Got it primarily for xbox live, to have espn and netflix, but also family games. What advice do the learned members of tBB have to share?

Sport Kinect games are pretty fun- volleyball, ping pong, etc. Fruit ninja is pretty great. All the Kinect games are good exercise.

You can also get HBO go on your 360 & it plays blu rays. Kinect is pretty fun also. Pretty sound investment on your part.

get kinect sports, and the michael jackson dance game. Those are fun games and good for party/get-together type situations.
Also, place the kinect in a spot that gives you plenty of open area (left to right and front to back).

Kinect is just like the wii. It's fun for about a week then you never use it, unless you have people over that want to see it.

I'm not sure I'm sold on it yet, but there is talk of some cool voice/motion commands coming in order to use the dashboard and apps like ESPN3, HBOGo, etc., kind of like those new smart TVs that have voice commands.

I bought Kinect when I still had my 360. Regretted it as it really didn't provide any good games. I prefer the Wii because at least you can play Mario games and Zelda.

Terrible advice

Why such terrible advice?
I didn't know she had kids. Since XBOX360 is geared more towards kids anyway then yes 360 with Kinect is the way to go. But if she was a serious gamer and take it seriously then your best bet is with a PS3. Just better all around.

Never, under any circumstance crack a joke at anyone who plays War games. I made that mistake and even had a mod callin me a joke.
