Bah! I slept on my decision to grab the sensor for £80 and when I got back from work it wasn't available anymore

Next best deal?

Fr0dders · 21 Feb 2011 at 00:19

is about £99 from the same supermarket

Alternatively another supermarket are doing it for £150 including 2 games + kinect adventures. £25 a kinect game is pretty cheap.

Psymonkee · 21 Feb 2011 at 02:20

the £150 deal - is that instore only?

Fr0dders · 21 Feb 2011 at 07:09

Not sure if the deal is still going, but i did see it instore when i got my shopping from Sainsburys a few weeks back.

So my 4GB slim + Kinect + Kinect Adventures is en route (£191, bargain!) and using my expertzone account, I have shortlisted the following games at £14 a pop:

Kinectimals (for the missus)
Dance Central
Kinect Sports

Is your shape the best of the current fitness crop? Also, is Lips as good as Singstar?

Cheers

In a word, no, but it isn't bad either, there is more choice on singstar, plus singstar records you iirc wheras singstar doesn't. other than that they are about equal.

In the Microsoft Expertzone Rewards section if you have training 2000 points to spend (and I have 10k)

Makes sense, Sony has all the music links, Microsoft doesn't.

Your Shape makes better use of Kinect and has a wider range of types of exercise including Yoga but I find EA Sports Active 2 the better fitness program and the most intense. Both are good though.

I've played a lot of Lips with my wife and we have all 4 discs and a load of dlc. Singstar definately has more songs but Lips isn't bad.

Crown TV mount Cost just under £8.

Shamikebab · 26 Feb 2011 at 15:59

Think I prefer my blob of blu tack

Tell you what; online Kinect Sports table tennis is brilliant!

That is all.

Kinect Sales Surpass Ten Million

Following one of the biggest launches in consumer electronics history, Kinect for Xbox 360 continued its momentum in 2011, reaching 10 million Kinect sensors sold worldwide to date. Not only were sensor sales an overwhelming success, but Kinect drove significant game sales with more than 10 million standalone Kinect games sold worldwide to date.

In a nod to the recent sales success of Kinect, Guinness World Records has officially named Kinect for Xbox 360 the fastest-selling consumer electronics device, which sold an average of 133,333 units per day for a total of eight million units in its first 60 days between November 4, 2010 and January 3, 2011. The record confirmation comes just after the latest release of the Guinness World Records 2011 Gameris Edition, which features dedicated sections to Kinect.

"The sales figures here speak for themselves," said Gaz Deaves, Gaming Editor for Guinness World Records. "According to independent research, no other consumer electronics device sold faster within a 60-day time span, which is an incredible achievement considering the strength of the sector."

hopefully we'll get some new games soon then......

My Mum's been talking about getting the Wii Fit, but I have a 360 I rarely use.

Is Kinect - Your Shape Evolved or any of the other Kinect fitness games better than the Wii Fit?

Cheers

I'd say so. There's the EA one too which is meant to be good. Dance Central she might like as well - can be quite a workout. Some of the sports ones too. And the Adventures game.

MoNkEyMiKeY · 6 Apr 2011 at 19:52

I've just started using ea sports active 2 as I got it from that game shop for £25. Its got its quirks with tracking and randomly pausing. But it does a very good job of working up a sweat. Some people say it has problems with the floor workouts but I haven't had any problems. But you obviously need the space. Its got a good warm up then varied workouts and a cool down.
