lol kinda funny in that interview with the microsoft guy at E3 by gametrailers..
gametrailers is like.. "sony will sell their move package thing for 99$, but there's still no price for kinect"
and the microsoft guy is like... "we'll announce it soon and you'll be very very happy with the price!"


at that point I almost thought that the 150$ rumors were false and it's actually gonna be a good price....

should have known that when a microsoft guy says the price is gonna be awesome, then the price is gonna suck big time.


when a full move experience costs at least 3 times the price of kinect... you really can't say the 150$ price is steep Laughing

MS will continued to make games using the 360 controller. It's not like all developers are going to abandon the controller. Kinect will be used for games without the 360 controller. There are two different audiences and new types of games. There are plenty of game ideas for no controllers, but obvious you guys are too close minded to accept it.


If you hate it, ignore it.

Only 6 years behind Nintendo..Sony and Microsoft are now finally catching up. What a joke both companies are. Garbage consoles..Ill stick with the WII for motion gaming that was out 6 years ago.

This really is the best device made by microsoft. TBH I think it should be 300$. Just think about the amount of time microsoft have used developing it. And in some few years we will probably see 70% kinect games. Can't wait!

lol wut

Nothing more to say. They will fail with this shit for sure.


so 360 slim 250 gig is 299 + 150[kinect] + 10[hmdi cable] = 459 LULZ what a fail
when Ps3 slim 120 gig{after that you can insert any 500gig hdd} is 199 + 20(ps3 eye) + 30(move pad) + 50(move wand) = 299 lulz looks now even more like a WIN for me Laughing

edit: just found a pr site that in six months they will release a bundle console+game+kinect for 199 and 299


Where can you get a slim for 199?? al i find is 299

Christ, even the Wiimote has a 1024x768/30fps camera inside it. Granted, it's B&W, but still far higher quality than Kinect.

LMAO @the people who said Kinect was cheap because you only need one for all the players, where in Move you need one controller per person. Tracking 2 persons surely is worth 150$ lol wut

4 controllers for 2 people to play boxing
2 controllers and 2 numchuks to play the bow and arrow game with 2 people
all in all for a total 4 player of move awesome experience you need 8 normal controls and 4 numchucks.
and you're set .

I just want the interface from kinect. it better work while sitting down!

... the move control pad is only a simple dualshock 3 pad that uses sixaxis... they already confirmed that all PS3 Move games can be played with a "sixaxis Pad" and those that have already the ps3eye need only "Move pad" and they are set

Yes, but you are discrediting your own point there. Move allows 4 players. Kinect not, only 2...


On a different note: Isn't anybody suspicious that the resolution is 640×480, meaning a 4:3 resolution, where all X360 games are 16:9? Doesn't make sense does it? Who would want to use a resized or cut down image?

Yes. But with kinect do you really want more than 2 people dancing in your living room? or more than 2 people jumping onto a shitty raft in your living room? Especially if you live in a condo and you have fat friends.

I don't see any serious flaws with kinect. With move is see plenty. for a 1:1 motion tracking... it's cool and all... but there's delay. There is delay with wii but not all if any wii games are true hardcore where .5 of a milisecond count for a frag.

Kinect is a buy for me if the interface is as advertised. Move not so much as I don't see anything decent from it. I'm pretty sure you can't have 2 on 2 brawls. Or 4 player shoot out in co-op using move. It'd just feel too disco-ish.

Move can have superior capabilities, but that god damn glow orb will be very distracting to a tonne of players who get irked whenever their tv does an accidental flicker.
