Nykos Zoom for Kinect now shipping to tiny-roomed gamers worldwide

Kinect ownership means you have to keep a great ten square feet of space at no cost to play in, and that is nearly impossible for plenty of inner-city, bedroom and dorm-room gamers. Fortunately for them, Nyko has developed an answer so simple it’s positively genius — clip-on lenses that reduce the gap the Kinect can see, bringing players in the direction of the television. After the break you will discover a video and press release — but more importantly, the Nyko Zoom is out there directly for $29.99 in all good retailers, and a few of the bad ones too, probably.
