I don't know how to create a poll?

Wanted to know, who is going to get one, who thinks they will be great or who thinks it'll be crap?

Looking at getting mine for free from http://consoles.freebiejeebies.co.uk/79

Kinect Adventures. Laggy and unresponsive.

Save £30 and buy a Wii as well.

Not even remotely interested in it, when I get home from a long day at work I don't want to be jumping around my lounge playing something, much prefer a nice comfortable chair and a controller.

I would like to know if anyone has tried some games that they think are good on it, I'm very undecided at the mo.

Apparently it has voice activation, so if you are watching a film and need to take a quick leak, you just shout "Xbox, pause!" and it will pause it for you. Sounds cool.

My Mrs. has that functionality already, she'll also fetch me a beer if I'm lucky, like to see the Kinect do that.

rofl

Sounds like a pile of wk tbh... Everything that it does in movies/menus can be done with a controller/remote control and I'm a gadget nut, this isnt minority report stuff yet!

I'm not convinced on the games either, if it's just wii-like shovelware, then they can forget it.

Or maybe I could tie a wiimote around my neck and hula it like a retard, strap a playstation move controller to my bell-end whilst navigating the menu's on my xbox with my arsecheeks shouting 'xbox, play!' Then I'll be the coolest window licker in town.

I'll probably still get it though

I hope that Kinect and PS Move do really poorly, because jumping about and waving your arms around isn't what the consoles are about. Surely everyone who wants that sort of thing from their console has already bought a Wii, not only because its been around for a while already, but because the whole Nintendo franchise is set up really well to work with that type of game.

I'm going to be getting PS Move in a console bundle, and will be selling it without taking it out of its box.

That said, I bet they are a huge success. Arses.

Hmm, my little girl has a Wii and I agree with the points that consoles are for me sitting down when I get in.

However: Early adverts made it out to be amazing, yet a couple of people I know have used one and said it was shocking!
