James, shouldn't there be sufficient advertising similar to MoveModo's? I was only aware the site was active a few hours ago.

Like this you mean?

I was referring more to the ads we saw under the recent forum topics.

You'll notice we've taken the Movemodo ones off whilst we advertise our exclusive competitions. When the competitions are over I'm sure we'll bring adverts back.

@James.... you are a busy man my friend You have a job outside of NL,Movemodo and Kinectaku as well dont you?

Yes, I have a job and a wife

Busy man indeed. You do a great job keeping it all together

Can't wait to read the first batch of reviews for Kinect launch titles! Even if they all turn out to be meh games (maybe) they should be interesting as least.

I'm going hands-on (as it were) with Kinect later today. I've already had experience with it but I want to see if it's just as good outside of that very controlled environment. Should be good!

@James: I'm really interested in hearing Kinectaku's impressions of Kinect. I was considering picking one up but I'm not so sure about it anymore. The first batch of reviews of the Kinect sensor have not been very positive.

UPS just sent me an email saying my Kinect will be delivered today. I'm excited to see what it can do.

That sounds awesome Corbie. I hope that it turns out to be good. The biggest concern that I have is that supposedly the Kinect requires a very large area in order to operate properly. Unfortunately, I don't think that I will have enough space to accommodate the Kinect.

That's one thing I might have to adjust for. My game room is longer than it is wide, so I've currently only got about 5 feet between my HDTV and the desk. I'm gonna see how it goes, but I might have to re-arrange the desk area to give me some extra room.

This is exactly the problem I have. My xbox is set up in my bonus room and the room has a very bizarre shape to it. I may have to reconfigure everything so I have enough room and don't bump my head on the ceiling.
