This looks very promising, particularly considering who they've got involved.

779298 2009-06-03 01:12:00 Hmmm Interesting - kind of Wii but more advanced (no controllers to lose or go flat amoung other things) combined with voice recognition. Wont be cheap though I suspect. wainuitech (129)

MS traditionally excels at promising. The next stage is where it slips a bit ;)

The camera that you get will probably be expensive, Since the others will probably be Xbox updates

779301 2009-06-03 06:26:00 It sounds like a nice idea in theory, but in reality after doing a (brief) study on this at Uni on non-haptic multi-touch interfaces (Similar), I found there was quite limited uses to it, not to mention:
a) many people prefer to use classic controllers for the Wii
b) can you imagine how badly kids friends would interfere etc?

That said, if they can produce something similar to whats been shown, Im sure it'd be pretty cool , if expensive :)

779303 2009-06-04 01:07:00 Bugger that crap, when I game I want to slouch on the couch with a game pad. If I wanted to get up and do something then that is what I would do......go do something.

The most retarded thing I have seen yet is a damn Wii skateboard, ***, GO THE **** OUTSIDE AND GET ON A REAL ****ING SKATE BOARD, Its great fun, cheap, and healthy.
