[Official] Kinect - Over 4 million units sold!


Recommended Posts

The funny thing is, we already have seen videos that show that twisting your hand (because Kinect does indeed detect your and and the twists involved with it) does put a spin on the bowling ball. rofl.gif

Care to actually show me these videos then?

So, what do you guys think the odds of me getting a Kinect are if I just show up at Wal-Mart at midnight without a preorder? Would I be wasting my time or do I have a legitimate chance of getting one?

I'm trying wal-mart at midnight or the local sam's club when they open.

Well does it sound like fun to you?

I don't know what it sounds like. but I know it's fun..

speaking of that, now that it's launched. I wonder if the games will show up when I play them. or if I need the officially released games/demos for that.

I'll have to try that tomorrow and see if they pop up on my gamercard.

You are not getting Kinect, you run an illegal Xbox, pirate 360 games and you don't even give my your Gamertag....so no, I am not doing **** for you...because you don't care.

His gamertag is ... Hold on to your hat, this will blow you away - audioboxer

I don't need it to sound fun. Because it was fun when I played it. I don't know if I'd buy Kinect or anything so I'm certainly not saying it's perfect, but it was just as fun as Wii bowling.

What does any of that have to do with these videos you speak of but for absolutely no apparent reason won't post?

Because I dont feel like searching for them again, even though they have been posted before....for someone who doesn't CARE.

Wal-mart had 'em. Got Kinect along with Your Shape and Sports. Unforuntaly I misjudged the amount of room I had (short by about a foot), so tomoroow morning I'll mess with adjusting everything. What I was able to do, it's nice, fast no lag that I saw. Granted could be different when playing a game, but alas that has to wait till morning.

Make sure you mount the kinect above the TV if you're short on room.

Ya, few people probably know that they can gain some space if they mount it up higher off the ground.

The line for #Kinect at Toys R Us in Times Square is now over 3 blocks long.

Well the reviews I am reading real quick while at work, while not really negative, are not really all that positive either.

Performance

Detects motions with precision, but there can be noticeable delay between the player and the screen.

At launch, Kinect merits a visit to your friend's house if you hear he or she has it. But it's not must-own yet, more like must-eventually own.

It's not even a sure thing as a games platform, not until it has its first great game. But it doesn't have to be. If Kinect becomes nothing more than a replacement for the TV remote, it'll prove to be a winner. For its launch price, though, it needs to be more. If Microsoft keeps supporting it, and if its flaws can be patched and improved through software, Kinect can be revolutionary.

That is just IGN and Kotaku. I know people have their opinions on all sites, but those are 2 I tend to agree with more often then not with reviews, even if I do not like their politics so to speak.

Basically it seems like the voice control is the most appealing aspect so far, and that the $150 price tag is just not worth it.

So I will sit back and wait, more then likely a very, very long time, and see if it ever becomes something worthy of a purchase.

Well you know. Midnight launches are dead, especially if it's not a big popular triple A Core game, And certainly Midnight launches are dead if it's a mere motion controller that doesn't cater to the core segment...

oh waiiiiit. :D

blink.gif Dat's a line.

Holy shi!!! Just when you think it ends, NOPE! It's funny how it has gaps due to shops not letting people block them so you think it's the end BUT IT'S NOT! :laugh:

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
