I am an expensive controller.

It's not about the games. It's not about how much fun you'll have.

It's about making people THINK they'll have fun. Their marketing department is great at that!

Edit: Ok, Mr. Disagree. Let me hear YOUR take on it.

I just vomited in my mouth and my vomit vomited.

now they are targeting the fetus audience.
the games are crap but hey at least you can be the controller, weeeeeeeeeeeeeee

no real in game footage.i suppose its a good thing too from a business point of view. theyll want to sell alot before people realise their is not much in terms of gameplay

You are the controller, and Microsoft you as a company are a JOKE in the eyes of the informed, the sane and the gaming industry.

If MS sell 3M of these... I fear for the future of humanity.

"you are the controller"

lmao pathetic...

Notice how none of the ads metioned anything about the 149.99$ price tag.

Notice how every location has a lot of room for Kinect.

who has a room with that much spare space in it?
I don't know about you guys, but i don't have the room to jump around like a prat - not with things like, furniture taking up all the room lol

notice all the PS3 fanboys :/

guys it's good to have competition!

it seems odd and unnatural to play games without a controller in your hands. that's just my opinion.

Sony fan boys are turning out to be idiots and I myself enjoy competition with the banter going back and forth, but it's like you guys have nothing to say of any importance.

Learn how to market number 1, this is just an ad to make people say "what is that?", it will build buzz for people who aren't on gaming sites, you know parents who watch tv with there kids? For the last time Microsoft are not idiots.

The next wave of commercials will go more into detail, more gameplay and a release date, maybe sony should of did this instead of a move commercial just thrown out there which is why most people have wrote it off as a wii clone.

These commercials are short and sweet, the kind a kid sees and call his mom or dad but by the time they get there it went off, so now you got this kid waiting all day for it to come back on and they wont shut up about it, I was 10 I been there. This thing will be a monster, microsoft knows exactly what it's doing. The marketing will be bigger than reaches everyone will know come november 4th how much it cost and what games they want.

Last but not least is $150 really alot? I mean the move is what $100, over the next year you will have bought at least 2 more controllers, a sub controller and a charger dock that's a easy $100 right there. I'm getting the bundle so I'm only paying a $100 and that's it forever. No extra bs. Stop complaining about price, Kinect is doing something right if it constantly has sony fan boys on there threads lol, which is making all the sweeter as this thing will outsell move 5:1 guaranteed.

All cringe-worthy advertisements- What has become of consoles these days? Let the casuals have their Wii: Don't go ruining out PS3's and 360's with your motion controls, proper controllers for life (call me oldfashioned..)! M$ in particular are the most money-hungry, it seems they don't care about their true fans, they just care about the Greenbacks!

even tho kinectimals is very silly and childish you know it is going to sell like hotcakes cause kids will want it.....juts like how eye pet sold on ps3 very silly and childish but it is sold out in my area

What up with all the hating on Kinect? If you dont like the look of it, don't buy it. If you buy it and are dissapointed, bring it back to the store and get your money back. 99% of the people hating on Kinect in these posts, haven't even tried it. Truth is, no matter how much you dis on Kinect, there is going to be a large group of folks buying it because it suits their needs. If you are crying because you think companies are going to stop making shooters and other hard core games because of Kinect, you are nieve. MS doesn't have billions of dollars in the bank because they ignored the people through the years. They will give the public whatever it is willing to pay for, including Kinect. If you dont want, then don't buy it. Meanwhile, I will get it for my family, and when I'm done jumping around with the kids, I will kick back and play shooters again. It's all about something for everyone. That is business, and thats how companies stay on top.

M$ really needs their own Kevin Butler.

Well I pre-ordered Kinect because my kids (age 6 and 4) and wife think it will be fun (I am sure I will have some fun with it), but the move is what I will mainly be playing... I love Sports Champions and Tiger Woods with the move,,, I realize Kinect can not compete with the level of control the move offers, but I am sure my kids will love the idea of thinking they are controlling a raft... we will see- the Kinect has not sold me, but it is working on my family,,,,

unfortunately it will sell.

anyone who says their a gamer and pics this up, you can immediately ignore anything they say or post. It's kind of like a liar detector.

I own Kinect and I love it, I think it's a day 1 purchase, you should get it. Nose gets bigger.

If I walk into anyone's home with it, I will turn around and walk right out.

I do not know about you guys.

But I think Kinect will fall flat on its face.

I think the reason they only showed some gameplay and more of the people was to make people curious. People are not going to watch a tv ad, get up and go to the store to spend $150. They will get some people with these ads, probably not people like us, but there is definitely a market.

This just in, people are stupid. I don't know what to get my kid for Christmas, well I saw that Kinect add and it looked loads of fun. They need to really market this thing as a drunken party goers device and a kids can play to price. No controller means no breaking things except with your body and its gonna sell better than move. Sadly this could mean death of hardcore gaming because the casual is where the money is. They just need t boast that all games are needed to have a fun experience while nintendo couldn't do that as well. I think the PS3 has the best tech thats no doubt. But it doesn't matter cause it's just for hardcore gamers not so much anyone else.

money well wasted

I suppose.....

these games are family friendly...
its being released during the holiday season...
where you spend more time with your family...

tadah!

they arent showing any footage of the games..I mean really, soda commercials have to show the can and someone drinking

fast food commercials, the food is always open and whole (uneaten). but no footage of the games that you are playing?

These ads remind me of something similar...oh, that's right...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

showing the people's actions and not the gameplay has been done before. Granted, they'd be hard pressed to promote it otherwise, so meh.

The hate here is a little disturbing. Clearly MS is not targeting people who read N4G. I dont plan on picking up kinect, but my god dont u people have better things then troll to people who will never read your comments.

Well, it's pretty much like the Wii ads => casual gamers.

These TV ads leave much to be desired, although I wouldn't consider them to be terrible, merely uninspired. The "You are the controller" tag doesn't light a fire under me, and I think I'm probably one of the few who actually felt annoyed by all the happy people waving their hands and jumping around. I should probably see a therapist now.
