Microsft Unveils Kinect, Formerly Project Natal

Kinect launches tonight at Midnight on the East Coast, and to celebrate, Microsoft is giving early adopters a $150 gift. The first 3,000 people to line up and purchase Kinect at the official launch party at Toys “R” Us Times Square will receive a free copy of Kinect Sports and Kinect Joy Ride, along with a one-year Xbox LIVE Gold subscription.

People are already lined up, New York gamers. Check out this picture tweeted by Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg:

That picture was taken last night, too, so you know there are many more people now. So get out there and get in line, people... if you want a Kinect.

But speaking of waiting in long lines, there's a chance that the Kinect will be this Christmas season's "must have" toy, with the lines, and outrageous eBay prices that brings with it. What do you guys think? Are we going to see a Kinect rush this holiday season?

    I like how people think that having a promotion is something no one else does. It's a great marketing move by Microsoft. What about Target having a buy 2 games get 1 free deal this week. Are they bribing people?

    I think these guys are waisting their time, The line doesn't form until 6:00p.m. So when I arrive I will head straight to the front of everybody to get my place in line, and if they don't like it then they can kiss my shrinkta ring.

    Question: Do you think these guys went to their voting locations first to actually do SOMETHING constructive with their lives?

    Kinect is going to be the must buy toy because of the "OMG mommy you don't need a controller!!" effect on kids. Ya in my book that is now a medical term.

    Wow, are they seriously bribing people to buy a Kinect? Are they worried it'll suck?

    Yea... I don't see Kinect as something worth standing in the NYC cold all day for.

    I think I'd do it to get Skullomania in MvC3 though...
