Earlier on today we’ve seen Kinect make some pretty huge public appearances in the US, followed up by news on the first published ‘review’ for the system, now thanks to GAME we have the first unboxing of a Kinect retail unit. For those of us who haven’t seen an actual Kinect unit yet, seeing it held in someone’s hands reveals just how big it is.
We’ve already heard how Microsoft have an incredible $500m in their war-chest set aside for promoting Kinect but as any retailer’s CEO will tell you, you can spend all the money you want on advertising but if the sales force doesn’t know what they’re talking about, the product won’t sell. Fortunately for GAME, on this evidence they are very clued up on every single aspect of Kinect, the chap in the video below could give a masterclass in explaining things simply and clearly to even the eldest of grandparents this Christmas.

He said his personal favourite was the fighting one because “they can’t hit back”. Maybe it’s just me, but that doesn’t sound very fun. At least with a controller in hand you get a bit of rumble feedback from your blows.

It’s so big it needs its own power cable!? Are Microsoft going to give some of that $500m to customers to pay for their leccie bills?
