Okay, so I've had it for a few days now. First of all, it is TIRING! I don't know if I'm really out of shape or what, but I can only play for about ten minutes at a time. My shoulders are killing me.
I've promised myself I will only play the kinect from now on - no video games sitting on my butt. It's only been a few days, but it seems to be working. I still have the urge to play computer games, but knowing that I have the kinect is enough to stop me -- even though I am too tired to play it most of the time.
It's definitely first gen software. You spend a fair amount of time standing around, waiting for it to process your position, and if you move at all during that time, it will completely misread your movements. Like, you'll wave your hand, and it shows your avatar attempting a summersault. It also resets every time you use it and the navigation is confusing.
Overall though... I love it. There's one game where you can fly by flapping your arms, and it's ridiculously fun. Also, the little bits of intense exercise seem to improve my mood quite a bit. I feel like I can take on the world after I've used it.
I'll keep posting and let you guys know how I feel about it after I've played on it some more.
