And in summary...?

The important stuff is in between the ***

If I have to have the Kinect tuned on me, I may not even get the console. I hate shoving motion-sensing gaming down the throats of everyone.

That's the one thing from this article that I can't imagine would be true.

Mandatory Kinect sounds terrible. In addition to being a peripheral that I have no interest in, it's going to increase the cost of the console.

:rage:

Fuck these guys

 

[jms493]

Im cancelling my preorder...this is BS!:nahste2:

 

[JimLeavy59]

When I read that Kinect part I was pretty much turned off right away. If thats true than the next XBOX is a no go.

This concept of no used games really sucks.
My living room setup is kinda small for the current Kinect, I wonder if this new version will fix that.

I think that we will see a drastic reduction in first day, and even full-price purchases. Without the option to buy the game used, many people will just wait out the price drop. Its not going to hurt the big exclusives and the huge titles like Madden and GTA, but everyone else will feel it.

I'm not believing shit until I hear from M$ themselves.

Also, Jms.. where did you preorder from anyways? :shifty:

Ok,so the bit about Kinect sounds a little ridiculous, no? Why would it be a separate entity but have to be plugged in for the console to function? Why isn't it just built into the console itself? Unless another iteration of their god awful power brick is incorporated into it?

You mean like the WiiMote Sensor. This is nothing new. But again fuck Microsoft.

Yes, pretty much.

what this article is saying is ridiculous. That's like saying my tv won't work unless I have batteries in the remote.

And let's all hope that if this is true M$ supports the fucking thing far better than they did the original Kinect. All they did was market the shit out of it and sold millions of them only to not make any games for the damn thing. If it wasn't for third parties that thing would've been the next NES Power Glove. But hey, what did they care? They were making money hand over fist and that's
's really all that matters, right?

Therefore I will need to put my console in front of the TV or on top??? Unless the console is the size of a Apple TV...not going to work copper.

I don't have my Kinect centered right now and it still works, well at least as far as well as can be expected. Plus the new version is supposed to have a wider lens and need far less space to work. I don't see why that is so far fetched racquet boy.

U are still forcing me to put the console in line of sight. Dont tell me where to put my console....but I am ok if u tell me where to put a small camera.

M$ basically forced you to have a huge empty loft to get this Kinect to work properly and they have always touted the Xbox as being "the centerpiece of your living room". Do you honestly think they don't have the hubris to basically force you to put the console in the center of your entertainment center, you know, so that it functions "Better with Kinect"?

Until rumors come out that the Kinect is actually built into the console, that doesn't really matter. These rumors are saying that it plugs in, so you saying that they could may make you keep the console out in the center of the room is kind of irrelevant at the moment.
