Alright, so it is just about a month after Xmas. Just wondering how kinect is fairing after a month of ownership. Are people still playing its games, or is it starting to get a little stale? I know when we had the Wii, we used it a lot the first month, and then it just kind of sat there.

Everyone in my house still plays Kinect. Whether it is Kinect Sports, Dance Central or Your Shape Fitness, it is still very heavily used.

It still gets played everyday here, and we've had it since November. It mostly gets played by the kids and their friends. Lots of Dance Central and Kinect Sports.

lol the opposite here, im usually bundled up in blankets and thus forces me to shoot people in Bad company 2, to be fair the reason I have not played kinect is im in a small room right now.....will move to living room shortly

I dance on dance central pretty often and when people come over the kinect doesn't get a break. My wife does your shape evolved daily.

I don't consider it a main source of gaming, more like something different and fun. I rather have my controller. I even use my controller to navigate the menus on dance central rather than trying to get it to work with my hands cause honestly its not 100% accurate.

Im waiting for something interesting to come out. It will be nice to see what is in store for the kinect.

I've had it since November 4 and it gets played a few times a week, more than most of my other full-retail "hardcore" games.

For some reason that's how Kinect Sports is showing up. Not sure why, but it has been like that since I got it.

Our Kinect is played at least 3 times a week. Games being played: Your Shape, Dance Central, and Kinect Sports. I downloaded DanceMasters Demo and it is fun and diferent from Dance Central. I wish there was more DLC for Dance Central, though. Rock Band got me spoiled with the new weekly DLC.

The Kinect really shines when you have people to entertain. We've had a bunch of people over quite a few times andthe Kinect, especially DanceCentral and Kinect Sports. The bowling in Kinect Sports is always the one we play because its a lot of funand the competitiongenerates good banter. If there weregood RPGs or adventure games that cameon the Kinect, which I hope it will then I would play it single player as well. Butthe games on Kinect will get a lot better. I hope.

Depends on your lighting, at my place the input lag is barely noticeable.

No matter how fast I move it usually keeps up very well.

Also, I would be described as a "hardcore" gamer as I play the "hardcore" titles. I use that term loosely because it's stupid, but I enjoy it.

the only time i tried it was at a local best buy so that would explain the lag

I haven't played a lot lately, but I REALLY want to. I work like 90 hours a week so everytime I can play I am just too tired, but I still do find it entertaining. I had a lot of fun with it over the holidays and I still like Kinect Sports. I have one at my store too, so some people like to try it out in there. I think it's a decent investment, however I would like to see more controller based games utilize some part of it so it feels more like an actually add-on than a stand alone type of deal.

Dont play much anymore, at least once a week though. Waiting for a more hardcore or at least less casual game to come out. I have my eye on the star wars game and steel battalion at the moment.
