well if it was harmfull they woudnt sell it!!!!!!! im guessing if you stood naked in front of it for like 2 years straight, it could be harmfull... but dont not buy it cos youre afraid of cancer, its no worse than the radiation coming from the controller that you have ben holding since you bought the console :P x

Infra red is heat radiation, light your cooker and hold your hand 30cm to the side of the flame/element and you'll feel the heat radiating from it. Every object emit's some infra red, unless you put your hand in front of an electric heater or something and got a physical heat burn they do no harm.

if it was harmful they wouldn't sell it lol

i can make a list so long of things that gamesspot would overload because of it

i will only list a few

cigarettes it's a very very known fact

Aspartame~ sweet $ low diet pop that stuff, Aspartame is very dangerous. the amount of serving can kill a lab rats.

meats sold in stores well depending on the company, dose it ever come to you why that chicken got so big vs a normal chicken?

cosmetics~3/4 cosmetics contains phthalates~well it's a deadly toxic to be simple. and on a 1-10 scale it's 10! meaning cause cancer, birth defects ect, ect.... so ya hope all of our mom's enjoying that phthalate they cover their face with every morning before work.

thats just a few

Yes, because it keeps you INDOORS when you should be going outside. :P I kid... no... I don't think they would release a product that harmed people health-wise.

Sure....If you stand infront of it for a couple of years. Same thing will happen if you....ummm....Stand outside in the SUN too long. That can be cancersous to the body as well.

well Theres plenty of IR tech out there and it usually isn't harmful but Kinect doesn't even use IR technology from what i understand. It uses a special camera that can map 3d spaces using light and shadows from what i can tell. its completely harmless.
