e3 day1 was good. i mainly wanted to know more about sony's 3d campaign and am now even more optimistic than before. i started dozing off when they started talking about the ps move and psp due to uninterest there. i did catch it lagging alot one time. the biggest surprise of the night for me was "twisted metal". the star wars game didn't do anything for me. i saw nothing new in it. looks like sw: galaxies, i game i severely disliked .
can't wait to see ms's presentation, i need to know if they're going into 3d or not, because if not, i may do the unthinkable: switch over to ps3.
and the N-3dsi has glassesless 3d? how's that work? holography?
all the other games gave me a regular feeling except for killzone 3. i got excited for that game. their machine guns looked so realistic it wasn't funny. and it's a blu ray 3d game.
and i needed ritalin after watching mvc3 gameplay. i almost had an epileptic sezure with all the flashy colors and disco lights, lol.. wth? it looks like someone was playing tvc and pressed fast forward.
and olivia "dunce" munn was acting just unbearably dumb throughout the whole thing. she was just a mess and all over the place. you can't get more cornier than her. but what can you expect from an unfunny dcik tease.

I'm not saying its a bad thing but to think Kinect will turn gaming into gimmick is wrong, in my opinion. It always have been.
well, I don't share your views. gaming opened up a whole new world for me. and even though its rarely done right, its not a gimmick.
Originally posted by rabidd909i agree with both of you, i think that MOST of the time its a gimmick. just because most games that come out are simply made to make money, so they come up with a new "gimmick" to get the people interested, even though a lot of times it ends up being not as good as it could have been, weather it be because of not wanting to put the time/money into it, or whatever, all those (which in my mind are like 70% of games...i don't play many games anymore): are the gimmicks. and then there are those special people who, make a game/new product, not JUST for money, that is the bottom line :/, but to make something great. these are few, but they are great 😄.

Microsoft Site Prices Kinect [Update]
Official site lists $149.99 price point.
Microsoft has listed the standalone Kinect kit at $149.99, going some way to confirming the price point that's cropped up across retail sites over the past week.A page on Microsoft's official store reveals the price point alongside a slew of technical specifications as well as listing what the $149.99 gets you. The pack includes the 640 x 480 camera as well as a wi-fi extension cable and a power supply cable. If you've less than 6 feet spare in your living room/gaming dungeon you need not apply as this is what's listed as required to get Kinect up and running.
Microsoft has been contacted to verify the listing and confirm how it'll translate to EU, UK and AU. Is $149.99 too much or is this in line with what you're willing to pay for Kinect? There's a comments field below: use it.
Update: Microsoft responded saying the price for Kinect is still not final.
no game bundled, too pricey
epic fail 😐
memory? what memory?
it's just the camera, not an xbox bundle
150$ for a dual VGA camera, that's all it is
...and you need 175mb of 360's HDD space to use it
btw:
I messed up the link (or didn't put a link at all 😄)

there's talk about a 199$ slim 360, though I haven't really seen anything about

Oh my bad, lol. I thought this was the 360 Slim thread.
Haha, I was like "150 for the Slim? That's good stuff!" But... no. 🙁
