Kinect is way different than a Ps2 EyeToy. it is capable of much more. For example the Kinect is able to detect body motion full 3d.
Buying new videogames and the newest systems costs to much $ for for the average person viewin this video. It’s true Microsoft is givin away a tons of the upcoming Xbox Kinect as you may have seen on the Kinect fb page. Heres the link to their give away page

I think all three companys should work together for one game to put all there best characters in like super smash brother but past the limitation of just nintendo imagine Cole vs Alex, Snake vs Master Chief, Pikachu vs Kratos, just one bad ass ultimate tournoment fighter then once we get our game we can stop working together and go back to hating everyone who doesnt favor our console the most, thumbs up if you agree
