I think for non HC gamers or wanna be's like my brother it wouldn't be our cup of tea... But who knows I might be totally wrong when he opens it and sets it up.

I'm more on the hardcore side of gaming, and I think the Wii is kinda' clown-shoes ridiculous... but I set Kinect up last night and played a bit of Kinect Adventures with a friend over Live, and it was a blast! It's amazing how well the motion tracking works.

I agree that it's a bit clunky for the dashboard itself, mostly because we're all so used to zipping in and out of stuff with the controller. That said, I did find myself using the voice commands for stuff... and I had so much fun with the pack-in game that I drove to Gamestop and picked up Kinect Sports. Bowling and Table Tennis totally make this worth having, and I see myself playing that more than anything.

So yeah... a cool bit of tech... but I think they're just scraping the tip of the iceberg with the current batch of games. Bring on Steel Batallion!

So I played a bit of Kinet adventures and it was pretty fun. People say ohh these games are not challenging but try racket ridge level 4 OMG that was so hard and I'm fealing tired my legs are so sore. Also after we mounted the kinet above the tv we noticed we had less space issues for some reason.

I played Kinect Adventures last night...it was a blast. My 3-year-old daughter was also having fun just mimicking my on-screen avatar. I liked using the Kinect Hub and voice commands...unfortunately, my daughter would repeat the voice commands and confuse the system (ended up starting a video trailer when I was trying to open the disc tray); had to get her to stop.

I'm definitely going to pick up some new games today: Kinectimals (for my daughter), Dance Central (for my wife) and Kinect Sports (for me). Good job, Microsoft.

Oh yeah, to the OP...Netflix Kinect support will be added in an upcoming update. What's currently available in the Kinect Hub is only the beginning.

FYI: There are demos for Joy Ride, Dance Central and Your Fitness on the Adventures disc. I played like 15 seconds of Dance Central before I realized... yeah... not for me.
