I spent New Year's Eve around my brothers and he had just bought Kinect for his kids. It's tremendous fun and we spent a few hours playing the Sports one.

The boxing was great, and for cripple like myself exhausting.

I had two fights and got stopped in the second when I could no longer continue

Even better is it records video of you afterwards and plays it back, in my case it showed me bent over and wheezing after 2 rounds of 'brutal' shadow boxing.

So I think it's worth investing in as a fun way to exercise, maybe not for hardcore athletes, but more than enough for me.

There are dedicated fitness programs available for it as well so I'm thinking of taking the console plunge and finally buying an xbox 360 only 5 years after their launch.

Anyone else own, or use the kinect yet? I was well impressed. My brothers kids have the Wii as well and I was always a bit 'meh' with that, couldn't see the appeal, but this is the bollocks imo.
