  1. Kinect - Gathering In Junk Closets Everwhere on Kinect For Windows Releasing On February 1 · · Score: -1, Troll

    "I believe that the Kinect is going to do more to revolutionize computer interaction, gaming and functionality more than any invention since the second button on a mouse. They could price this at 500 dollars and I'd put down money that every retailer would blow through their inventory. At 250 dollars, not only will they put one on every computer inside of 2 and a half years, but they are laying down a foundation for young engineers, scientists, hackers and hobbyists to create a community with vast potential."

    LOL, did you actually just use the word 'innovation'???

    Kinect is a piece of junk clone of old webcam/Sony EyeToy style tech that has been around for many years made by a company that couldn't get Apple or Nintendo to buy their crap. Only Microsoft in their desperation was dumb enough to buy the piece of shit.

    Microsoft has spent 500 million dollars desperately hyping this piece of shit by paying anyone they could find to 'hack' this junk add-on and blog about it.

    The Kinect tech is so bad that both E3s Microsoft demoed the junk tech they were immediately caught by the gaming press for doing such a hilariously bad job at faking their 'amazing' demos.

    Kinect is the most hated add-on in the history of gaming. You can't even mention the device without gamers trashing it.

    Xbox 360 owners were desperate to buy anything for their last place console with Microsoft having closed down all but a tiny number of first party studios leaving the console with almost no exclusive games.
