I remember when Sony fanboys suggested that PS3 was a better value because you didn't have to go buy a wireless adapter or a wireless controller, or a rechargeable battery pack or Xbox Live. PS3 was a package deal that took "value" to "a whole new level".
Now, when talking about the multiple Move wands, the Nav controllers, the camera... that argument just vanishes and suddenly "choice" is important again, while the $150 buy-it-once Kinect i...

Then try to tell me Eye or Eyetoy can do anything Kinect can do... without your pants bursting into flames.
One man's fact is another person's reason to laugh at your ignorance and arrogance.
Ha. Ha.
You kidding? That's pretty much guaranteed that he'll get a 360 too. I don't want to sound like I was a brat (I lived down getting a bad power rangers knockoff from my grandmother without so much as a whimper), but this is like a free ticket.
Move + FPS = Conduit.
Seriously, if you want to claim Move is going to revolutionize FPS, fine...
How?
I'll give you 1:100 odds that everyone goes back to the controllers where it matters rather than the exact same "point at the edge of the screen to turn" awkward game play we've seen on Wii.
@DelbertGrady: And I started avoiding Sony movies after the David Manning incident.
Wait a second... this is par for the course already. MS can already monitor your voice communication with a headset, and with the update, the kinect mics can replace the headset...
@inveni0: Since you put it that way, they could have been under pressure from Homeland Security do include this for their purposes.
That's a matter of opinion. If you are militantly anti-ad, the XBM's minimalist presentation is great.
The Kinect hub? Sure. It only makes sense that you have what's essentially a touch interface...
At first I thought it said "singing" controllers...
I really... REALLY don't care what the dash looks like as long as it's functional, and Microsoft delivers three or more different ways to do just about everything on the dash, just like Word or Windows.
Personally, I'm looking forward to getting my Kinect and using voice to navigate. "Xbox, Last.fm".
Now, I want Microsoft to let me stop prefixing with "Xbox" and start with "Jarvis".
Yay... counterhype.
The guy actually said something nice about Move, and it wasn't as backhanded as it could have been.
Honestly, Move and Kinect aren't competing in the same way. Move is going to be so much more accurate and capable in more core games, where Kinect offers a pile of off-the-shelf tech tied together with some kickass research and software.
They are both worthy in my mind. I'm going to get Move for Time Crisis at some point. But my wife demands Kine...
Then you haven't seen Larry Hyrb's grin.
Wait... not shit-eating... just down's syndrome-ish.
Agreed 100%... same way they refuse to accept that it's more than a webcam with a tilt motor, or that it can do what the Eye can't.
"a glass screen surface will likely be what replaces these two items"
Agreed probably. But for the time being, why can't we see a future where mouse, keyboard, air-gesture, surface-gesture, and voice recognition tech all exists side by side? I mean... look at the display and interface they were pitching for Tony Stark's playroom. Why not that?
One MINIgame reviewed by one pint-sized gamer while their older cousin whispers in her ear about how stupid it is.
Sure.... it's "unbiased".
I agree with this argument. I find Achievements less about collecting thousands upon thousands of gamerscore and more about exploring the individual games.
Of course, there is satisfaction of pushing over a certain level... but that's not the only satisfaction.
I love PS3 fanboys. Everything is a Microsoft conspiracy, from Halo's popularity to Kinect's secret 5 minute lag.
Love this.
Mere hours until the counter-hypers choke on their own words.
