GAME is fully onboard with its support for Kinect - and has labelled the device "great value", despite its hefty £130 pricetag.

Following Microsoft's price announcement for its motion-sensing technology, GAME issued a statement with their own thoughts on Kinect.

"At E3 in June, we were lucky enough to play with Kinect and can say that it truly is ground-breaking technology," said Martyn Gibbs, managing director of GAME Group UK.

"Since then, we've been driving awareness of Kinect to our customers in-store and online. We know from their feedback that they are excited about getting their hands on it and what it could do to their gaming experience.
Whether they buy Kinect on its own or as part of the great value bundle, it is going to be on the Christmas lists of both core gamers and families."

Not a surprising position for them to take, as a major retail store like GAME has to side with Microsoft. But do you agree with them?

Cheap at half the price.

Can't see this taking off.

Kinect requires six feet of space between the player and TV in order to be enjoyed.

That's according to online retail behemoth Amazon, which has seemingly delivered the most concrete info yet on how close we can expect to wiggle in front our tellies.

The retailer warns: "You'll need any Xbox 360 console, a Kinect sensor, Kinect games and 6 feet between you and your television for play space."

The spacing info is mentioned on the game's pre-order page, but oddly not only the official Kinect checklist.

If true, this pretty much puts bedroom Kinect gaming to bed, especially considering the device allegedly doesn't work when lying down either.
