IGN: Kinect seems like the lame donkey in the race.

How much is Kinect if you have the 360 Slim, and how much is it, if you have the regular 360? Is there even a difference?

$150 for everyone.

Wasn't there a rumor that a bundle would be hitting shelves this holiday season? I might need a new 360 soon because this one is kicking the bucket. I can't see myself buying a Kinect if it's not included. I really see this barely getting out of the gate for real. This would have been wonderful if it was available for the 360 when it initially came out. I just don't see how they think people will jump on this a million strong. It's too much and it's an add-on. Add-on's NEVER WORK!! If there is a successful add-on, please someone point me in that direction.......

I guess it depends on what you consider an add-on. The Eye camera that Move uses has been around forever now, so that's an add-on that has worked out fairly well. Also, The Wii Motion Plus could be considered an add-on, and that has been fine.

I agree with you that the majority of the time these things fail, but personally I view these less as add-ons, and more as extensions or options. I don't think either will be a huge success, but I also don't see either of them failing.

It doesn't seem like the lame donkey now. YouTube videos galore.

It's definitely selling like hot cakes... I believe IGN was referring to how well the actual motion tech itself worked, not how well it would sell.

I think the motion worked pretty darn good. As far as lighting issues we only have 1 60w overhead light and one window in our room and it works great. We did need to clear about 8-10 feet to get optimal settings for multiplayer, but luckily we had the room. I think for me anyways there will be more uses for the MOVE I'll get into, over the Kinect. In any case we love it.
