Lightsaber on? WTF

The input lag looks pretty bad on this Star Wars Kinect game.

Between Disneyland Adventures and Sesame Street, looks like they are finally capitalizing on the parents/kids market segment with Kinect.

I'll admit the Kinect stuff that is obviously for little kids is pretty cool. The disneyland thing. Object scanning. Little kids would love that probably.

OK, I like YouTube, but Bing?? Seriously, who gives a crap?

Yeah, I could do without Bing but I actually like YouTube being on there. Why pull out my laptop when I can pull it up on the TV instead?

Which makes sense. My nephew is 4 and the Wii remote gives him trouble, but moving his body and such seems like it'd be easier for him.

this should have just been called the Kinect Conference.

MS is trying to stretch another year of sales of the console itself. They are trying to tap into a different market. Every hardcore or regular gamer already has an Xbox if they were ever going to get one.

This conference has been horrible if you are an teenage/adult gamer.

Looks like HMX's E3 announcement is Dance Central 2 as I expected.
