To Kinect or to not Kinect?



By far the coolest/ most impressive thing out on the market as of last Thursday the XBOX Kinect. To all you naysayers out there yes Nintendo Wii  led the path for motion sensed gaming, but the Kinect provides the most unique experience. Not only does XBOX/ Microsoft rock at their technology advances but they have blown Sony and Nintendo out of the water with this one.


Microsoft uses an advanced sensory system that pinpoints 48 key points on your body and can track two players. It uses four microphones and three video lenses to locate your body along with advanced infrared technology. This piece of equipment is awesome, with no remotes you can play games or control you video and audio settings. You can command the Kinect to play movies as easy as saying play or reaching up and pressing a virtual play button.

This game system is not for those lazy arm chair gamers it gets you up and moving. Kinect is packaged much like the Wii, with a Kinect adventures game that had some pretty fun interactive games. My favorite the kickball like one. Kinect even remembers your voice and body. Its a game system for anyone of any age.

On the style side of things the camera is sleek and black and not bulky like some systems. Its an ad on to Xbox 360 , however Microsoft has incorporated an updating system that will automatically update your Kinect when new features come out.  Also with the Kinect you do not have to worry about remotes and cords laying around.

Not only does the Kinect look sweet and get you moving but it has a feature like Skype that can allow you to talk through XBOX live and windows live messenger. The Kinect is the first step into the virtual world. While playing with it you can only imaging future gaming systems. I cannot wait to get one! There are so many neat workout and dance move games. And if you like those shoot and kill games theres some of them too. Its even fun to watch people play.

The biggest plus to this system is the no remote/ voice activation feature. For me I know I hate when you cant find the remote or don't want to un-snuggle. Whelp this solves that problem just tell it what to do or wave your hand in the air. Truly a GREAT family gift or a gift for the person that has everything!

I hope Santa brings me one!

Actually I want the bundle!!
