Kinect Is Released! Order now!
It's here! Kinect has arrived. If you already pre-ordered, you will have it on Nov. 4 in the USA. If you have not, well, you may be in for a disappointment. Why do you want it? Kinect eliminates the need for a hand-held remote controller. In essence, your body is the controller. Imagine controlling movement on the screen by moving your own body and making gestures with your hands and feet. Jump and watch the image jump. Spin and the image spins. Play with your friends or family.
Get the Kinect Sensor with Kinect Adventures!
An Xbox 360 with Kinect is a fabulous Christmas gift idea which -- without a doubt will be on most kids' and even adults' wish list. Why? Because it takes gaming to a level not seen before. There is no controller required! Essentially, your body is the controller. It comes packaged with the Kinect Adventures! game to get you started practicing your moves as you find yourself in exotic locales, where you can kick, jump, and make other motions to control the play. And the good news is that it's compatible with existing Xbox 360 consoles. Or buy the whole bundle if they don't own an Xbox 360 already. Or buy it for yourself! If you buy it for someone else, you can bet they will think you are the best gift-giver ever!
How Does the Kinect Sensor Work?
The Kinect sensor uses amazing full-body tracking, allowing it to recognize your specific body and copy its movements. You can play alone or interact with your friends or relatives. Imagine being able to interact with your uncle, aunt, sister, brother or anyone who would enjoy it also! All you have to know how to do is move your body. It's that simple and you don't have to know anything about technology or be concerned with anything technical whatsoever! Kinect provides an in-game experience in which the player’s face and voice are recognized. Greet and speak to characters in the game, or just step in view of the sensor to log into an Xbox LIVE account and connect. Kinect remembers voices and faces and can tell you apart from someone else.
With Kinect, you are IN the action, not just a couch potato. It provides game-playing that gets you on your feet moving, laughing, and amazed. You've never seen anything like it.
Kinect is scheduled for release November 4th, but chances are, if you don't pre-order you will be disappointed, and somebody else will walk away with the Kinect Sensor with Kinect Adventures! . According to a post at Amazon in a discussion group for Kinect:
Report on the week of August 21, 2010 [and that's a while back!], titled:
Kinect preorder data already looking good
"Kinect Adventures! (X360) jumps 26,000 pre-orders up from 15,000 the previous week. A close eye will be kept on this game as it comes bundled with Kinect and is an indicator as to how well Kinect will sell." It seems very possible that by mid-November, availability will be very scarce.
