By Gavin Mannion
November 3, 2010
in :  Gaming

[Update: No surprise here but Microsoft has slapped Gamesradar for breaking the embargo and the video is now down] So Kinect is being released in America today and the first hands on video I found was from the distinctly British, Gamesradar. It’s an interesting listen and basically to sum it up they are generally underwhelmed by the launch titles but …

Do you ever read the terms of service agreements that come with software, hardware and firmware updates? I know I don’t. I’m all too happy to scroll on to the end and click “yes.” One astute reader, liberty, took the time to read through the updated Xbox Live terms of service included with yesterday’s Xbox system update – and uncovered …

What the hell is THIS thing? I’ve looked around the internet to try and find some in-depth explanations but so far I’ve had no luck. It’s a calibration card that’s bundled with many of the Kinect titles that are launching alongside the new peripheral. It’s smiley! Is it meant to be? It looks as if it’s lulling us into a …

Remember last week, when Oprah gave away free Xbox 360’s with Kinect, causing a microcosm of mass hysteria? Because shilling your product on just one incredibly popular daytime television talk show isn’t enough, Microsoft have engaged in another bit of ingenious product placement that’s bound to stir up more Kinect interest. Or kill it. Whatever. This time, Kinect’s been showcased …

If one of our local retailers happens to break the street date for Kinect and it’s game (I’m looking at you, CNA!), and you take your shiny new peripheral home and try to play with it, it may just keep you off of live until the product becomes officially available. Upon inserting a Kinect game, you’re prompted to update – …

Greenberg : Playstation Move is a “Great Product”

By Geoffrey Tim
October 29, 2010
in :  Gaming
3

Normally, when Xbox product director Aaron Greenberg opens his mouth, it’s about how much better his stuff is, and his comments usually come across as exceptionally biased. That’s to be expected, considering his position at Microsoft. This time though, he’s managed some pretty balanced, reasonable comments about Sony’s Playstation Move – even calling it a “great product”  just a week …

First Kinect Review is in by mistake

By Gavin Mannion
October 29, 2010
in :  Gaming, Reviews
15

Mark Prigg writing for the Evening Standard in the UK has the dubious honour of being the person widely reported as having the first ever Kinect review published. The only problem is that all reviews are embargoed until the 4th of November (launch date) and as such the Evening Standard and Microsoft are now scrambling to assure everyone that this …

Kinect Feels The Oprah Effect – Sales Jump More Than Tom Cruise

By Nick De Bruyne
October 28, 2010
in :  Gaming

What can I say about Oprah… the lady loves making housewives rip out high pitched squeals the likes of which their husbands could only have wished they were responsible for. A short while back, Oprah featured the new Kinect system on her overly popular show, ending it off by dishing out a free Xbox 360 + Kinect bundle to every …
