I am very leery of ordering from amazon sellers, and even more so ordering anything used, but it's been a long time since Kinect was new so I had to try or give up on wanting to use my 360 Kinect games, especially the workouts. Current options don't exist for some reason!The Kinect I got was shipped quickly and is in excellent working condition. I'm once again back to using "Your Shape Fitness Evolved".

Lors de achats la kinect sensor, le jeu et le câble d’alimentation devrais être fournis telle que la description de l’article, j’ai acheté un câble d’alimentation et des jeux pour me rendre compte que la kinect est défectueuse et pratiquement inutilisable. Elle manque sans cesse de connections avec la console ou en cours de jeu il me demande de connecter la kinect déjà connecté. Ce n’est vraiment pas une bonne achat. -1

I ordered this product and when it was delivered it was it good condition. I plugged it in and it works perfectly. Only problem was that they didn’t send me the game that comes with it and that is the reason I’m giving this product 3 stars

Receive the sensor and games but without any AC adapter and it wasn't described.So plan to put 10$ more for an AC adapter.

-It is a fun addition to the xbox 360. obviously alot of movement will be required. Where the ps3 Move and the Wii have controllers, you ARE the controller here.-It recognizes you best within a 6-10' radius and sitting down while trying to use it or any of it's games is not going to benefit you at all with this.-I am a Gamer and usually go for shooters or adventure walk through games like tomb raider, or RPG's, but I also don't mind interactive games like this so I am enjoying it.-It can hear you just fine in a normal tone within the same room. Me and my bf even tried talking really low or saying the commands in different voices and it worked fine (even if your 360's in standby mode, as long as your on Dashboard, or go through the Kinect Hub to look for things and the mic sign's on, it can hear you). Obviously it will not understand random commands that are not relevant to the system or something on the screen. It also seems like Microsoft is still working on the next update for it so that the Kinect Hub (Dashboard for the Kinect use is different then your normal one) has all the same features eventually as the normal one. But for now, just your main menu options like Friends, sing in and out, video Kinect, Zune, Last fm, and some Kinect commercials, etc.-It can be used as an xbox camera and for video chat even if your friends do not have it, they can still see you if you want to chat. You can also use it as a microphone. Mine is about 7-8 feet away from my couch and talking normally or screaming while playing online games can be heard perfectly as if I had my headset on.-I didn't realize it before but it sizes you up every time you turn your 360 back on to readjust to your scenery as necessary. As you seen in the commercials... you really do need a good amount of room. I found it to work best about 4' off the ground and 7 feet away... when there are 2 people trying to play (which so far appears to be the max on one screen/ per Kinect) you MUST be at least 8-10' back and works best with at least 5-8 feet of room left or right.-What we all really wanted to know, How accurate is it:Well to me, it appeared that it depended on what Game I played. If the company that created the game utilized the technology properly then it works just fine to accomplish all game goals without being too irritated. Takes a little bit to get used to but after about 6 rounds of any given game in Kinect Adventure and you will not only 'Get It' but you will enjoy yourself alot. You have to be okay with moving around because your moving your feet around too. The sensor has points of your body that it can read best which is what it basis your movements upon, your LEGS not feet, your ARMS, not hands as much, Your HEAD, and your body (chest and abdomen). Just wave at Kinect or and it will start waiting for any additional movements. You MUST go through the whole recognition process if you want it to know who you are otherwise it'll keep mixing people up. Example, It thinks most guys are my boyfriend because he hadn't set his up to his avatar and gamer tag.Cons:I kept away from comparing it to Wii and PS3' motion items because in my opinion they are NOT the same thing, I can sit down and relax while playing my Wii and the Kinect is all about getting up and being the on screen character. Still, I think it is a very fun addition, it DOES stay on ALL times that your xbox 360 is on, you can only talk to it when you see a little microphone symbol at the bottom right, you should really only keep one arm up at a time when going through menus, and watch out when playing with friends, if you cross over each other, it will not be able to read BOTH peoples areas(crossed arms from 2 different people for example will just not move correctly or at all).All in all though, My BF, his friends and I (all between 18 and mid 20's) enjoyed it (a change from the usual Halo, BL, OB, etc). Adventures is a good starter game and we enjoyed it, I recommend it for anyone that has at least 6' of room to play in and wants to get up and enjoy such a self involving game. I cannot wait for Star Wars to come out, I give the Kinect a 4, The sensory will get better as the game gets better as it can be just a little glitchy, but that is to be expected, if it was able to pick up on every bit of your body heat to perfect it then it would need to be its own system, not just an add on for the xbox 360. I think its worth the price to be able to play games that were specifically made with the kinect in mind... Good fun for sure!

Let me first say I never was a fan of motion controls, never got into the Wii, or the recently released PS Move. I've played both but neither interested me much...not enough to warrant a purchase at least.I should probably also mention I purchased Kinect strictly for the voice commands, and navigating with gestures.The above statement was short lived after receiving the unit today. After I took the sensor out and set it up (it was bigger and heavier than I thought, not a bad thing just a pleasant surprise) I mounted it under my LED TV, with the .Installation and setup is a breeze, I'm using an Xbox 360 S, so one single cable is all you need. I mounted the sensor, plugged it in and powered up the console. Long story short a few screens with tips and positioning graphics, a quick little tutorial and you're on the way.My very favorite feature, the one that blew me away is the voice recognition. I cant wait to see what Microsoft does with this down the road, after seeing it in action...it can only get better and better.Next up was a few games of Kinect Adventures, online with a friend. I must say I have never been so impressed with motion control gaming until today! The obstacle course levels and rafting are simple concepts that turn out to be just an absolute blast! When you get a couple 27 year old men laughing and giggling like school girls, that's a good time!A side note, this is one heck of a workout, absolutely hard to believe you can feel the burn and excitement of a workout with a video game, and alot of laughs!Not holding a controller is hands down the main selling point for Kinect, and Microsoft has marketed it that way (You are the controller) The way the camera reads and displays your every move is something out of a sci-fi film. Ducking, jumping, dodging, striking poses to collect coins, everything is fluid and responsive. Alot of people ask about lag, but surprisingly the two games I've played (Kinect Adventures & Kinect Sports, more on that later) show minimal to no lag whatsoever. You duck, your avatar ducks, you throw your hands up in celebration, your avatar reflects it perfectly...amazing.Now onto Kinect Sports, this game is a down right good time, bowling, boxing, table tennis, track and field, all just so much fun! All in all, I'm just downright blown away. The lack of controllers to charge, store, wave around, etc, makes Kinect the absolute best motion controller(free) experience around.I have nothing against Move or Wii, I own a PS3, and enjoy it the alot, however when it comes down to motion games Xbox wins my praises.I cant explain the fun to be had with a Kinect with just words, you literally just have to hook one up in your home and have a blast. Kids and adults alike will enjoy hours of fun and entertainment, just be ready for a good workout!*One more thing, Netflix voice/motion controls are not available yet, but it should be coming soon, that should really take Kinect over the top.

First let me say, YES, there is a lag BUT it does not take away from the fun of this thing. Also I did have a difficult time calibrating it to me. It doesn't see dark clothing or dark skin too well and halogen light stands are an issue... with that being said, how can I not give this thing 5 Stars. I am sure, as time goes on, more titles will launch and Microsoft XBOX 360 people have always been pretty good of sending out updates to your machine. So I am not really worried about stuff like that. What I will say is that there is so much potential for this thing.VOICE COMMANDS: The Voice Commands are A MAJOR PLUS! I use it with Zune and in a Zune pass, when I am playing music, all I have to do is say XBOX Pause, or XBOX Play (and next or previous). And when I am playing a movie or TV show through Zune, I just tell it to (all commands are preceded by XBOX) to stop, pause, play. Plus you just tell it to go to the Kinect Hub or Dashboard.The only thing missing is the Netflix add-in with the Kinect. Hopefully that update is around the corner. Oh and the ESPN add-in for the Kinect is great. You can watch live games as they are playing, or check out highlights through Sportscenter and even watch a game from the previous day. This is very cool. I watch a little of the Clippers game. Of course, the games must be carried by ESPN, but since they are a subsidiary of ABC, I am hoping that I can get some ABC carried sports.AS FOR THE GAMES: I have been playing Kinect Adventures and I live in a Condo, 2nd floor, and trust me, the game wants you to jump and not just make the motion as if you are jumping. This could be a problem for people who live under you or for people with any joint discomforts. But the games are fun, Rally ball don't require you to jump, but I like the one game where it ask you to flap your arms and you avatar float around trying to complete the task. By the way, it doesn't seem to use the avatar you created, well maybe it does, because last night it couldn't calibrate me, but this morning it did. I have to give that a shot and see.YOU THE CONTROLLER: This takes a little getting use to, but I am getting better at maneuvering the screen ala Tom Cruise. It is not as fast as a physical controller, but that's not the point. The point is that it works well as you being the controller.VIDEO IMAGES @ Voice Messaging: With the invent of HD Video and Mega-pixel of photos, this part is a bit underwhelming. When it takes a photo of you playing the games, it looks like a photo from the JFK assassination.. really graining, but viewable. But with that being said, it takes a photo of EVERYTHING around you, so you may want to clean house or put away anything you don't want seen... like that 12 pack, or that person you have tied up in the background (QUIET you!). Just kidding around. The cool thing about it, you don't have to share the photos if you don't want to and you can delete them. But what is there fun in that, not sharing. Of course, you want to share your embarrassing photo of you looking like an idiot playing this game. The voice messaging is a heck of a lot better than the microphone on the headset. Screw typing, I can now just send my friends a clear voice message through Kinect.OVERALL: This system makes me feel like I am actually here in the future. Kinect and the XBOX360 seems to be more than just about gaming. The Kinect has no hard-core gaming connection and that isn't the reason for it and even if it offers that, i don't think I could put down the controller because I want things to happen when I push a button. I am a big first person shooter person, but this Kinect device makes it fun and interesting to do other stuff. I love using the voice commands and have it actually do the thing that you ask. Way fricking cool.

First off, I would like to give a brief summary of where I am coming from to allow anyone in a similiar position to appreciate this incredible machine. I am 27 years old, married to a 24 year old, and we have 3 little girls. And by little, i mean a 3 1/2 yr old, a 19 month old, and a 6 month old. Also, I am proud to say that I am a gamer. I started with a used atari and then went through the Nintendo years... First a NES, then Gameboy, SNES, and N64. I finally broke the mold and got a PS2 and XBox. I currently have a XBox 360 and a Nintendo DSi. In short, gaming has always been a large part of my life.I say all of that to say I would consider myself a "core" gamer. You know, the type of guy that would not be interested in the Kinect. Of course, how can you play the serious games like COD or Gears without a controller? Well, don't believe everything you hear. THE KINECT IS AMAZING!!! Is it perfect? Nope. But I went in knowing that the experience to be had was not the same as if I had just picked up the next best game. The Kinect isn't here to replace a controller. I have no idea why people have that in their heads. The kinect is yet another way to immerse yourself in a video game and, ultimately, have fun. I received my Kinect on release day and the whole family has been loving it. While the 2 youngest girls aren't quite ready to play, my 3 yr old is having a blast. My wife, who will NEVER play a game with me, is fighting with me over getting to play it.So, unless you are extremely out of shape or some uneducated fanboyish moron that considers the Kinect a cheap Wii-rip-off, GO OUT AND GET THIS THING!! You will be up off of your feet and having an absolute blast. Beyond the games themselves, it is amazing technology you get to play with here. There is the dashboard motion controls, the voice commands, the video chat, and the rumors on what else is coming is truly fantastic. Will also add that while you are in party chat or just in a game with someone online, you do not need a headset to talk. You just talk like the other person is there and you can chat away, no headphones needed. As long as you don't go in thinking this will be 100% precise and perfect, and you are open to just HAVING FUN, you will not be disappointed.One last thing I would like to touch on is the better-than-advertised feature regarding photo uploads. Going in, I knew that when I played Kinect Adventures, it would take my picture and I could throw it on Facebook or whatever. What I didn't realize is that it can not only take photos, but actually record video of whoever is playing. While, for the time being, this is only available to three games: Kinect Adventures, Kinect Sports, and Kinect Joy Ride, it was rather suprising when we played our first game on Kinect Sports and had a highlight reel video to watch and upload afterwards. It is truly amazing. This is far beyond being a Wii-rip off because it truly raises the bar of video gaming technology when it comes to interacting with the player.All in all, I had very high expectations for the Kinect and even I have been blown away. My wife and I are always looking for ways to play with our girls together, and this is the new center of entertainment for our household. She stays at home with all 3 girls and, just maybe, she even has a way to let them exert all that energy without tearing up the house!

I am normally not a early adopter until recently. I ordered the Kinect when I saw it go on presale as I was very curious how it would work and how the tech would develop. I got the device in hand on Nov 4th and my wife and I have been using it since. (for almost a month now)To give you some demographic and environment info: I am ~30, I am not in any kind of shape (chubby, lazy, IT guy), the room we have Kinect in is our apartment living room with a space of ~ 8x7' in front of the TV when we move the coffee table out of the way, lighting is pretty dim in the room, and the Kinect is about 2.5 - 3ft above the floor under our center speaker under our TV mounted on the wall. TV is a 52" LCD that is wall mounted as well.Kinect iself-being the first itteration of the tech, I can see lots of room for improvement and can see where limitations to keep the price point where it is were placed. (like low res 3D camera, low res color camera, no CPU offloading of the processing, etc...) But... as we have seen with the Xbox 360 itself, development and advancement is impressive just in software. I expect developers, and MS to exploit this to full effect!Pros:Currently, it works well. The menus are great, the hand and voice movement detection works very well, and the facial recognition is also very accurate even in dim lighting.The potential for integration into other parts of the system is epic.Video Kinect's integration with Windows Live Messenger, and soon Lync will be also a great way to reduce the footprint of another web cam, or chat component in your life.Cons:Limited menus or navigation in Kinect for the rest of the Xbox. From what I understand this will be changing in the coming months. It would be great to have the same hand and voice controls through the entire Xbox UIThe ability to customize the hover time to select something should be offered, or allow wrist movement or hand movement detection to clock on something.Confusion in some games if you leave the play area, or dont, or switch with someone else and sometimes it doesnt notice.Inconsistencies in the game UI's... some are awesome, some are crap, and some leverage full facial recognition to log you into a game session (if you switch players), others don't... A standardization of this would be great and is an easy software fix.About the price-$150 isn't that bad for what you get. You get a game that would retail for ~ $49.00 + a controller that can support 2 players. Compare that to the price of other controllers for two people + a game and you are at the same price or close to it. Given that this is also a web cam, and gives more functionality than any controller package around... I think this is not bad.In reality you'll spend more on games than the Kinect which is the story with any console.Gaming with Kinect -Kinect Games we have:Joy RideKinect SportsKinect AdventuresEA Sports Active 2and Your Fitness EvolvedInitial game impressions:FUN - every game we fire up is entertaining in its own way. Joy Ride was a blast to just dork around with and the interface is pretty smooth and easy to use. Its not a racing game as you would expect, and I would like more actual driving interface (control acceleration and braking), but still quite fun.A great workout - Just playing table tennis in Kinect Sports can break quite a sweat and get the blood pumping. The boxing is quite a workout in Kinect Sports itself. EA Sports Active 2, and Your Shape fitness evolved are both serious and quite intense workouts. Those both make the Wii Fit seem like a toy as this isn't using some abstract movement data from a single point to think you are doing something right... These are critical of your position, posture, movements to ensure you are getting the most out of it. I would recommend being a bit careful if you are heavier (like me), the jumping in some of the games can be quite hard on the joints.A refreshing way to get everyone playing - Before the Xbox was mainly my toy, my wife had little interest in it. Now we play games together actively, and have a blast doing it. It is quite a refreshing take on console games and is making it more of an inclusive event to get family and friends engaged with.Loaded with black mail ready pictures - While doing many of these games, video and pictures are taken... so it is wise to do these in proper attire ;) Most of these pics are purged from the machine, and you need to choose to upload them to KinectShare.com which from there you can choose to upload to your favorite social network or download them. We find most of the pics and vid to be funny as hell, but also quite embarrassing at times, now seeing how foolish we look ducking-dodging-jumping in Kinect Adventures :)Overall, and relevance compared to other motion tracking products-I dont think you can go wrong with Kinect. Out of the box its 4 of 5 stars, still has some development do to, but is far above my expectations, and any issue I have or concern I have can be resolved with simple code changes. This is the future of gaming in its G1 stage. I think in the end a hybrid of what Sonys Move is, and Kinect is how we will see gaming evolve. Full 3D mapping and hand held controls. But if I have to choose one over the other, I think Kinect is a far better purchase at this time as it has far more of a future for it than just the "Wii with a light" - MOVE system. The Kinect seems far more easy to get into than the Move from what I have seen... people are far more willing to give Kinect a chance than Move if placed in front of one or the other.For serious gaming, I use product specific tools - For Forza, or PC based racing, I have Fanatec Turbo S Clubsport wheel setup, for FPS I use the hand held controllers... Each thing has its own benefits. Just as Kinect does, it's not good for everything, but the stuff it is good for, it rocks at.Kinect is revolutionary for gaming much as the Wii was a few years ago. The Move system is evolutionary off the Wii concept and is definitely a great refinement on what was started by Nintendo. Kinect will be evolved from this point via software and presumably in the next gen of consoles becomes the center stage of the controller system, or a core augmentation of any controller interface.And the price point is reasonable for a two person controller with game. Price out any other combo out there with two physical controllers and a game and you are nearly to the same price.Can't go wrong!
