MS should put up some kind of big prize for the person that can make the coolest game related hack, going by what's been done so far, they'd have some amazing submissions.

Avatar Kinect at CES 2011.


"delivered over Xbox LIVE, [that] will allow Kinect owners to interact with each other using their avatars. The avatars will have a separate area, much like Nintendo's Mii channel, that will allow for users to control them using Kinect and interact to watch content or play games."

[Brodie]

Slightly off topic, but is just me that hates the word "content" when used in this context?

I know it's a catch-all for various things, but for some reason it really irritates me...

Just another thing to add to my ever growing list of strange foibles probably >_<

awesome

So the new features for Kinect are

Avatar Kinect and Kinect Support for Hulu Plus and Netflix.

Where's my dashboard support aye?
A kinect marketplace would of been nicer.

Avatar Kinect is a chat area where you can chat with friends and Kinect can Recognise facial gestures such as smiling or raising an eyebrow. Videos of chat can be exported to Facebook.

I got Dance Central game and are there any kinetic game worth keeping an eye on in next few months. Bearing in the mind I won't be able to use it often due to size of room.

Perfect if you have a slim 360 and want Kinect a bit cheaper, not so good if you have phat console and have to pay MS ?23 for a power supply.
