Wondering anyone know any shop selling Kinect and have demo unit to try out?

I recall there are 1 or 2 shop in Cathay Damansara, probably will check it out when got time.

Went to Sony Shop and tried the PS3. The gamepad is too big for my 6 yrs old son and it is too complicated for me.
I can't even handle PSP button so PS3 is no no.

I am testing out Wii now. My fren is good enough to loan me his Wii with a pair of numchuck and few games.
Wii definitely considerable as it's good for family playing together.

Now last one to test is Xbox+Kinect.

hv u try Gamerhideout??

owh.. sorry I don't much about LYN GamersHideout

Many thanks forumers for sharing the info.


I am a bit concern on this statement:-

"You need approx 6meter away from the Kinect camera and minimum 1.5 meter wide to move around depending on your size."


Basically my LCD is wall mounted and the distance between the LCD and my sofa is about 4m.
Width is no problem as there are plenty of room to move left and right.

I wonder distance is a problem?

yes, u need stand at least 6m if u wanna play 2 player
4-5m for single player, u may need move your sofa back abit

coz u be doing jumping, running on the spot and move around abit, so 6m is recomended space between u and your LCD

6' or 2m is more than enough. 4m away kinect will complain already.

4 yr can play Kinect sport very well.

if u like Wii, i'm pretty sure u'll like Kinect even more...
for ur case, if the space is not enuf, then im sure you can work it out by moving ur sofa to the side.....

it really is a fun game for the whole family.. specially Kinect Sports...

OMG, not 6m, is 6ft
sorry for the confusion..

LOL....Thanks Edison for the clarification.

If 6 ft then I have more than enough distance.

My fren just came back from SG said they are doing Kinect Roadshow in SG school.

Wonder any promotional price there.

Shall I buy in SG? Is there any problem buying in SG (Beside the warranty) ?


Thanks all in advance for your reply.

doesnt matter where u buy the kinect, all console can play.. asia, europe, america, atlantica? lol

Nyko Zoom for Kinect
for people with space problem BUT u need to preorder first product come in August

I got my Kinect sensor from SG. I think you'll find that it's significantly cheaper than getting it here. If I'm not mistaken, I got mine at launch for about SGD230. It will work fine on any xbox (both fat and slim flavours although you will need to use the supplied power adaptor with the older fat xboxes.)

Remeber to make sure that your 6 year old can actually be seen by the sensor properly

Hmmm....http://www.xbox.com there is no Malaysia, only Singapore.....wonder why...

Malaysia is considered not supported by MS, but MY players can are grouped under singapore. currently, Singapore Xbox provide indirect support to Malaysia customers.

Because we are one of the Jack Sparrow land....

LOL.....

So, when I register XBL, I shall choose US region?

Yes.. Very useful if US account especially when you want to download DLC games... For some games, Asian account being blocked by MS...
Go for US account.. Be an ah moh kau (English man)...
