Hi,
Can't decide which to buy either a wii or a Kinect. I already have an xbox 360.

How reliable is the kinect?

Kinect, Just Dance 3 is a lot more better on the Kinect because you dont have the Wii controller in your hand.

Wii is more comparable to Playstation Move, if anything.

If you already have Xbox then just get the Kinect, it's a smaller paperweoght

Hi,
I was all set to buy a Kinect until I read a few reviews that it causes the xbox to "red ring of death"

First time I've heard of this.

Did that review then go on to recommend you buy a PS3 & Move kit by chance?

Same here, I think the whole world and its motion tracked dog would have known about this had it even a modicum of truth in it.

So far I've tried the Wii and Kinect, unfortunately Sony is a swear word in my vocabulary so I haven't had the opportunity to try the move kit yet.
Out of Wii and Kinect, I like Kinects interactivity but Wii's active playing area appears to be a lot more compact compared to the Kinect.

Swings and roundabouts really.

I find the Kinect tracking and response to be way more accurate than that of the Wii

Kinect is good but the play area is a bit of a bind, it's not compatible with coffee tables for a start.
