    Woohoo! I love it as well.

    Next game you should get is Kinect Sports. You can burn some serious calories playing that game as well. Invest in a good Heart Rate Monitor sometime to help measure your calories.

    Have fun!

    "Santa" brought it for us this year and we can't get enough of playing. Kinect sports is incredible. My wife and I like volleyball and bowling the most. Have fun!!

    Totally agree! Kinect Sports is FUN and a great workout! My husband and I battled it out with some healthy boxing in the family room, and I kicked his butt and burned 600 calories in 50 minutes! I'd have to run on the treadmill for an hour to get that kinda calorie burn....The Kinect is WAY more fun and entertaining :)
    GREAT game to play with friends, too!

    I guess I need to invest in the Kinect! I hope it works on any old xbox 360....

    I was thinking about getting a Wii (Yes, we are behind the times) - then the 14 yo said we should get xbox with kinect instead - think I might go this route so the whole family can play and get active together on these cold Wisconsin nights - Thanks for pushing me in this direction

    Ever since I heard about the Kinect (back when it was Project Natal) I was amazed. I think there is a good chance that we will be picking one up once we get our taxes back this year. or maybe I'l just sell my Wii Fit and some other stuff.

    I used to love the Wii Fit but with a rowdy curious toddler running around it becomes a workout and a real test of balance just trying not to constantly kick or step on him while using it.

    Plus there was no setting for someone being pregnant and it told my wife that she was getting fat... so it has been in storage pretty much ever since.

    KINECT FTW!!!!!!!! I cannot say enough good about the Kinect. The kinect adventures is a blast. The game where you are on a cart. (Can't remember the name) All the jumping and side to side as well as the crouching really burns the calories. Santa brought Dance Central. We like it alot as well. Sports is getting purchased this weekend you've sold me on the sports now!

    I have the Wii and Wii Fit and EA Sports Active 2 (which I love) but my wife and I are looking into investing in a Xbox Kinect as well and I am really excited about that!

    We have loved playing with our Kinect since it was first released. Kinect Sports is a definite favorite, and when the in-laws came for Christmas, everybody was having fun with it - young and old. I picked up Your Shape: Fitness Evolved to help get back in shape a bit more (some of those Kinect Adventures challenges left me pretty winded). I still love my hardcore gaming, but Kinect has been a blast, and helps motivate me to get off the couch.
