@dowingba: So, you play games, not systems. Does it make sense to hate systems, not games?

@rymas1: The difference is that "data" is encoded in the dot pattern. The location of a dot relative to another dot has data built into it. Look how the dot array isn't perfectly regular.

@Ad134: I know... he's my new idol.

@Ad134: I certainly wish you luck. My advice: make indie games. But don't expect the big names to bankroll your project for a market that's harder and harder to get money out of.

Highly Confidential Fail.

@Tate O'Malley: Yes.... because ignorant fanboys are sniping at a technology before it has a chance to do mature. I was as skeptical as anyone else until I demoed Kinect myself and determined, this was the real thing.

@thePrototype: It's shying away from the issue before it's even an issue. That's the danger of the situation. Artists eventually react reflexively before anyone actually takes offense.

I thought we had gotten over this kind of crap. Suddenly we are backpedaling on every significant free speech issue in the last three months.

That. Is brilliant.

@Ad134: This is happening. Make your peace with it. The sooner you make peace with it, the sooner we can be an under-appreciated market segment and get our core games back. In the meantime, enjoy it rather than being an obstructionist bozo.

@MrNose - FOR THE CHICKEN!!!: Having used both devices... I disagree 100%. Your fact is an opinion. And in my opinion, your opinion is wrong.

@SPAAAACE PIIIIIIIIIMP!!!: You nailed it with millions of little dots.

@dowingba: I've just spent the last 2 hours of my 1 hour lunch break (working from home) playing Rallyball... the frigging Ricochet tech demo... and I NEVER got the kind of accuracy from Eye or Eyetoy I'm getting from Kinect.

@Bard of Awen: You would think. But those pinpricks are a bit like the LiveScribe smart pen paper. Their position relative to each other gives the camera more data about where it actually is.

Look at this.

@Brian Crecente: Double embargo? Is the date the embargo released also embargoed, or it is based on Tokyo time :-)

To the DLC!

I've got an evidently gargantuan amount of space in front of my TV; 12 feet once I move the coffee table. And that seems just right for my 55 inch TV.
