Ironically, those are some lazily produced videos.

I'm actually interested in Kinect and how it will perform but these are worse than some old Atari\NES commercials.

 

Even funnier if you mute the volume. They just look like a bunch of crazy people.

Poor babies. Can't handle anything that doesn't have graphic sex or violence or really crude humor.

I don't follow.

Wow, that is one lag tastic site. I never actually watched the videos, had enough troubles with the site, I'll try later, though the pics did look pretty funny.

 

Just like an old Atari commercial about the kids (and parrents) that were acting WAY to happy to be playing some unknown game (unless of course, they actually were adverting the game, and not just the system or name)

Yeah its kind of like that. I find it horrible to watch when they are holding the Atari joystick the wrong way, or sit there and button mash on a game of Atari Hangman or something. LOL

I remember seeing a really bad video of the Nintendo NES glove. I need to find that on youtube.....

A quote from the article in the first link:

The fact that Microsoft is being so sensitive about any sort of criticism towards the device is a major concern. Just like how film studios won’t hold a pre-screening for movies that is expected to tank, the video game industry operates exactly the same way.

 

So given that logic, Microsoft seems concerned that their Kinect device is going to tank big time, which is a possibility, but keeping people in the dark about the device's functional quality until release time seems like they're only concerned with their interests and not with their consumers.

Yes, thats what it looks like.

 

The whole thing is just disturbing though. Game publishers calling and threating people (bloggers) like this for example.

 

Sony\Capcom making some games online only without telling you AFTER you buy the game, or better yet subscribe and you "own" games until you unsubscribe.

 

Its just so bad.
