XBOX 360 KINECT

The redesigned XBOX 360 was launched at twelve midnight in November 3rd of 2010 in Time Square. The new XBOX was different it came complete with a connector port ready for Kinect. On July 20, 2010, Microsoft announced a Kinect bundle with a redesigned Xbox 360, to be available with the Kinect launch The Kinect software is capable of automatically calibrating the sensor based on game-play and the player's physical environment, accommodating for the presence of furniture or other obstacles. "You are the controller" the advertisements boosted. If video gaming was not big before (and it was) it certainly would be for a whole new population. Adults were interested because the possibilities seemed endless. Watch yourself interact in the video game you control. Exercise, dance and learn on the new game pad at your own pace in your own home.

If you could not have fun with this alone or with friends you could not have fun. The only thing that may have stopped us later in our tracks was the software. Also would the XBOX nemesis Wii do something crazy and put a similar model of the interactive XBOX. Well I'm no expert in these matters but I hear things from eaves-dropping my kids now and then. I think that this rivalry is still going on. I believe the software is the hot disputed issue. The games and activities appeal to certain age groups. The sophisticates (my name for people who know all about the devices and games) continue to critique these items.

If you are just a novist like me I can imagine having fun with either one. The dance activities look fun and dancing is great exercise. The XBOX 360 Kinect reminds me of an electronic Twister (if you are younger than 30 you now have no idea what I'm talking about). Now that would be a game I'd pay to watch some of my male friends now attempt that (the ones who can beat their kids at the normal video games). You know because kids are more flexible and athletic. Well anyway some of these games are a workout and there are levels. You can start on a beginner level and work your way to more advanced skills. This applies to the exercise as well as the dancing sessions. There are levels to the games also.

At the absolute least everyone needs to try one of these devices. You may be surprised at how well you do. I remember seeing a golfing game that looked like it could improve ones skill on the course. You stood on the pad and your footing, posture and follow through on your swing had to be correct. This seemed like a great practice tool if you like to golf (which I do). However I am not sure which device the XBOX or the Wii had the game software.It seems like a lot of fun for a small investment. I do know that you can rent the games. This is an additional perk because you can try the game out and buy it only if you enjoy playing it. If that was not enough to make you jump off the couch to run and go buy one I saved the best thing for last. You can steam movies from Netflix. This is a wonderful thing especially if you get sick of watching the same movies over and over again on cable. Netflix has an endless variety of movies, documentaries, excercise videos, yoga instructioal videos and television series. The Television series have multiple seasons so you never have to wait months to see what happened. If there is a show you wished you had seen when it began, or missed a season then this would be your answer. Anyone who has not tried netflix does not know what they are missing. The documentaries alone are worth the price of admission but wait if you have the XBOX 360 Kinect there is no admission. You will be able to stream a varity of documentaries on a wide array of subjects.

 * 1) This hot ticket item is not your Oprah’s kindle. While you can still read a the vast library of books Kindle is known for you will be too busy exploring Kindle’s Fire features and counting the money you saved. It has all the, "got to haves" and has a touch screen. Is it better than the IPad 2? The answer is not really. These are two separate animals. The Kindel Fire is an andriod.

 * 2) The Kindle fire is has all the features people want in a tablet PC. The screen is admittedly smaller and so is the price.
