The Guideworks software is terrible enough. The problems that TFA mentions of unresponsiveness doesn't just affect the Microsoft boxes. It happens just as frequently using Guideworks. I can't think of a time where my set top box from Comcast ever operated how it was supposed to. It constantly freezes, forgets to record things, or locks up when it is recording. Had my set top replaced 3 times, and it still does it.
If you know an item is $50.00 in value, and you bid $100.00, then you have to expect to possibly pay that amount. It's simple. If you don't want to pay $100.00 for a $50.00 item, don't bid $100.00!
I haven't tried it yet. Although I am enthusiastic about trying a new type of control system, I would hate for it to feel like "work" to play games. I can see where some games would benefit from the control system, but games such as Zelda may be a pain to play for a long period of time using the motion control. Do these games REQUIRE you to use the motion features, or can you use the controller, or even another controller type, the normal way I am used to?
