Picked up an XBox Kinect yesterday

[ziggy]

But I'm keeping it boxed until Christmas so that I can give it to the kids.

Has anyone here purchased one yet? Was it fun? I can't wait to make a complete idiot of myself on Dance Central like this guy below.

That looks awesome. I kind of wish I had an Xbox to play that game. And sure he may look ridiculous, but he's having fun. I would have a blast mucking around on that thing.

Ziggy, I'm going to go ahead and guess that the Kinect is alright for the first year or so and then becomes bananas awesome after it's been in developers hands for a bit. Don't get me wrong: I'm sure it'll be a blast on Christmas morning and a great gift. But, I'm wondering if it will be limited at first to the amount of quality titles. A lot of the games so far look a bit gimmicky, like many of the terrible Wii titles that were just excused to wave the nun-chucks.

You're right about the game selection, there isn't a lot to choose from now, but supposedly there are a few really good ones coming over the next couple of months

Child of Eden looks like a serious acid trip, but its supposed to be big when it comes out
