So this supports sign language then?!? Mr Tumble will be pleased.

Apparently didnt make it in this revision. Oh well.

Worringly, on Giantbombcast this week they say you need at least 13 ft of space!? Counts me out all together.

[Jebus]

I'd imagine that counts out a ****load of people.

However, that was mentioned in relation to that particular game. 6 feet is the official distance required.

I sign and I think it'll never happen. Sign differs depending on which country you are in. America mainly uses one hand to sign while over here we use two. Then you have all the other European countries on top of that. The other problem with sign language is like in dialect- you have regional differences. So you end up having same signs with different meanings depending where you are from. I heard also about the possibility of Natal being able to lip read. Hmm, a lot of words have the same lip pattern such as paper and baby, so again I think this will not happen.
By the way Mr Tumble uses Makaton not British Sign Language

Ah, apparently Kinect uses the range 3ish to 11ft... So can't even see further than 11ft! Me thinks they were kidding.

I know, was only joking

Has anybody on here been invited into the Kinect beta? It's probably old news, but I've only just read about it.

[Neon Ignition]

Most sites are now reporting that MS has announced that Kinect will launch on Wednesday 10 November, one day after the hype bomb that is Black Ops. Aiming for a different market or not... that's bad timing and generally a poor choice of release date. Still, I'm sure Kinectimals has what it takes to convince those ten year olds to pay a total of ?170 over COD's price tag.

CoD Vs. Kinectimals? No contest.

CoD Vs. the genius that is Dance Central? That's a tougher call.

[ChrisF]

oops, wrong thread.

So with the online price drop yesterday to £115 do we still expect another drop after Christmas or will it simply become Kinect without a bundled game?

I'm asking as I'm the bloke that brought the HD-DVD drive

[ChrisF]

Does seem to be dropping closer and closer to £100 doesn't it.

Fear not - I think a few of us on here bought the HD-DVD drive! At full price!

Guilty!

[Jebus]

Yup me too, still use it as well!

Kinect for £100 and I'm in.

Do you read me MS...you want a sale then make it £100 with game.
