Please help advicing me regarding Kinect for Xbox 1

I purchased Xbox1 500GB from BigW deal ($299).

When i was looking to buy Kinect, its costing $160 or over.

In mocrosoft store, Xbox1 500gb with Kinect and 3 games is selling for $399. Which is $100 more than BIG W. But to buy a kinect its costing more than $100.

I'm thinking to return my purchase from BigW and buy from MS store. Please shed your thoughts

    What games do you want to play on Kinect?

    • Ouffer serffer on 20/06/2016 - 17:50

      Frankly no idea. Intention is to keep myself and kid physically active

        youll never use it. trust me. its a gimmick. go for a run outside and get the cheaper console.

          Thank you mate. Very fair and genuine advice. Will stick to what i bought.

    I only ever use the kinect for turning the volume up on my stereo from bed. If anything it's made me LESS active.

    Looking forward to trying it with remastered Skyrim when it comes out though.

      Thanks heaps for for your advice mate. Will stick to what i bought.

        To be fair, I don't play anything like Dance Revolution or the like. Maybe you would use it more than I do. Dragon Age Inquisition is on my to do list, you can shout orders as your team members apparently, that might be cool?

    $77 pre owned at EB. https://ebgames.com.au/xbox-one-202155-Kinect-for-Xbox-One-p…

    Its novelty wears off pretty quickly and isn't really supported much anymore so I'd check to see if there's some games that use it the way you want before getting it.

    • Ouffer serffer on 20/06/2016 - 21:42

      Thanks a lot for the suggestion mate. Will stick to what i already bought

  • Japius on 21/06/2016 - 09:42

    I grabbed a kinect off ebay for $68, if you really find a game you want that uses one they will be obtainable, but honestly I never use it other than for the voice commands

    • Ouffer serffer on 21/06/2016 - 21:43

      Thanks mate. Will decide by weekend to return or use it as bluray player

  • ilikeradiohead on 21/06/2016 - 15:02

    Pretty much the only thing I do with my kinect is say 'Xbox, take a screenshot'. The voice commands aren't even that intuitive, like if you say 'xbox, screenshot' nothing will happen.

    I used it for just dance for a bit but there are better ways to stay active. I wouldn't bother.

    • Ouffer serffer on 21/06/2016 - 21:44

      Thank you. Decided not to worry about it. Will decide if I will keep it or return

    Out of curiosity, does BigW allow used console to be returned? I certainly wouldn't want to be buying a returned console.

    • magic8ballgag on 25/06/2016 - 14:45

      Doubt it, but if they do they certainly wouldn't re-package and put it back on the floor as a new product.

    • Ouffer serffer on 25/06/2016 - 21:58

      I haven't opened the box. It's intact.
