No, But I do have a request for those that have. The device has a built in mic that you can use when playing online multiplayer games like COD.

Please use your headset instead, Using your Kinect mic for Multiplayer Communication sounds horrible! I usually end up muting anyone using the kinect microphone because it sounds that bad.

And while im on the subject of Headsets, if you are on the phone, arguing with your old lady or your mother, Please turn your headset off. We dont really want to listen to you asking your boss what time to come in to work tomorrow or listen to you fighting with your wife. Save us the trouble stopping our gameplay to go into menu to mute you, just flick your mute switch please.

The Kinect mic is quite impressive. It works amazingly well. but it is meant to pic up sound and voices in the room, not just an individual so yeah it must suck for people in multiplayer games to hear someones else's party going on. I can imagine your pain man

MS said that Kinect will have facial emotion recognition and that there will be a Fable Kinect ready (but using the controller too )

Its not so much the other sounds, but more of a combination of both the audio sounds like people are in a tunnel and for some reason the sound coming in from the people using Kinect is (in my experience so far) To damn loud. Very loud actualy, so I turn my headset volume down so they are not so loud but then I can not hear the people using head sets, so I usually end up having to just mute the guy with the kinect so I can hear the other guys.

Kinect is the bomb-diggity

I havent had that much fun playing a video game in ages. The body tracking is amazing and I cant wait to get a podcast (vidcast?) happening on the 360-hq facebook page with Avatar Kinect.

I see massive potential in this little gadget.

@Gameover, totally agree with the mic issue

So I did not full fill my new years promise... I have not used the Kinect in about 6 months Sad and I really do need to get in shape! I am getting fatter and fatter!!!! Don't worry I'm not that fat.

I find I am normally to lazy to play Kinect, and opt to use controller games sitting on the couch, eating chips, having ice cream and drinking beer or eating carrots. I mean I do some hard work so when I turn on the TV I just want to sit there. So I do hard work, I sit for hours at the computer and then, either watch Netflix or play controller games.

I need to break the cycle!!!! Neutral

That's cool! I really do like the Kinect but there aren't many games for it yet. I just need to be more active haha
