Default 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.

KJ recoup some of your spend, by selling the Wi and games (seperately) if they don't use it now

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!!
