WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS ABOUT THE XBOX KINECT?

We were going buy the Kinect for my latest version of Xbox because the commericials seem like a lot of fun. However, I NEVER would camp out and stand on line to be the first. Most electronics introduced to consumers have a few bugs. I would like to hear all news good, bad or indifferent if you are a Kinect owner. Video chat reception? I know there are only a few games at the moment - but how do they perform? And problems with freezing etc., Thanks all

Update:

Yes, I heard you need a lot of space and when you look @ the commercials, you obviously need to be somewhere that you do not disturb people since you are running. I'm going to wait until there are more games. Someone also said you get bored after a while?

    Pros:

    No controller. Some people love the fact that this option is going to actually just use the sensations of your body and not rely on a controller at all. This seems to be the future of gaming.

    It uses a touchscreen. Another way-of-the-future design feature to give a thumbs up to this option.

    Also its direct audience is family's - so dont expect cod or halo :P

    To be honest i dont think there isnt any cons except from the choice of games for it but thats not really an issue :/

    Hope i helped :)

    The only problem o encountered with Kinect so far is that when you move your avatar on the screen takes about half a second to respond but other than that there arent any real problems.

    A pro would be that you get exercise. A con would be that you get tired lol!

    There are only cons. It's gay. It's ruining video games as we know it. Apparently.
