I bought this Xbox 360 with Kinect for Christmas (for the kids). It was really easy to set up and we had it working in no time. I am no gamer but I did have a go at the included Kinect Adventures and enjoyed it - it takes photos of you as you play but I turned it off - don't really want to show and tell. It took a while for me to get the hang of waving at the sensor. On the two player option we struggle with room as it is in the kids playroom rather than our sitting room - it doesn't always recognise sideways movement. The other games we have are Joy Ride and Sonic Free Riders - the kids enjoy them more. Joy Ride is not really like driving as you pull back or push to accelerate and brake. I have Your Shape but I found it a bit bossy - I can't always lift my arms as it tells me due to an injury. If you have plenty of room the Kinect is good but we can only ever have 2 players in the space available.
