I will probably be getting a Move once I finally plat Resistance 2 in a couple of weeks. I'm mainly hoping to use it for RE5. I was hyped to use it for Dead Space 2 when that comes out. Then I learned that the Move only works for Extraction...lame!

To get it to work somewhat properly, you need 9ft of open space in front of your TV to play a game with more than one person (for one person you need 7ft). That is absurd: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/11/04/kinect-review/

It is like MS decided to take the worst part about the Wii - the inane flailing about - and somehow make it even worse.

Also, the review of Sonic Riders Kinect (or whatever it is called) up on Kotaku is a riot: http://kotaku.com/5681472/review-sonic- ... ols-can-be

Move is a joke too, but at least they improved on the Wii design. Kinect is a horrible step backwards for motion control.

But Oprah and Ellen like it, so it will sell.
I thought Sega was only going to release "good Sonic games" now? Damn liars :lol:

No, it doesn't. I think you misread my RE5 (Resident Evil 5) as meaning Resistance 2.

I'm still interested in the move, but honestly, I don't really want to get off the couch.

i just don't see the appeal with the wii or its ripoffs. i know families who bought a wii so they can have family gaming night. guess how long that lasted?

anyways, my mom was at best buy doing some shopping and she gave me a call asking if i had an xbox360 and if i heard of the move/kinect/or whatever its called. i took this as, i know what you're getting for christmas. my response, "please, don't buy me that for christmas. donate that money to charity instead."
if you took a shit, please put it back

Damn looks like the Kinect has already sold 1 million units in just ten days and is on pace to sell 5 million by the end of the year.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20101116/tc ... tmicrosoft
WASHINGTON (AFP) – Microsoft said it sold one million Kinect motion-sensing controllers for the Xbox 360 videogame console in 10 days and is on pace to sell five million by the end of the year.
"This is a great start to the holiday season," said Don Mattrick, president of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business.
"We will continue to work with our retailer partners to keep pace with high demand and deliver against our plan to sell more than five million Kinect sensors worldwide by the end of this year," Mattrick said in a statement.
Microsoft launched the Kinect in North America on November 4 and in Europe last week. It launches in Asia later this week.
Kinect uses a 3D camera and motion recognition software to let people play videogames using natural body movements and voice commands instead of hand-held controllers.
The standalone Kinect, which works with the 45 million Xbox 360s already sold worldwide, costs 150 dollars. A four-gigabyte Xbox 360 console that includes the Kinect and the "Kinect Adventures" game sells for 299 dollars.

Any game that involves me accurately pointing at things on a screen I'll take motion control over a standard controller any day.

Going from RE4 on the Wii to RE5 on the PS3 was so frustrating.
