Having bought the initial Xbox 360, released in the US in 2005, I had been awaiting a new console from Microsoft for years. After hearing rumors that finally a new console was to be released I became extremely exited. The new Black Console from Xbox with Kinect in hand is a HUGE upgrade from the previous models. At first I was skeptical that the Kinect would be of much use to me but have realized that now it is a centerpiece to our family room. Though, when late night comes and the kids are in bed, my inner hardcore gamer comes out. Overall, the Xbox plus Kinect is a toy for everyone and a necessity for some.
