first the hardware.

Simple enough, place above, or below your tv , screen, or what you play on. Setup is easy, it has jacks to use with all the styles of boxes, if you have the newest box, its one cable, plug it in the orange port, good to go. older ones, it has a usb adapter, along with an AC adapter.

Plug in, turn on the box, download the update to make it work.

Go through the basic setup, and your good to go. Open up a Kinect menu to setup the Recognize option where all you have to do is wave at it, it will recognize you, and log you into your profile. nice..

game play is easy enough, move left, right, forward, and backward. 2 people works easy enough, and fun..

It does record video of you doing the moves while you play a game, and shows how silly you look when its done, you can disable that, or upload them for good laughs to facebook, twitter, and a few other places.

Also, you can turn on voice enable, where you say Xbox, then one of many commands. xbox play disc, will bootup what games in the drive.

thats all i have for now on a review, didnt get too much into media play back, but i guess you can say , pause, play, stop.

will try to get back and write more when i can.
