Junk. And apparently also racist.

No kidding. The camera in the playstation eye is 120 fps and double the resolution of the Kinect. Also the Kinect games are all on-rail games like arcade games

All of it is junk, lol. No "gamer" actually cares about waving their arms around to control shit on screen. The fact that all these companies have wasted money and development cycles to put this junk -- that will be forgotten a year from now -- out in the market is sad. I'd much rather MS put their money towards making systems which don't blow up, or something silly like that.

The Playstation Move is actually quite nice. I've used it on several games including MAG (a FPS) and find it to be as accurate, if not more accurate, as a mouse. I can get the crosshairs on to the target faster and get rounds in the target faster with the Move. The issue with Kinect is that the Xbox is obsolete. MS admitted that it had been maxed out 2 years ago. They are purely trying to extend the life cycle of a fading system that has been plagued by poor choices and problems. They chose HD-DVD instead of BluRay. Red Ring of Death. 35% failure rate. The fires started by the console when it first came out. And now a peripheral that aims to bring motion control to the console and give the user more choice. All it really does is give it a novelty aspect that will appeal to the very casual gamer (young kids). No one who seriously games will really want to sit there and play on-rail games or pet virtual tigers. I admit the technology aspect of it is incredible, but MS implemented it horribly wrong when they chose to use an incredibly cheap camera compared to their original choice which had the capability of tracking individual fingers. Not only that but Kinect requires a lot of room (8-10 feet) between you and the sensors. It is also very picky on what you have in your room. Sunlight literally renders you invisible to the motion tracker, so put thick dark curtains up, but make sure you have even lighting so the facial recognition works. Oh and any other IR sources in the room must be turned off. The remote for your TV will confuse it if a button is pressed on it. Sadly, the Kinect might very well be the end of this technology which could bring the computing from Minority Report to reality. Oh well, Sony has proven they make better choices. Precision motion controllers, BluRay, 3D BluRay, 3D games, integrated WiFi, free online play...

BluRay is not necessarily an asset, neither is 3D. BluRay has notably longer loading times than DVD does and 3D... well.. some people don't care about that gimmick either, haha.

BluRay is only one disk. HD-DVD is multiple disks. Plus Hollywood decided to go with BluRays for movies. I'd say that is an asset.

Not on a gaming system where lower seek times are desirable. But that's just me. Sony must not have played their cards all that well because the PS3 is making a relatively poor showing of itself.

I'd say its a asset for gaming system also seeing you can put more into your game using a blu-ray disk than dvd. Can you imagine how much better GTA would've been if it was ps3 exclusive? You would've had much more to do because they would've been able to fit more content onto the disk. I'll take the lower seek times in exchange for more content.

The HD-DVD drive reads faster on the outer edges of the disk and contains a lot less storage space with data transfer at 33 MB/S. Bluray reads at a constant 72 MB/S and has a lot more storage space. That means no disk switching. So the faster seek time of the HD-DVD is destroyed by its slower data transfer rate. Bluray also has data duplicated on the disk to artificially lower its seek time. But if you want just plain seek times. HD-DVD 160 ms on average and Bluray is 200 ms on average. 40 ms is nothing when then Bluray transfers data at more than double the rate of HD-DVD. Its like a car that does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds but only goes 120 mph versus a car that does 0-60 in 4 seconds but can do 180 mph. Which car is really going to finish the trip first?

An accessory CAN be "racist" if the developers intentionally set their settings to a certain point, which I wouldn't put past the people at Microsoft.

Mmmm... I really don't want to get in this... but I played the Kinect... well, don't know where the racist part is but its better then holding a dot so the PS3 can find me.

and if its racist, then Sony is a Dictatorship. Here is a Company that is not happy with a outside product running there stuff with out the SONY stamp on it; BluRay, BluRay is running off of a higher DVD format, and we all know that DVD was created by Philips, Sony, Toshiba and Time Warner back in 1995... and as long as Philips, Toshiba and Time Warner have the rights to the DVD formation, Sony can not keep the BluRay to them selves. Sony also has been trying to keep BluRay from Microsoft's Xbox, but Microsoft is not worried about it, not one bit because they are focusing on Full Download game options, not only saving on IR reader going out, but Cheaper then buying the Plastic Disk (Still to be a option)
