Layher6 Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Thank you!! I gave in and ordered instead of waiting for target to get it back in stock.
elite2058 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Posted December 8, 2010 Your Welcome. Thanks for the tip on Amazon game deal. I want dance party for New Years Eve for the whole family. I heard the sports is good too. Have you guys heard if these are good?
barbpol Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Thanks! I didn't know what else to get for ds and was afraid I wouldn't get this before Christmas
twinmom Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 WhoooHooo - my mother-in-law is ordering it now! Thanks!
kellane26 Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Thanks! I had pre-ordered through Microsoft and was able to cancel and save a few bucks (minus an extra game of course, but that's what Christmas cash is for).
hotdogfirst1 Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Sold Out. I had it in my cart and was checking out, and I was to late.
law Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Was just on amazon, its currently in stock for the same price ($149.99): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BSA298/ref=s9_pop_co_ir03?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=left-5&pf_rd_r=1D741RBR4HAA40CNBQPC&pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_p=1280572542&pf_rd_i=typ01

Kibit13 Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) Before you buy the Kinect, make sure you have enough space in the room where you will have this set up. Many of the games will tell you how much space you should have, but I've been hearing from friends that they aren't all accurate. It won't be an issue for everyone, but for people with smaller living areas the Kinect could be difficult if not impossible to use. We had a Wii and didn't have problems with it, but when we tried to play a friends Kinect one weekend at our home. It wouldn't work. Microsoft suggests 36 sq feet for 1 person and 48 sq feet for two. This Popsci article recommends 48 sq feet for 1 person and 60 sq feet for two. Um..wow! From the Popsci article Microsoft suggests a space of six feet by six feet in front of the Kinect sensor for one player, and eight feet by six feet for two players(The Kinect can currently only handle two players at once, though that'll probably change in the future.) In my experience, those numbers are the bare minimum--for comfortable and spacious play, I'd recommend eight-by-six for one player and ten-by-six for two players. Get ready to shove your couch backwards and haul your coffee table into the kitchen--it's a necessary evil of playing Kinect. http://www.popsci.com/gadgets/article/2010-11/how-set-your-living-room-microsoft-kinect http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20021679-1.html http://dvice.com/archives/2010/10/why-you-need-so.php We've been wanting to get the Kinect ever since we first heard of Project Natal, but we just don't have the room unless we move every piece of furniture out of our living room. It just isn't possible. Edited December 8, 2010 by Kibit13
Deal Grabber Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Thanks so much!!!!! I really wanted one of these for my family.Now I am off to amazon I hope the still have buy one get one free + that $10 code when you spend $75:gdrunner: Which games are buy one get one free and whats the $10 off code?Thxs
racerfan Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Which games are buy one get one free and whats the $10 off code?Thxs I don't know about buy 1 get 1 free. I know Amazon has the Kinect games right now for Buy 1 get 1 50% off. Have not heard about a $10 off.
mysschevous Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 $10 off is a deal for Prime members when purchasing with Mastercard. :)
mrn8 Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Thanks for the heads up. Got my order in at Amazon before they sold out!
hack2222 Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Toys R US has the best deal on the kinect, YMMV though. DO NOT CALL ABOUT THE DEAL. IF you call only ask about the stock of the kinect. The deal is that Toys R US has their Buy One get one 50% off sale going on and it works for the kinect. Total is $225. GL

mysschevous Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 OMG! I just got back from Toys R Us. I had to go to 2 stores to get it, but I got the deal. And my MIL works for them so I got an additional 10% off. So... 2 Kinects for $215.00 after tax! Woohoo! Thanks for posting the TRU deal Hack!

hotdogfirst1 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Thanks, I was able to get one from Amazom this morning, should be here by friday.
ksmith442 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I was unable to find one yesterday online but I just ordered one this morning from bestbuy.com for 149.99 and free shipping.
elite2058 Posted December 9, 2010 Author Posted December 9, 2010 wtg all who got one and keep trying those who didn't. They go on and off online quite a bit.Amazon when available:http://www.amazon.com/Kinect-Sensor-Adventures-Xbox-360/dp/B002BSA298/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1291910578&sr=8-1 Bestbuy.com when available: (currently available)http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Microsoft+-+Kinect+for+Xbox+360/1036858.p?id=1218212157998&skuId=1036858&st=kinect%20sensor&cp=1&lp=3
kkpt Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Don't forget to check your local Sam's Club....I got mine from them yesterday $148.88. The website shows "out of stock" but I called the local store and they got in 6 of them - OMG!!!!! I ask the lady to do a fax & pull to make sure that I got one....she was super nice and didn't have a problem doing it.
reereejones Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I called my local Toys R Us yesterday they didn't have any. I went after work they had them in stock. I was happy!! As I was checking out the clerk told me about the promotion buy 1 get 1 50% and it would work with the connect purchase. So I purchase another XBOX controller the wireless rechargable kind it came down to $24.99. The sale ends 12/11/2010.
Layher6 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Well now I own four Kinects. I ordered two from Best Buy yesterday, which will come later this week. After reading the above thread I went to TRU on a whim and they finally got in Kinect after being sold out for weeks. I was able to buy one and get the other one half off! So happy! I will now have to return the Best Buy ones but I'm sure it will make someone very happy.
