Wow.. very impressive.Danimal wrote:According to the MS presser at CES the Kinect sold 8 million in it's first 60 days. That's pretty damn impressive for a niche device.

The live blog i read of the press event said sold. I have no way to verify that is true so who knows.ScoopBrady wrote:Sold or shipped? I read that they have shipped 8 million on IGN but haven't seen a sales figure. Still, impressive either way.

(Sorry. Love that pic.)
I think it is Active 2 that is the issue. I don't have any issues with YSFE or other programs but Active always stops reading me etc.10spro wrote:I am still enjoying Active 2, but some of the programs are starting to get on my nerves as the game freezes towards the cool down portion. Not sure if the Kinect just doesn't get your whole body when you're doing the stretches for cooling while lying down or what not, but after sweating it out for almost 1 hour, you want to see your progress. Unfortunately, it's not the 1st time that it happens to me, so it's frustrating. At this point I don't think it's the disc, but more with the Kinect not seeing you properly and then freezing. Has this happened to anyone else?
That sounds absolutely ridiculous!Jimmydeicide wrote:Forza 4 to have Kinect compatibility, cant wait to see how the force feedback is implemented. The more Kids you have the better the effects, 3 kids is recommended 1 on each side and your eldest behind you for acceleration.
EA's posted that their next 360 title update will "provide better movement tracking". Sounds like a coding issue.sportdan30 wrote:I've read quite a few complaints from reviews and gamers alike about the Kinect version of Active 2. Seems the PS3 version is much better in terms of responsiveness of the sensors.

I did have a freeze a couple of days ago during the cool down stretching period. It was frustrating. Hopefully it will not be a recurring problem.10spro wrote:I am still enjoying Active 2, but some of the programs are starting to get on my nerves as the game freezes towards the cool down portion.

Yes you can. You can just "ask" the virtual trainer to set up a CARDIO workout at whatever intensity (easy-hard) and whatever time limit...10-30 minutes. You can also create your own from the exercises in the program. I wouldn't recommend that until you get a feel for all the exercises. If you are looking for a real challenge go into the other set workouts. They are ball busters. I have them below. Other than Cardio there are other workouts tailored to Full Body, Upper Body, Lower Body and Core.Gurantsu wrote:I snagged the EA Sports Active from the Amazon sale. I plan on setting up and doing my first workout this afternoon.
Once I recover from shovelling ice...
I mainly want to use it for some cardio stuff, as my doctor said to get more excercise and drop a few pounds. Can you tailor your workout for stuff like that? (I haven't even popped the disk in yet.)
I have found that whenever there is an exercise on the ground to remain standing until the Kinect/game prompts you to sit. If you sit right away it prompts you to stand until the sensor recognizes you.Gurantsu wrote:I decided to just start with the 9 week program, since its been a while since I've done serious exercise. It was pretty neat, and the tracking only slipped up a couple of times, strangely not when I was sitting though. Of course, I also had a 4 and a 7 years old running around behind me, so that could have affected it!
