[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5392833, member: 8835"] I just setup the Kinect on my Xbox last night. An early x-mas present for the wife (I object to buying technology with a limited warranty to let it waste a month in a box under a tree before its actually opened and tested). I had to move the couch back 3-4 more feet to make room. Luckily my living room can support that, but that's definitely a nusiance. It came with Kinect Adventures, which to me is really a bunch of productized test/demo games. Its OK. I also got Your Shape and The Biggest Loser. My wife wanted the Kinect for the execrise training games, so thats what we got. I tried Your Shape last night. The gym games were short, and relatively simple. I expect the workouts to be more intense. I was surprised to see the Kinect wasn't directly integrated with the xbox dashboard, except for a hand-wave gesture or single "Xbox Kinect" voice command to bring you to the Kinect Hub (a Kinect-centric dashboard). I find it a little awkward to pause a game, or exit a game. Something that to me I'd like the dashboard and xbox menu fully so I can go without controllers. I think there's a market for a Kinect Rug, so the players know where the game zone is on the floor... Just a quick review... [/QUOTE]
