First Study That massive Beta Kinect Camera inside the Wild [Leak]

Beta users for the Xbox 360′s Kinect seem to have mixed feelings concerning the still-in-development motion gaming device.

The beta Kinect kits started showing up in mailboxes and on doorsteps today and came with a small collection of games including Kinect Sports and Kinect Joyride. It also came with the motorized camera and a smiley-face placard for installing the hardware.

The first time beta testers plug in their new hardware they’re asked to download a little bit software called the Kinect Hub. The hub permits you to download other betas in addition as calibrate the hardware.

Beta testers we heard from tell us there is some lag inside the games they’ve played, but that it’s not that noticeable. Additionally they said that voice commands are working with the beta.

When a gamer calls out to their Xbox a menu pops up that offers them a listing of accessible voice commands, like dashboard, back and forward .

Here’s a take a look at what the beta hardware seems like out inside the wild.

Thanks to the Ostrich guy and our other tipsters.

Update: I’ve removed two photos that can were sent to us by someone rather than the original picture taker.
