    From eurogamer.net:


    Microsoft has warned that messy floors "with clothes all over the place" will prevent Kinect from working properly. Better have a quick tidy.

    The company also advised against putting the sensor in "a noisy environment", using the examples "on top of your Xbox" and "on top of your subwoofer".

    "We rely on the floor for a number of different parts of the technology," said Mark Plagge, Kinect's senior project manager, during a set-up video.

    "The ideal play space starts about six feet away from the Kinect sensor. Some games will need you to move side to side quite a lot, so you'll want to know there are three-to-four feet on either side of you."

    The requirements don't stop there. People with halogen spotlit rooms may encounter difficulties, as the Kinect sensor prefers an even light source throughout.

    I sure as hell hope that they improve on this, basically sounds like you need minimum a 10x10 clean, neutral coloured, clean and evenly lit room.

    If the Kinect has a H-game (Which will likely never happen) I would buy it.

    If I were to get Kinect, I would give it a couple of months after it came out before I do. Sounds like it's gonna require a ton of updates.
