At first I thought it was another camera, but given the way it projects light and actually tries to capture 3D space with 2 cameras, I have to give it some respect.

As far as using no controller, I can't think of a better way than to try to emulate the human sense of spacial awareness. Of course, the Wii has superior motion sensing via handheld devices. The Wii lacks in how the camera works due to it relying on a stationary IR light source, while the Kinect processes image data from a stationary point and sees the entire room. Combine the Accelerometers and Gyros of the Wii Remote with the stereoscopic image capture of the Kinect and it'd be great.

But this is just hardware talk. All this means nothing if developers just throw wagglin stuff at consumers.

PS: PS Move is a little of both, fails to be superior in any way, as a sum of its parts, or the parts themselves.

Thank you.

Seriously, people. Don't just talk trash without know what the actual possibilities are. Homebrew for this thing can be absolutely amazing, and I'm really expecting something amazing to come someday. I know, I know. Current lineup is crap apart from Dance Central. But the technology is just... it's got so many possibilities. I really hope they dedicate more time to games for this.

I can't get past the shiny balls reflecting on my screen when it comes to the PS Move, and so far, I've tried every game that makes use of it, VASTLY prefering the Wiimote Plus in terms of detecting and response (although I haven't tried Killzone 3 yet, and if it makes use of double analog plus remote aim, I might DIE OUT OF JIZZING).

The only real problem with the Kinect is the amount of room you need in front of you. Otherwise, its application have far greater reach than just gaming.

Exactly. Still wanna see some good games for it though.

Yap.

Man, I miss expansion packs so much. Waiting for Brood War was so much cooler than waiting for the second full-priced part of the main game I still don't completely own to come out a few years later.

Tardigrades. They are the weirdest living things I know of at this point. They'd be awesome if they weren't so ugly.

Awww, so cute~ Now I wanna cosplay a Tardigrade. Too bad I don't cosplay.

So do you build computers for people, or do you have enough disposable income to get a new pc every few months?

I have to admit, no matter how crazy I aim for, I can't seem to choose Intel and Nvidia hardware. Even though the price would go up by about 5,000 USD. I'm just not familiar with them enough to determine which is better. A major temptation with these sorts of builds is to just choose the most expensive parts. But, in the case of RAM, it was a set of 2 2GB RAMs. Obvious problem there. Although, I do throw in some superfluous spending by getting 2 sets of 2 4GB RAMs instead of a set of 4(I get 2 fan thingies that way!). And mathematically, a 6th SSD would cost more than a BD Drive, but I had to have an optical drive. Luckily it was a BDXL-R, so that filled the requirement for excess. I'm not even sure those NICs even work for "standard internetting stuff". For all I know it uses a special protocol not meant for LAN/WAN at all. Originally the build had 2 Workstation GPUs and 2 Gaming GPUs, with the excuse that, "They could be swapped out," but I decided I had to decide on one. I sided with the theme of excess. The specs were lower in some areas, but my badly done research showed the Workstation cards had a lot more power for accurate rendering, dispite having a lower clockspeed and slightly lower OGL version. My previous attempt at this assumed that having a set if SSDs and a set of insanely priced HDDs was sufficiently excessive. In this build I got as many PCI-e SSDs as would fill the remaining PCI-e slots and then filled up the SATA connectors with the most expensive SSDs for SATA. I might have done some slight quality comparisons among the top most expensive SSDs and sacrificed price for quality. If I really wanted to, I could have got PCI-e SATA adapters and filled those up, or even PCI SATA adapters. But I already had 7 SSDs totaling 5.25TB. No need beating a dead horse, plus, buying those NICs I wasn't even sure would perform the function I assumed they would perform seemed to have priority.

tl;dr
This is a totally awesome build, but you could probably lower some specs and save about 10,000 USD.

If you think I, or anybody else, would actually pay for that setup, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.

This is more towards something I'd pay for.

That still looks pretty sexy. Of course, my knowledge of the inner workings of computers is limited at best, but it still looks pretty cool by my book.
