Off-topic, but just thought I'd mention that the movie controls in Kinect are voice activated, not gesture controlled (yet).

Also, as awesome as the concept seemed from the moment they announced it (back when it was still known as Project Natal), a few early testing by the likes CNET showed that its motion detection is a little hit-or-miss.

Still a great idea, though. And they might iron out the kinks by the time it's officially on sale.
