Kinect (Accessory for Xbox)

The Kinect is finally here!!!

The "from box to use" process was really quick and easy. One cable (for the new console - two for the old one) and less than 5 minutes. 
The base of the Kinect was already pretty stable by itself on top of the tv, but we used double-sided tape, just to be safe.

Calibrating it was very easy as well as the "facial-recognition" sign in configuration for both users.

Changing between users is also very smooth and easy. When you leave the camera area and someone else enters, the Kinect automatically loads the other user.

One thing that was about to start bugging us when it finally stop were the updates (already, I know...). At least the were all quick.

Check out the promotional trailer:


The Kinect already comes with a game: "Kinect Adventures!".
The game will have its own post, to come later.

More Kinect features (voice command, video chat, Zune, ESPN, etc) to be added soon.

Pros: very easy to use from the start.
Cons: many updates already.

Wife score: 10/10
