Just wondering if the Kinect is powered by USB or an External PSU??
Anyone got one yet.. I haven't had the time to google it myself.
UPDATE:
oops, forget that.. Just got a email. heheh
The Kinect does not need external power if it is connected to the new xbox 360 (Slim). On the older xbox 360 system you need the external power supply.

* Revolutionary technology that includes body recognition _________________________________________________________ HQ Network:

Wayneski,
Yes it works on the older model xbox 360's no problem.. I just bought the kinect unit by itself. It comes with a power supply and plugs into any USB port.
On the newer kinects they have a dedicated USB port for kinect and you don't need the power supply. They are a much nicer box too and are alot of deals around at the moment.
Is Kinect still using some of the Xboxes processing power to work? I heard at one point it was going to be using 10% of the processing power of the xbox which would make some games run like shit. I then heard it would only be 2% of the processing power. I know wonder if they just put a CPU on the Kinect like they originally going to so that the xbox CPU has all of it's cycles left open still? _________________________________________________________
