Comment on Kinect by Microsoft Keeps You Entertained Hands Freeparent

The dance game is a pretty ridiculous amount of fun, assuming you like these sorts of things at all. The casual gamer appeal that made the Wii a success is pretty immediately obvious when you see it in action, and they definitely nailed the technology.

That said, the $150 price tag seems a bit steep ($400 with a console). Early sales do look pretty strong, but I'm not entirely convinced this will get more people to buy a 360, especially if they already have a Wii gathering dust.

Personally I'm most interested in the hacks people will inevitably come up with that take advantage of the technology in different contexts.
