Nemo Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 i just love it how the total cost (including ALL accessories) became so significant for move while before ps3's price drop the same bots would not even acknowledge when if someone included the price for batteries, wifi etc in a 360 cost.

ayush12ice Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 the new 360 is kinect compatible, n we don't need a power supply. the older 360s need external power supply n probably a usb cable. the cables would be different for the new n old 360s, would MS give both of them in the same package?

I think so.....or there'll be two types of kinect packages available.....one for the new 360 and another for the older! But this design change with the new 360 accessories is really frustrating for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 I do a facepalm everytime someone argues that Kinect is too expensive at 150$. A full MOVE set costs $100 for bundle + sidecontroller $30. That's excluding the additional $50 for the charging kit and the gun peripheral, were looked pointless and stupid.So that's $130, for 1 player. Some games may even need TWO move controllers (the $50 ones), if that PR Kevin Butler pulling a bowstring ad is actually real at all. Compare that to Kinect. $150, that's it. Boom. You're set. For the rest of its life. Support for upto 4 players. Capable of recording your OWN 3d video when 3d comes to xbox. That also means 3d video chat. And Kinect makes you look silly?

TRMNTR Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 The Day Kinectimals Works I was starting fresh, so my little tiger was new to me and me to it. Standing in front of a Kinect and a TV running the Kinectimals, I tried to name my tiger, as I was prompted to do by directions on the screen. But Kinect's mic didn't like my voice, or the game didn't, or my clear enunciation wasn't clear enough. Whatever the case, it didn't accept the first name I tried to give it, nor the second. Each time the cat shook it off and the game told me the animal didn't like my name. So I went with Skittles, the name that had been used in an earlier stage demonstration of the game for press. Hmmm. Past the voice-detecting problems, the body-detecting was much better. In Nintendogs, you scratch at the puppy's belly and wait for the dog to do tricks that you then hope it will re-learn the more times you bark some voice commands. In Kinectimals, you jump in front of the TV; your pet tiger jumps. You stand on one leg; it tries to stand on one leg. That feels good. You can also extend your arms toward the TV and air-pet your little tiger, which doesn't feel as good as scratching the neck scruff of a Nintendog with your stylus, but the Kinectimal reacts so happily on the screen that you don't mind. I can't tell if cooing at the tiger cub while you do this is detected by the Kinect or if it is just detected by the people around you who surely must think you are a sap. As with Nintendogs, you can bring your animal to some challenges. I brought him to an obstacle course. When I ran in place, he ran through the course. When he needed to skid to a stop, I stopped. When he needed to duck, I ducked. I wasn't reacting. I was controlling, based on what I could tell he needed to do. It's an odd thing. jumping in a room so that a virtual tiger cub can jump a hurdle. It's one of those things that in calmer moments you might wonder is really better than a button-press. Well, with a button-press it would be boring. With Kinect and graphics that make that tiger cub look so real and so cute, it's not boring... it's heart-melting. The thing is too adorable and I made it jump. Good, Skittles! Too bad you didn't let me call you your real name. Kinectimals is cute enough. Its voice commands just need to work well enough. If Frontier can get them functioning well, then this will be one of the most magical demonstrations of Kinect's engaging tech on the platform this fall.

TRMNTR Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Does that mean old 360 users will have to buy the power supply unit extra? I don't think so. AFAIK, it needs to be powered from an external source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColorCodePurple Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 you are talking about M$ here! It hasn't been officially announced yet. Sensibly speaking one thing a company avoids is bad press. Imagine this you go to a vegetable seller and ask him the price,he will always list the highest price,thats where you start bargaining. Also if I am M$ and I think my Natal is worth more than 150$ will I risk bad Press by quoting the lower price first? that would be stupid. StrategyA:List it as 200$ and then announce official price to be 150$ those who pre-ordered get 50$ back ^ That way you get good press and happy customer Strategy B:List price as 100$,and open pre-orders raise the price to 150$ and demand that extra 50$ from customers You dont have to be a genius to know which strategy is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
