DDR3? Based on everything I've read by the countless hardware experts on gaming forums, that fact alone makes this thing DOA.

Excel. Niiiiice :D

Came here to post EXACTLY THE SAME DAMN THING!

This seems to grind against all other experiences I've read by various independent sources at Gamescom and PAX who say it works exactly how the original Kinect should have worked.

What they're seeing is that while Sony did have a competitive advantage, the Xbox One product as it will be at launch is now very much on a par with the PS4 - better in a lot of respects, including launch lineup. Since Sony don't have much that's now a…
