Oh how I'd love to Kinect my foot with your ass...

[Syriilord]

We still have quite a few 360/Kinect bundles and Kinect units for sale in my store.
















Wait, never mind. They're all gone again

Love the thread title! Definite channeling of Red Forman there.

I really pity everyone in retail right now. Sorry you're dealing with all those dumbasses.

That wasn't quite my intent but it works.

Reminds me of this exchange from the show:

Bob: If had mistletoe I'd kiss you.
Red: And if I had mistlefoot, it would be up your ass.

Would you happen to have a 250GB X-Box without Kinect? I've no interest in the latter, but I never knew how much room installing games takes (curse you, Final Fantasy XIII!!).

All this talk of Kinects makes me want to play with K'nex.

I never had K'nex as a kid... I think I'll get some tomorrow.

Yay! I wasn't the only one who thought of that! I loved those things.

We currently have one up on raffle at my Aid of Rite for the American Diabetes thing to drum up sales. It's actually not as popular as I thought it would be, mostly because it's kept on the cigarette case and too high up for msot people to see.

Allow about 4-5 gigs for most games; if a game spans multiple discs, assume ~7.1 gigs for all except the last one.

Back when this feature first came out, threads started popping up all over the place with install sizes, and more importantly, how much (or little) improvement to expect -- as a for instance of the latter, Halo 3's load times get *worse* when installed; as for the former, Tales of Vesperia and Lost Odyssey see quite impressive loading time improvements, especially before and after battles/encounters.

Here are a couple charts:

SC: Well, I'll just go to your competition then.

Where he will undoubtedly be told the same thing you told him.

[Elspeth]

and people think I am strange that I preorder games and equipment. Had the kinetc paid off and walked in and picked it up. Doing the same thing tomorrow with Cataylsm and Tron.

Why can't people plan. Everyone knew this was coming out, get it early and hide the dang thing.

Very sorry you are having to deal with the twits. *hands over sweet treat and drink of choice*

Still on the fence with getting a Kinect, but jeez people really get their heads up their asses with getting the latest and greatest stuff especially when it's sold out. Love the thread title, btw.

A friend of mine has one of these lovely little monstrosities ^_^

His GF has requested that he cover it with a towel when the system is off to keep it from following them around the room (which it does) and taking the odd snapshot (which it also does). They were a little creeped out by it at first -- it uses facial recognition, so one day she walked past the TV (while the xbox was on) and "Hello, <GF's name>" popped up as the kinect signed her profile in >_>

At my store both the standard at Kinect 250GB bundles have been in tight supply for a couple of months now.

So the 'Kinect nannycam' isn't an urban legend (I was telling dad about this; he didn't think it was possible).

Wait, what??

HAL, is that you??

[Andara Bledin]

... Halo 3's load times get *worse* when installed...

That's because Halo 3 was specifically coded to take advantage of everything the 360 could do with a game being read from disk, and they didn't really do much work to make it work from installation.

I plan to get a Kinect. But it will have to be sometime after I get a place to play one in. My current apartment is just far too tiny.

OK, I must be an old fogey. I read "K'nex" and translate it to Kleenex, and wonder what the fuss is about.
