    I waited for this April update, after *** around with this pile of junk for six months, nothing changed. I have never bought a product that was not fully functional at the time of purchase. Are we really suppose to wait months for this thing to do half of
    what is is suppose to do?. Well, I took it apart, boxed it up and put the thing on Ebay. Some unfortunate person will buy this nightmare. I feel guilty, as MS should. Wasted hundreds, but I quit. Good luck to the rest of you.

    My kinect was delivered to the replacement center today. Any guesses to how long before I hear anything about my replacement? I paid 11 bucks for the expedited shipping

  5. my kinect went out this morning. sending it back for replacement. sounds like a common problem. MS better get the kinks worked out quick. this is the 2nd issue I've had with the xbox since I purchased it (1st it wouldn't connect to network, but factory
    reset fixed it even if it was inconvenient to do so). All of these problems on top of issues with xbox live, no 3d bluray, etc. makes the PS4 look like a much better option

  6. i had manny issiues to with my kinect,voicerecog does not work that could be because he's imported and my locale does not match were i actually am,but i had the issue of it disconnecting,the issue that it recognised me as an other person,or not signing me
    in at all or taking ages.the xbox itself is top but the kinect looks rubbish,i hope they can fix it with an update solely for kinect that taccles these shortcommings,i don't want to be sending in my kinet every few months,and a tip for MS when it does (and
    it is not tempered with you should get free credits(used to be ms points) to buy games,then people won't get so frustrated because theres an upside to the downside of it breaking down.

    Good at least I know I'm not the only one with this problem. I have to unplug the kinect from the back of the console then plug it back in to get it to work. That's only a short term fix though. It goes out frequently.

    Xbox do not care for there customers they care for profit we have all had problems with the xbox one but also xbox 360s I had 2 of those replaced also this is what we get for investing all of our money and hours with xbox trade or sell your xbox for
    ps4 the xbox one is a dud console that is going crash and burn GET SHOT OF YOUR XBOX ONE this is not the console they promised us

    Great I split between game and internet and all of the other useless crap on it this is why games are rubbish for xbox and look terrible and now Microsoft are paying off studios to cap frame rates and graphics because the console is ***

    How many truly broken Kinects?

    Well, I will add to the thread. Bought my console and the Kinect worked for about 3 weeks. All of the sudden it died. Nothing, nada. I sent it in and received a replacement at no cost. The second Kinect lasted about a week before it died again. I have
    not used it to play anything. I did use it for the voice recognition. Made contact with customer support today and informed them of the issue. They said that was unusual for a second to go out. They are supposedly connecting me with some customer care
    thing, which will call me within three days. Meanwhile they want to me take the sensor to a friend and see if it works on his. We will see. I am a little frustrated due to the fact that I have over a grand invested in this thing. I wish I could just return
    it all and go for a PS4 at this point.

    I had an issue with my Kinect sensor switching on and off. The problem turned out to be the Skylanders portal connected the the USB port on the back of the Xbox.

    I suspect that anything that draws power from the USB port could cause the Kinect sensor to stop working properly

    I must be extremely lucky! My Kinect sits on top of my flatscreen TV on a small board, which is only attached to the wall with thumbtacks, because of my lack of a proper entertainment stand. I've dropped my Kinect behind the TV so many times I've lost count,
    most of the time it would hit the wood stand that's about 2 feet under it, but other times it would hit the back wall before slamming on the ground, about a 6 foot drop. It's rubbed off so much paint from the back wall that my kinect almost looks white where
    the paint has chipped off onto it.

    Still works, no problems at all and going on over a year old.
