    I may at some point, just have to wait and see how it fairs after it's been out for a while and see how good the games are. Not to mention the price still needs to come down on it before I'll consider buying.

    I probably won't, I have the MOVE {still waiting on my 2nd unit for NewEgg } which is pretty cool. Along with the Wii, I should be good, for awhile anyway.

    Have you tried The Shoot for Move? It is actually pretty good. I will need the gun attachment though... hopefully they will release a package with the game and the attachment at a discounted price.

    Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm going to buy one. I bet I would look ridiculous...all 250lbs of my moving around in front of my tv.

    I'm also not sure I have at least 6 feet of space between where I would use the kinect, and where it would be placed, plus I would have to move the coffee table every time I wnated to use it, so it seems like it would be more of a hassle than it's really worth with my current room layout.

    I have tried the demo that came with the Move, it was pretty fun and maybe worth a purchase.

    Move needs 8ft for most of the "activity" games. My coffee table was already moved behind the couch

    I'll pick one up eventually, but I'm happy to wait it out for now.
