In case you haven't heard, the Xbox 360 Kinect is finally available on store shelves. But as with any product with the marketing build up Kinect received, you may have to search not just for the best deal but also just to find the product itself. Microsoft had been working on this project for over a year with promises of a new way to experience of interactive gaming. So now that it's here, should you buy a Xbox 360 Kinect?

Hopefully there will be some information here that will help you make that decision. To start if you are a serious gamer, this may not be what you are looking for. If you are a casual gamer, or you are looking for way to get your whole family involved and be more active, then this may be just the answer for you.

Although if you are reading this, you probably already know what Kinects is but if not, it is basically a webcam type add-on for your Xbox gaming console. If you want more information you may want to read Buy Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect At Discount Prices.

This interactive, wireless add-on sees the players in 3D and works with infrared technology that not only picks up the players movements but also has a microphone for voice recognition commands. The only wires will be where it plugs into your Xbox 360 via a USB connection.

If you already own an Xbox 360 console, you can buy a Kinect that is bundled with a free game, "Kinects Adventure." If you don't already have an Xbox 360 console, you can buy a Xbox 360 Kinect bundle that could actually be a great deal. There are a few choices available that might include different console specifications just depending on what your needs are. With the popularity of Kinect, you may have to look to Ebay to find the best deals.Great deals can even be found on an Xbox 360 custom case. They have a little of it all, the stand alone Kinect, the Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle and even the games available for the new Kinect.

The Kinect has been compared to the Wii remote but with more advanced technology. Anytime you can get your whole family involved in an interactive game, it is a good thing. Besides getting everyone involved, it is entertainment you can do at home, right in your own living room. I think it is a great alternative to watching your kids sitting, staring at a game on the computer. So this one gets my vote makes it a resounding Yes on "Should You Buy a Xbox 360 Kinect."

Thanks Eddy2106 for stopping by, I was hoping this would spur some talk about people's view of the Wii. I had thought we would go with a Wii but I am now undecided. I like the thought of no wires though.
