloved by everyone.

I do like how they didn't even demonstrate the product at all and just used acted advertising footage.shinrabanshou

People are laughing about Kinect on YouTube and it recently utterly failed live on a German TV show. Little surprise they stick with their faked commercials instead of taking THAT risk again. Damage from failing on German TV is harmless, but imagine the same thing happening on Oprah. Not working that well to begin with and in the middle of the game just removing one of the players for no reason (wasn't the slogan "jump in" and not "be randomly kicked out"?).

"Oh.. uhm.. yes, we're aware of this issue (now). Don't worry, we will have this fixed in a patch shortly after release (please don't make me specify "shortly")."

Because it happens all the time I watch an american show.

• Al Bundy scratches his head, crowd goes wild
• Ellen pretends to dance badly for a few seconds, crowd goes wild
• Oprah could gve away a cheese sandwhich, crowd would go wild
• Jerry Springer goes and sits in the audience, crowd goes wild

I could go on

lol I guess MS finally showed its true color that its the brainless box 360

it already conquered the frat boy and GED crowd know they got the

I can't think for myself overweight how did I get married housewives.

lol, 80 percent of those Yentas probaly wont even know how to hook the damn thing up.

Oprah didn't give them anything. It's a marketing ploy by Microsoft.

You're all just jealous that Oprah didn't give you a free Kinect.

lol, and people are gonna have to pay the sales tax for it, so its not really free.

I would just sell the Kinect. Imagine how much you could get for it right now.

How would you use it? there are no games out andthe Dashboard isnt updated to use it yet. It would be useless to someone until it launches, and still they would need to go out and get games for it anyway unless all they want is to use the UI with it.

Well, the mob mentality has been linked to economic behaviour in the past with things such as emulation. People just wish to blondly follow anything stated by Oprah :P

Lol, they'll go crazy for any free product Oprah gives them.

At least M$'s putting that $500 mill to good use... :?

They act crazy!!! I have a feeling kinect will be huge despite my negative attitudes towards motion gaming. Hmm, good news for MS tho.

You cows will bash Kinect till the end of time. But if Move was on Oprah it would be a different story, because of how great it is..... :roll:

Damn MS, now everyone hates Oprah :x
