I've bought dance revolution and kinect sports. Should think both would still give a good workout and be fun for one and all.

just load up Kinect Sports and starting from the left of the on screen menu, do every sport across to the right and you should feel like you have done a very good workout and had fun with it.

Now christmas day is here I finally have my 250gb and kinect. I now realise playing dance, I actually can't dance. Kinect adventures is ok for a free game. Kinect sports is very good, one roundof track and field and I was knackered. Been having a good laugh.

i got one for my lil sister for xmas,thing is its having some problems setting it up,its about 5 foot from tv and sat underneath,but the problem is when she stands, infront and calibrate it ,the legs are going all wierd like look all folded up on the calibration screen,but it calibrates ,but when your playing the joy ride the onscreen hand thing is all over the place,on the calibration screen it says 6-12 foot or summit thats abit of a joke,not many people have huge living rooms or bedrooms with that much room

got a kinect by surprise from my wife, can't believe how accurate it is, makes you think about the future of games differently.
Also way prefer not having a controller in my hands.
Only got Kinect Adventures so far and played a plug the holes one, the rafting one and the tennis style bouncy ball one - love the rafting one great fun! looking forward to see what other adventures are on there.

A rival has this on sale for today only at £109.99. Used some of my points and a voucher I had laying around to bring it under the ton.

my boys unwrapped their Halo LE slim xbox360 and Kinnect and we had a great time with that rafting game and plug the holes in the underwater cage one and then on Dance Central which was good fun.
2 rivals are selling it for that price, one of them you can used a code to take £10 off. Thankfully Ive managed to order my for £95.
Loving it so far, in all honestly it's very much the entertainment it provides in a group, don't think I'd play it on my own. Kinect adventures is ok, however kinect sports is extremely good. Might pick up dance central at some point

Having an absolute blast with Adventures and Sports. Football is surprisingly fun. And my family have been constantly going "how does it do that??"

Kinect Spacing requirement question..
I got a Kinect for Christmas and a good 8ft, between the sensor and where my bed ends. & without about 13ft on the sides (in other words my total playing space). On Kinect Adventures, which is my only game so far, it only allows me to play one player. I HAVE to have the sensor above the TV, otherwise it blocks my IR sensor to control the TV.
Anyway, if it's saying its not enough room for two players on Kinect Adventures, am I safe to assume that'll be the case for other titles?
It seems kind of dumb to keep it, if I can only ever play one player. I can't re-arrange any furniture, as this is my king sized bed. TBH my bedroom is pretty big, and everything is distanced about right, so i was a little disapointed that its putting me in the 'good' and not perfect playing enviroment. I don't seem to have many other mounting options.
Anyway, will this be the same for all other titles? i.e only one player? I like the technology otherwise.

Any chance you can mount it higher? We were having the same trouble in my tiny living room but I've managed to put it at about 7ft high and it's perfect now.
Not ideal but until my dining room is sorted and the boys can have the xbox in there it will do.
Soldato
Well there's a foot between the wall and the back of the TV, I probably could wall mount it, but then I'm worried the top of the TV will block the floor angles out as I approach the TV. Unless I go real high ?
Any recommendations?
