LOL, I think Microsoft is losing it.

Once there, hundreds of audience members, all wearing the white silky robes, milled about the floor of the arena until the show started. In one corner, a family sat on a sofa suspended about 50 feet in the air.
Declaring that “history is about to be rewritten,” the show started off with Cirque acrobats, dressed prehistorically, forming a procession with Japanese taiko drums beating in the background. Then a boy rode in on what appeared to be a mechanical elephant with a screen on the side.
While the event was short on news, Microsoft did unveil a new name — Kinect — for Project Natal, the motion technology that lets users play videogames and interact with the Xbox 360 console with gestures and spoken commands.

So long as they continue to make games that don't utilise it I'm happy. It's when I start having to play COD with an imaginary gun that I'll get annoyed.

Another monumentally lame concept from the massed intelligence at Microsoft. It's just like the Wii but too late and done wrong.
Watching Microsoft's death throes as they try to discover some, any!, form of relevance is now becoming a slightly grubby experience.

I thought it was a great idea, and the way in which they are utilizing it will greatly broaden the customer base for XBox 360's.
And I'm with aanderton on the game thing. Just cause it's there doesn't mean you have to include it!

Well done Microsoft, history is about to be rewritten.
i.e. Nintendo did this ages ago, can we pay someone enough to make that not true?

I suspect that removing one more barrier to the violence (the controller) and having kids actually mime the violent actions required for some games will only serve to further screw up the more maladjusted ones. I'm no bleeding heart and enjoy violent games myself, however, one does wonder.
