The Kinnect hardware is fine, new and old, check out some of the non-gaming Kinnect videos on YouTube.
And the voice recognition is ok, if you're American or Indian as Danny discovered (I'm from Northern Ireland so I'm totally boned in that respect, the thing just runs away and hides behind my TV).
The software just hasn't caught up yet. Let's hope it does because it's an interesting idea, waiting on a landmark title to show it off.
