4.0 out of 5 stars You know what it actually works!, 11 Nov 2010
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Xbox 360 250GB Console with Kinect Sensor: Includes Kinect Adventures (Video Game)
Both the 360S and Kinect work extremely well. I did have a number of patches to install before everything was hunky dory and the recover gamertag in particular took an age.

Patches and more Patches - Before you can use all the functionality you will have to download them and before you can use the Xbox itself you will need to wait for it to update itself. I did mine through an ethernet connection so do not have any experience on what dramas may befall somebody who needs to have a valid Wifi connected. Last FM, Sky, Zune, Kinect, Video Kinect and so on all need to be updated but not necessarily at the same time but you will certainly spend some time watching the progress bar.

Kinect - This was very impressive and the first time you see yourselves on screen is a bizarre but very enjoyable moment and a bit like a chewing a fruit pastille I defy anyone not to start jigging about at this point and chuckling to oneself.

Kinect Adventures included in the box. Lots of fun but nothing groundbreaking but definately eases you into the idea of Kinect very well. I think it would of been better to have Kinect Sports in the box.

Also on the Kinect adventures disk are demos of Joyride, Dance Central and Fitness evolved. The fitness evolved demo is very limited but the Dance Central and Joyride demos are both good.

One interesting point is how you interact with the games. With the Microsoft stuff it is hover wait for the ring to select, Dance Central uses the swipe mechanism. This is definately faster but also prone to accidental selection. On balance though I think I prefer the swipe method even with the potential accidental selection. Fitness evovled used a shorter selection time with a move to another button this also worked better then the long wait for the ring to select the function.

Video Kinect is another application which you get with Kinect and it is actually rather good. I used it to call my daughter via her MSN account. The audio quality is excellent and the video quality is good but smears with the slightest movement. The Kinect sensor tracks you and auto zooms which is actualy pretty cool as well. We like Kinect Video and will use this over Skype.

Lastly floor space. To play two player games you will need to have a good 7 to 8 foot between you and the Kinect sensor. For anything other than 2 player 6 foot will be fine. You mitigate this I suspect by positioning the sensor higher up maybe on a wall mount above and behind the telly if you have that type of set up. Space is a concern though and you should spend a little time ensuring you can rearrange the room to accomodate it. I suspect most people will be OK but with some of the funny shaped living rooms in the UK this will definately be a show stopper for some.

All in all I am very happy with my purchase and only dock it the star due to space constraints and the odd niggle navigating.

4.0 out of 5 stars Xbox 360 250gb + Kinect Review - Value for Money or Will It Gather Dust?, 11 Nov 2010
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Xbox 360 250GB Console with Kinect Sensor: Includes Kinect Adventures (Video Game)
As an existing owner of an older xbox 360 I wanted the new slim one anyway since it's meant to be "whisper quiet" instead of the hoover like properties of the old one that negated ever using it as any kind of media centre as MS would like you to believe.

Review of Xbox Slim (250GB):
-----------------------
Overall, I really like the new version - it's definitely quieter but NOT whisper quiet - especially when turning a disc. Install the game to the Hard drive (hence why I got the 250gb one) and it's a lot lot better. You can still hear it though when playing you don't notice. When playing a DVD and there is a quiet moment I do notice it - though barely - more than my old Sony DVD player this xbox is also replacing!

I like the new front panel touch sensitive areas though when messing around with the cables at the back I have turned it on and open the tray by accident - it's that sensitive.

Since my old DVD player what an cheap upscaling one with a HDMI connection and because I already had an Apple TV using the other HDMI I have always used the XBOX with component outputs - good enough but not quite as good as HDMI I am led to believe. So, with getting rid of the DVD player and using the xbox instead (as it's just about quiet enough now) I can use the HDMI and that is better. OVerall, it's a lot better connected at the back and also includes an internal wireless N network adaptor which is better than spending
