Feedback -- Kinect Edition

First of all, thanks for waiting patiently. We know you like Feedback as early as we can get it to you, but this was one of those rare instances where our hands were tied by outside forces. Namely, the all-seeing, all-knowing, Hal-esque eye of Kinect. But now that it's midnight on the East Coast, LET FEEDBACK RING!

Also, we did some nifty stuff with this episode, like finally figuring out how the ginormous control board can route an outside call right into our ears (and yours), so we were able to have Adam call in from the steps of the Supreme Court in Washington D.C. after the violent video game hearings. Pretty cool stuff. We promise to only use this technology for (mostly) good.

Here's your handy, non-motion controlled guide to what we talked about:

• A woman in Florida kills her son while playing the ultra-violent game Farmville. Wait, what?!
• Minecraft  p asses over 500,000 copies sold, and over 1.6 million users registered. Not bad for a game that's still in alpha! Thinking about diving in? Check out Steve "Crafty" Johnson's Minecraft tutorial before you do.
• PlayStation Phone photos surface. Do you want it? Do you care? Are too many games in your pocket right now? Wait, you do have a phone in there, right?
• Microsoft buys the motion sensing / 3D firm Canesta. Are they shutting down the competition? Or trying to make Kinect self-aware?
• Oh, and of course, a huge discussion about Kinect. What did we think about it? How are the launch titles? Listen and find out.

Feedback: Where when the controller ends up being us, we're definitely going to need a new set of batteries.
