Has anyone got it?

I've not once been interested in it but I've read a few reviews now and each one has progressively got better to the point now where I'd seriously consider buying it - if the price was right. As it isn't, currently.
 
I almost talked the wife into buyig this the other day. It was about 100 bucks too much for her to consider it. Ill be waiting to see what its like after the price has come down a bit.
 
If you don't mind me saying this here, I bought PS Move and Sports Champions I think its Brilliant.
 
Xbox Kinect : Too gimmicky at the moment - Give it a couple of years to evolve and find it's feet.

PS3 Move : Not liked anything on that yet - Again, give it some time.
 
I wasn't that interested when it was announced, but am vaguely more so now that it's out/i've seen some of the Wii-Sports-Esque games in action,
Not so much that I'd get one at it's current price. May consider it when there's a price drop/they start coming up cheaper on eBay

My thoughts exactly. This looks to me like the prototype for something better they're working on. Same deal with the iPod touch. I bought that a few years ago... shoulda just waited for the iPhone. Same with the iPad as well.
 
Crappy gimmicks aimed at the parents and "familys". Kinect, Move and the Wii are the cancer that's killing video gaming. They all only have 1 workable function: Dance, Dance Revoloution without the plastic rug.

Now I've said that, it wouldn't surprise me if I'll get one from Santa.
 
So long as I'm not looking like a prat on Xmas day cuddling and electronic cat, meh.
 
What would be good perhaps is a next-gen rugby game, or basketball game, that uses kinect for the main features of the game.. like passing, and parts of the game like that. Or you could just go play it. lol
 
I have the Kinect and it is great fun and a challenge depending on the game, over time it will get better and better and i disagree with Bullitt that things like Kinect are a cancer thats killing video gaming things like this are needed as technology constantly gets better, you can still get all games just for controller so how kinect, wii or move can kill off video games i dont know lol
 
Off the topic but a uga PS3 joypad. The 1 where you put in batteries - well does anyone know where to connect the USB port in that as it impossible to find
