Sorry but Move is no where near as sophisticated as Kinect. You can't justify purchasing Move over Kinect purely because of the price, its not even close to being the same experience. Wii Motion Plus with better graphics or completely controller free gaming?
The price isn't even that substantially different, Move controllers are like $70, if you want 2, plus the camera its almost the same price.

Its a step up from Motion Plus firstly.
Secondly, yeah sure controller free gaming sounds good. Currently though surely you can't back it up because it's content (from what I've seen) is absolute bollocks.

Regardless of its content, my point was that the price isn't that crazy considering move is almost as much as Kinect for something we've seen before. Right now Kinect is a cool toy, but its incredibly advanced and has potential to be very successful. Where as with Move, I've already got a wii, I have zero interest in it and its complete lack of innovation.

I hope both Kinect and Move fail. There just stealing the Wii's main selling point.
I'm sticking with my controller thank you very much. I'll get a Wii if i wanna jump around the room.

I wouldn't mind grabbing Kinect for the dancing game/s and Kinectimals (I think it's cute, sue me! lol!) but our lounge room probably wouldn't work with it. Our lounge is only 6ft back from the screen so I guess Kinect wouldn't be able to see a full body.

Nah, not a MS rep, just quiet interested to see what happens with kinect. I actually have all 3 consoles. Interested in this because it could be something really different..and I'm all for trying something different.

So the reviews and impressions coming out aren't too fantastic. Lots of returns due to MS undershooting the space requirements somewhat. The only game of any quality is Dance Central. I see it selling well until Christmas then dropping like a brick.

If you have a disability, do not bother with getting Kinect as it sounds like it does not work Great job on that one MS

And people with one arm can't use controllers properly. That's why it's called a disability cause you can't do everything.
It sucks yeah but you can't expect everything to be designed to be able to be used by everyone with every different kind of disability. It's simply unrealistic.

As in, the dashboard beta from last month? If so, damn, no free goodies for me. =P
I've convinced myself that as soon as Child of Eden comes out, I am getting myself one of these things. That game is going to be like an acid trip.
