xbox kinect - worth the money??
I bought one last week as a bit of an impulse purchase and was just wondering what your thoughts were on it. My kids are 5,8 and 11 and hardly ever use their Wii anymore and I thought they'd enjoy kinect, but Santas cash flow is limited and it's a large sum that could be spent on other things.
So what d'ya reckon? A must for every family, or an expensive gadget that will be forgotten by the end of January? Thanks xx |

I don't think it will ever be the same as holding a controller.

Yep, you hit the nail on the head there
KJ recoup some of your spend, by selling the Wi and games (seperately) if they don't use it now What games you got for the Wii

Re: xbox kinect - worth the money??
Hmm... I dont think they'd appreciate me getting rid of the Wii, even though they dont often use it. If I did and they didnt get on with kinect then they'd be left with nothing to play on. (and my baby loves Mario)
I was kinda hoping someone would pop up and tell me how fab kinect is!! |
