Wow? still over here (Australia) because of currency conversion or something it'll cost like $200-300 and those "$49.99" games will end up something like $70-80.. (unless you get from JB HI-FI or some place with great deals)


And Tom's.. WHY THE HELL did i get a full screen advert?! you better not start doing this crap, i want to read the new's, not look at a fullscreen ad as soon as i try to read the news!

epic fail!
i really dont see motion (without aided controllers) taking off..
yeah i'd spend x amount on guitar hero/rock band because they are physical items...i dont wanna spend £120 (uk pounds) on a camera so i dance around looking like a d**k.
the ps3 move..now that has a tempting price tag, £40 (uk pounds) is low enough that if i bought it and never used it..i wouldnt be bothered.

Good point, but i don't agree with annoying windows like this, i fully appreciate what services they give us here at Tom's hardware AND Tom's guide, and i know profit is ALSO made by adverts.

I just have a grudge against those "click here to continue" Ad's.

wii doesnt have a motion aided controller?oh wait it does..
can you really imagine playing a game like mario kart on Kinect?sat there with your hands flapping left and right like a fool. its just so limited and restrictive on the games you can play. there is a reason why nintendo and sony both declined the technology..

Why does not having a motion aided controller make it an Epic Fail.

Most folks I know with an XBOX will be getting 1, Finally the XBOX will bring the family side to the console the way the Wii has always been.

I think it is good Microsoft is bringing family orientede content to its console, Shooting everything that moves games are good but they are not that brilliant for 5 year olds.

Good on Bill Gates and Microsoft, but as for saying Epic Fail just becuse there is no controller I Fail to get my head round teh logic of that.

Though Kinect is a new addon, it is being marketed by MS as an entirely new console in itself. Looks just like a gimmick to further milk the XBOX 360 cash cow, selling the ages old hardware in a new packaging.

Probably if the USB port can power it and if someone creates drivers.
