Sexy new Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle unboxing

Summary: As it turns out, my old Xbox red-ringed, so we brought the first Kinect back and bought the bundle. Sigh. Here's what the Kinect combo looks like.

Here it is. The big bundle. This set contains an Xbox 360 with a 250GB hard drive, a wireless controller, and the Kinect.

But lest you think you know what you're going to get, visit the rest of this gallery. There were some surprises inside the box (and not all of the good kind).

I like the bundle but why is ZDnet using a slideshow control that causes postbacks?

the whole slideshow thing is 100% idiotic

@Mythos7 I pretty much don't read the slideshow posts anymore. I get tricked into looking at the first slide, but I'm not sitting there clicking and waiting for each boring slide to load. Just write a nice single page article with a few photos like normal people. Don't have time for this idiocy.

HDMI isn't common just yet. In fact, my home doesn't have ONE TV (and only one computer) that can export or import HDMI video, so it's a waste for most people. In about 10 years, when HDMI is STANDARD on all TV's, then HDMI cables only would be a good idea.

What a cheap looking pile of plastic, and poor packaging job, it all looked 'thrown' into a box. That thing won't last a year under real use.

Real Use? Please understand the product

before trolling about it. The Kinect sits on the stand, untouched. You are mistaking it for a Wii style controller. Did you actually belive that you held the Kinect in your hand to use it?
