Take a look at what some of the Xbox 360 Kinect customer reviews had to say:

For years my teens have enjoyed playing XBOX 360 games that neither my wife nor I could relate to (HALO, etc.). I purchased this controller and a 2nd game (Kinect Sports) and now the whole family can’t wait for that hour after dinner to enjoy a round of bowling, boxing, or even track and field competition. My wife and I are 50-somethings and this is the first time we have really enjoyed gaming with the kids. I am very happy about this purchase.

Simply a lot of fun, and gets my butt off the couch. Unlike the Wii, you’re actually going to have to exercise with this! 

We bought the Kinect for Xbox 360 for use as a family game. For our sons, we got them Kinect sports, which has soccer, beach volleyball, bowling, table tennis, track and field, and boxing. They love it, and we love the fact that they are off of the couch and jumping around getting some much needed exercise during this long, cold Winter. For my wife and I we got the “Your Shape Fitness Evolved”, which is great because you can work up a pretty good sweat worthy of a true workout.

This truly is a revolutionary piece of equipment and will get you gaming like never before!

The price tag that the manufacturer, Microsoft, put on the Kinect is $150. But if you’ve been shopping around for one you’ll soon realize that you’ll see prices anywhere from $190 to $300. And that’s assuming that you can actually order one because almost every store, both online and offline is out of stock.

This situation has been created by the fact that Microsoft underestimated the popularity, and subsequently the demand, for the Kinect. So while they scramble to produce more of these amazing controllers, the price for them seems to be on a rollercoaster.

It appears that the going rate is around $200.00 (including shipping) on Ebay. And for now, this price seems to be holding on Amazon also. Since the prices are about the same, it’s probably a good idea to take advantage of Amazon’s excellent customer support and return policy. Although you can get some good deals on Ebay, you never really know who you’re dealing with and how difficult it might be to get service if there’s a problem with the shipment or the product.

My recommendation if you really want to get an Xbox 360 Kinect for Christmas this year, is to go ahead and order one now. You may be kicking yourself that you didn’t pre-order one when they were $150, but as it gets closer to Christmas, you could conceivably be looking at prices in the $300′s. And then the current $200 price tag will look cheap and you’ll be kicking yourself even harder

It seems that Microsoft really has a hit on its hands. In fact, on Wednesday, Microsoft raised its sales forecast of the Kinect to 5 million units, up from 3 million. If that pans out, the company will sell perhaps $1 billion worth of Kinect systems and games by the end of the year.

Everybody’s so excited about it that both Oprah and Ellen gave an Xbox 360 and a Kinect bundle to their audiences.

The users of the Kinect, are loving how easy it is to set up. Initially, you have to teach the Kinect your body movements and voice, so you go through some exercises so it can learn your body and voice. Then you’re ready to play.

It turns out that the Xbox 360 Kinect, formerly named Project Natal, is just about everything it was hyped up to be. With its ability to recognize hand, body, and voice commands, it’s a definite glimpse into the future of how we will interact with computers. And in the meantime, it’s an incredible blast to play with!

That’s the day that the brand new, revolutionary Xbox 360 Kinect controller will be released and available to buy. Many afficionados are planning to camp out in front of big-box stores to get their hands on this new equipment. They’ll do the whole standing in line for hours, probably starting the night before, with their coolers of snacks and drinks, just so they can rush into the store the minute it opens its doors. And hope that they’re one of the lucky ones who gets their hands on a Kinect before the store runs out.

But the smart Kinect fans aren’t going to bother with all of that trouble or possible heartache. They’re the ones that are pre-ordering their new Xbox gaming controller online. Internet retailers have gotten smart and are offering to not just ship the Kinect on November 4, but by ordering it with the option of Release-Date Delivery, they’re going to have it in their customers’ hands on that date! Just think, you can be sitting at home and the doorbell rings and it’s your new Kinect. Or even better, you could be at work, and the box shows up for you to show it off to all your friends and co-workers.

As of this writing, it’s only 10 more days until the Xbox 360 Kinect release date. Be sure not to miss out on getting yours by pre-ordering it today.

“I can’t remember the last time I jumped so high. Kinect Adventures looked so lame in Microsoft’s press conference just two days ago. But now I find myself leaping and lunging like a stuck lamb to win. I’m frolicking.

Hop to go faster. Dodge left to slide by a bumper. A glance to my right to eye my competition who, a few moments before, had shared a raft with me as we negotiated a path down a river, leaning and jumping in tandem—another unexpectedly enjoyable experience.

My heartbeat quickly accelerating, I realized something: The Wiimote rewards gamers’ proficiency at exercising the least possible physical exertion—indeed, if you get too frantic the Wiimote can stop registering your motions altogether—while with Kinect, I found myself exaggerating everything.

The experience of Kinect Sports is much the same—I underestimated the title’s fun until I actually tried it out. Less like Wii Sports than Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, a track-and-field-style hurdle game requires me to pump my knees high into the air, then jump at appropriate times, then pump my knees some more. While Kinect’s lag means I have to make my leaps earlier than expected, the frenetic and earnest competition (a testament to Kinect’s accuracy and Kinect Sports’ game design) keeps it fun.

There’s something very special about using Microsoft’s Kinect system, something that separates it from every other combination of software and hardware I’ve ever used. Kinect adapts and accommodates the user. I’m not learning it; it’s learning me.

Maybe I’m tossing around the word “learn” a bit too liberally. Kinect actually works because it’s already learned how humans move thanks to Microsoft’s (Prime Sense’s) research—intelligence is built into the box before I step in front of it.”

And the best thing about Kinect Adventures is that now Microsoft has bundled it with the Kinect itself. So you don’t even have to pay extra for it.

People who are in the know have already pre-ordered their Kinect so they can be sure they have it on the release date of November 4.  Yep, that’s right, you can actually order the Kinect online and receive it on the release date. And now they’re even bundling the Kinect with a Kinect game called Kinect Adventures.

Up until now, the most up-to-date system delivering workout and physical exercise games was definitely the Nintendo Wii. There are a wide range of top selling health and fitness games out there providing benefits to players, meaning they actually work. Not only can you use them with the Nintendo Wii, but it’s possible now, because of Microsoft, to experience them on your Xbox 360 making use of the Kinect product.

At the most recent E3 gaming conference, Microsoft unveiled this innovative device and we actually had the ability to view it in action. It is absolutely awesome, and from now on it will be possible to experiment with unique completely new Kinect games on your Xbox 360 without the need for a controller, because it is all motion sensitive. So get prepared for
a variety of distinctive Kinect Fitness games which will be introduced very soon, because it will be possible to perform workouts controller
free!

To begin with, Kinect Fitness games are soon to be released, so let’s check out a few of them:

 * EA Sports Active for Kinect – Among the best quality gaming applications for the Xbox 360.

The EA Sports is unquestionably the most effective health and fitness game provider as their initial offering was among the best selling games for Nintendo Wii. This new product will utilize several varied exercises to follow along with, a personal virtual fitness instructor to help keep you motivated, an internet hub where it is possible to share your progress and target goals, and even more!
 

 * Your Shape Fitness Evolved – This wasn’t much of a winner for Nintendo Wii, but its new sequel offers a lot more quality workouts. This game title is scheduled to be launched for Xbox 360 Kinect in November, 2010. Among the first announced games, this one was even demonstrated at the E3 gaming conference. And even though it’s not going to be released until November of this year, you can pre-order Your Shape Fitness Evolved with free shipping.

 * The Biggest Loser Kinect - Yet another well known game health and fitness title already produced for Wii and now coming for Xbox 360.

These are just three of the first-to-be announced health and fitness games for Kinect. Make sure you have a look at the complete list of Kinect Fitness games on this web page, which is updated with the most recently released game titles.

I don’t know why Microsoft has to tantalize us like this. For heaven’s sake, they had celebrities playing with Kinect at E3, why can’t we have it now? November is waaaaay too long to wait, but wait we must. Maybe it’ll be that much more exciting when I do actually get my grubby little hands on it for having to endure the agony of waiting.

The good news is that they are taking pre-orders, so maybe they’ll actually have enough of them when the time comes and it won’t be a matter of standing in line for days to (hopefully) be able to buy one at the store. No, I’ll be pre-ordering mine online because with Amazon, they have a cool service called Release-Date Delivery, which means I’ll actually get my Kinect ON the release date. How cool is that?

Microsoft says the new Kinect is not aimed at hard core gamers. It’s meant to be attractive to the rest of us, the casual gamers.

Kinect is a revolutionary concept that allows for an entirely new way to play video games. It involves cameras in the kinect box that monitor the player’s movements and translates them to motion on the monitor, so it actually feels like you’re in the game.

Believe me, this new must-have device is going to do away with the term, couch potato.
