Kinect: Is it good enough to get?

Kinect is the new release from Microsoft for the Xbox 360.  It is a new twist as it 'Takes the controller out of your hands' by allowing you to make a physical movement and it appear on screen.

"Kinect works using an RGB camera, depth sensor, multi-array microphone and a custom processor running proprietary software.The camera looks for your body, locks onto it, measures the three-dimensional positioning of 48 key joints in your anatomy and ignores everything else. Simple.  So you can forget about the annoyances of poor lighting or furniture messing up the image calibration, which was perhaps the greatest disappointment with Sony's PlayStation Eye technology.  It also supports up to four players, so once you've bought it, you won't need to upgrade or buy multiple versions of the device."-Techradar.com

There’s no denying that Kinect is a fascinating piece of technology that has the potential to help continue the evolution of gaming into new and exciting frontiers.  The retirement of the standard controller is inevitable, so other ideas such as Kinect look promising but in my view Kinect simply isn’t ready for prime time right out of the box. Right now there aren't many games out that work with Kinect.  Playing some staple games of the Xbox 360 such as Halo or Call of Duty would be a more exciting turn of events that a buyer like me would be very interested in.  Perhaps in the near future, we’ll see some more games come out for it and some software improvements but only time will tell.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

Kk, so Call of Duty: Black Ops is gonna come out :D
Tomorrow.  Well, technically, today, 11:59 PM.  You can get copies for Xbox, Ps3, Nintendo Ds, and Wii.
So if you're asking there's normal/regular edition, Hardened edition and Prestige edtion.  The regular edition, which is just the game costs $59.99 at Future Shop & Best Buy, but if you want it a bit cheaper; if you're just so asian fob-wash like that :), you can go to Wal-Mart or Zellers and get it for $59.83.  Hardened edition is $20.00 more expensive at $79.99 (The Wal-mart/Zellers 16¢ cheaper rule still aplies, even for Prestige), is a good buy, for it includes, the game, 4 extra playable bonus maps for co-op, PSN/Xbox Live theme and avatar outfit, plus a Black Ops collectors medal.  Prestige, which is quite expensive, and not all that worth it, is $149.99, including everything in the Hardened edition, plus a RC-XD Surveillance Vehicle, designed after a vehicle in the game.  When it says 'surveillance' I'm not sure if it has video capabilities, because, if not $70.00 range from the Hardened edtion would not be worth it, unless you're a hardcore collector, who has that money to spend ^.^.  Also, here's a tip: You asian? Fob? Love free stuff? Collector?
If you're any of those you'll want to goto Future Shop.  Tonight.  At Best Buy, it's first 90 customers get a hat.  Future Shop it's Black Ops Limited dog tags for first 50 in line, Intec® Camo styled headset and Blu-ray Rescue Dawn, for the first 25 people who get any version of Black Ops.  And anyone in the first hundred to get a copy of Black Ops also gets a bonus map for gameplay.  So this would work better, if you have a Ps3; since you can watch the Blu-ray movie.  Also, the best deal here would be the hardened edition, with 5 bonus maps in total, if you're one of the first hundred to get a copy.
