I'm having a real hard time pulling the trigger on Kinect or Move. My brain is telling me no but tech side is saying "adopt early!"

Just don't know..

We did get some details on some Kinect games coming out of Japan back at TGS. Beyond these we know there's hybrid games in the works (360 controller + Kinect), Star Wars, Child of Eden, Forza 4 will support it, EA Sports Active 2.0, UFC Trainer, and Dance Central 2 is in pre-production.

I like the sound of that list of games.

I was saying no but weak willpower and just finding kinect cool got me in...I used the "adopt early" excuse as well, since there aren't a ton of games out yet.

Move doesn't hook me much cause I have a Wii and it's basically the same thing...I don't need another similar thing laying around not being used, at least Kinect is something different that may or may not get used lol

I may pull the trigger for move if Dead Space 2 (w/Extraction) uses it. However, both Kinect and Move are lacking anything that makes me feel like the purchase is justified. Kinect is worse for me since I own the Eyetoy and would only need the Move "wand" (or whatever it is) @$50. Also the space needed for Kinect wont work out right now.

I understand the urge to buy it though. I saw one at Target on Tue and the kid in me wanted it badly. New toy...neat...

I'm in exact same boat as I also already have the camera. I keep saying "just go pick up a couple wands and the sports game....

What scares me most about Kinect is the range of games that will use it. I'm mainly sports and RPG's.... I just see the move as being adapted to those games easier and more often.
Then there's The Show if it used Move...

If The Show used move Sony would have to sell extended warranties on a user's TV cause you know a bunch of people are going to hurl that fastball right into the screen. I would like to see a game like Oblivion use the Move/Kinect system.

Yeah, yeah, blame it on the wife. You know you want to rock out this game.
