    Are you buying kinect, why or why not. Even though microsoft has said that kinect is for everyone, most of the games are either family or kid orientated. Im just interested to see what you guys think. I am going to probably, just because it looks kind of cool and cant wait to see the homebrew for it:)

    The games that use Kinect aren't the types of games that I play.

    I didn't consider homebrew, but for now the gamepad and other basics is enough for me :p

    Sure as soon as it's in the $20 bargain bin. =P

    Honestly once I saw the Sonic Riders video for it I completely lost any and all interest. I'm sure it'll find its users though.

    Simple, NO! Been there with the Wii and don't intend on going back. I'm a gamer not a familly gamer or a "look like a tit pretending to be a ninja" guy.

    No because it won't work without me moving everything in my living room.

    I picked up a PS2 Eyetoy camera for £2.50 a few months back. When Kinect gets there I'll think about it.

    If you had asked prior to TGS, it would have been a resounding Hell no!


    But MS hit me in my weak spot bringing out Yukio Futatsugi. To me, he is above and beyond the most talented game developer in the industry, and I must play whatever he makes.

    So now the answer is... yes... though I will probably hold off on it until Project Draco comes out. In the meantime gotta be savin' up for that 3DS yo!

    No. I play my games at a desk in my bedroom. I don't have space to dance around flailing my arms.

    Not a chance!

    The only thing I need an xbox360 for is JP import shooters.

    At the current time (and probably for the first 6 months to a year), Not a chance in hell.

    Now to flip the question. Do I have a move? Yes/No. I have one on me at home but it's one of the offices copies that I'm borrowing. I have no plans to run out and buy one of my own in the near future either.

    I might consider getting one if the interface on Children of Eden doesnt sucks.

    Project Draco looks promising too

    I'll only get one if the Xbox Live Indie Games get access to the API for development.

    I have the same problem with the Kinect/Move as many other people. It costs nearly as much as a Wii. Why would I purchase something with almost no history or guarantee of developer support when for the same price I can but a console that already has a library of games and continued support?

    I'll think about it when I find it next to a Jaguar and 32X.
