To use Kinect you buy the Kinect. It plugs into your Xbox using either USB or a special connector on the 360 slim.

The only really memorable use of the PS3 Eye is that one card game they released for it, Eye of Judgment [Har, har, I got got the joke.]; while I haven't played it myself, it seems like a cool idea, but it baffles me why Konami hasn't released a Yu-Gi-Oh game using the same technology.

With older 360s(IE not the new one) It requires a power source, also.

Pretty much. The move looks kinda cool, though I don't know if i will get it right when it comes out. I'll probably wait until there are a few games I want. I hoping that more Light Gun games get ported to the PS3/Move such as a collection of all 4 House of the Dead games and all 4 Time Crisis games, and the 3 Virtua Cop games. If they had fun games like that I would buy a move!

Also the 3DS sounds really really awesome. I can't wait to see that in action. Plus they already have some games I am interested in such as the ports of Star Fox 64 and LOZ: Ocarina of Time. Hopefully it won't be like the Wii when it first came out and was impossible to find for about a year.

Killzone 3 on Move should be pretty sweet, though I still haven't played Killzone 1 or 2.

lol. Are gamers and people considered mutually exclusive categories now? :P

In my eyes, Sony did better than Microsoft, but didn't come every close to touching Nintendo. Nintendo really brought their A-Game, and that's why you hear nothing about Sony or Microsoft's presentation.

The biggest news for me from Sony was that Portal 2 would be getting Steam-support. It gives me hope that we might be seeing Steam move onto the PS3, and that's awesome. Aside from that, all I'll be looking forward to from Sony will be The Sly Collection and InFamous 2.

Microsoft's, on the other hand, felt like the early days of the Wii all over again. It was painful to watch - I saw history repeating itself. They're obviously trying to mimic the Wii (and it's success), but that's just a stupid idea. They're just putting themselves 3 years behind the race - even Nintendo is trying (and, by their presentation, succeeding) to get away from a heavy casual market. I feel Sony's attempt to focus on traditional games with Move controls (such as Dead Space 2, Resident Evil 5 and Heavy Rain) is a better idea, as they're actually trying to find their own path instead of following behind.

^ I must correct you. PS3 is NOT getting steam support. (Kotaku) CORRECTION: Portal 2 will be "Steamworks enabled," which includes community support features, such as chat. It will not accommodate cross-platform play.

I think that Nintendo is "splitting" a little and is trying to make their (amazing) handhelds more on the "hardcore" side and their consoles more on the "heavy casual" side.
