Do you find your Kinect a thing of continued entertainment or was it a great idea and fun to start with but you soon grew bored of it.
My daughter has suggested that it would be a good idea to get a Kinect and my wife has agreed that it might be a good idea.
Game has some good Kinect bundles at reasonable prices so I'm not put off by the price - my worry is whether it will be short-lived fun.
To give you some idea of background
Daughter 13 - likes the idea of the dance games but also some of the other games. But she is not usually a gamer - we have an XBox360 and a Wii which she hardly touches. She mostly plays Sims3 on her laptop.
Mother - doesn't play games but likes the idea of fitness stuff like Zumba and maybe the dnace games. However, she has similar and the fitness board on the Wii and doesn't touch them.
Me - I like XBox and PC gaming, mostly FPS, RTS, RPG and strategy. I wouldn't buy a Kinect for me but wouldn't mind playing the odd sports or zombie game.
Son (17) - XBox and PC gaming (mostly FPS and RPG). Again not that bothered by the Kinect but would be happy to play the zombie game or Forza 4.
The big advantage of the XBox over the Wii is that it is in the Lounge compared with the Loft room - and has the better TV.
So what do you think - is it going to be all fun and excitement on Christmas Day and bored by New Years Day or will it get continued use.
Cheers,
Nigel
