The new system abandons the joystick controller and relies on the movement of your body to play jump, dodge, and kick your way through exciting adventure games. It uses four microphones and three video lenses to locate your body. The setup is fairly simple. Once it scans your body to identify your height and facial features, you’re off and running.
The 250GB bundle comes complete with the Xbox 360 console, matching black controller and headset, built-in Wi-Fi for easy connection to Xbox LIVE and Kinect Adventures. A game set in a variety of exotic locations.
Get off the couch and into the game with Kinect for Xbox.
