with telstra clear, a 30MB video would take 30minutes to upload.
Now they upload within a matter of minutes.

Now they upload within a matter of minutes. Thats not an answer. Figures ? Again, download/upload speeds depend on your plan.

1150688 2010-11-08 23:19:00 Having tried it, I wouldn't buy it because it's more for the casual gamer--the kind of thing you bust out when you're drinking with some friends. It's pretty cool though. Siobhan Keogh (16063)

1150691 2010-11-09 00:22:00 Pored over reviews for this thing as I've been deliberating long and hard about whether to get it at launch or not . Or even go for the PS3 with Move . Ironically I also have a Wii that isn't used alot anymore as well .

Must have read about 20 reviews in the last week that have been published since its North American launch on November 4 . It certainly doesnt appear to be the wunder motion gaming platform that it's been touted by Microsoft as being (at this point in time anyway) but the potential is obviously there .

Several reviewers have commented on the simplified nature of launch titles and minor lag issues - in Joy Ride for example you can't brake or accelerate because you have no wand with buttons - all you can do is steer with your hands . There's even speculation that Microsoft will end up adding a handheld controller/wand to it to widen the interaction with the game .

Menu navigation via hand signals and/or voice recognition is also (apparently) a mixed bag The amount of floor space that you need to properly use it as also been commented on .

I have one paid up on pre-order and will get it but I'm a little disappointed that it appears to be an "immature" product (in terms of the technology and capability) at launch .

The potential looks fantastic but how long it takes to reach that potential and whether Microsoft will wholeheartedly support it for that long is a vexed issue .
