I still think the hardware itself looks freakishly ugly.

No box art can remedy that.

 

[lastplayed]

Purple and green. Like the Joker!

 

[water_wendi]

Its so freaking wide. It looks as if its about to tip over any moment.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

It must have taken some real effort to make purple and green look that terrible together.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Lame, they should have utilized their best asset, the Lips Guy

 

[devilhawk]

Those are mock-ups of a display case. I hope.

 

[MYE]

Those solid green waves look really ugly. They use them on the new boxarts too right?

yuk

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

Another Kinect thread off to a promising start.

 

[KevinCow]

I like how the games are all listed as $00.00.


I still wouldn't pick most of them up.

 

[Diablohead]

I like how they have kinect along the top of the box but also feel the need to stick a huge purple square box on the cover telling you that you need kinect, you know in case you don't realise you need kinect to play a kinect game.

 

[Jay Sosa]

The colorscheme is horrible, the games seem to be pretty cheap though.

EDIT: Stupid Dharma cow

Spoiler

No offense

 

[falconzss]

so kinect keeps on delivering even with its packaging?

nice.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

I am the controller.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

if i cover my ears and close my eyes it will all go away rite

 

[Risette]

No John, you are the controller.

 

[Ikkarus]

The purple, green and white combo isn't working for me.

 

[Sage00]

Your mom is the controller.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Looks fine to me.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Box art is too busy. Should be cleaner and simpler.

 

[Suzzopher]

Looks fine to me.

I love you Garth <3

 

[Cosmonaut X]

Oh, look - it's Active Life: Outdoor Challenge, or any one of several dozen "lifestyle" themed boxarts.

 

[Kurtofan]

That tv is tiny compared to the kids.

 

[Cold-Steel]

Is it just me or does the size of Kinect itself look physically huge?

 

[beelzebozo]

i'm also the couch!

 

[glaurung]

Is it just me or does the size of Kinect itself look physically huge?

That's cos it is.

 

[Diablohead]

The camera is very long, i'll give it a year before they release a half sized version in green or something.

 

[Suzzopher]

A year? They took almost five years to put the 360 on a diet:lol

 

[Combichristoffersen]

i'm also the couch!

are you comfy?

 

[Pooya]

So Kinect games come in purple boxes not just with purple header in green boxes, that's news to me :lol , and look how those two kids are playing while standing and their parents are sitting and watching.... :lol

 

[beelzebozo]

are you comfy?

nonono, don't sit down, kinect malfuuuuu--

 

[Kurtofan]

I never understood this.
My parents never cared about my videogames and they never watched me playing.
Plus I hate when someone is watching me playing.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

i'm also the couch!

...and there goes my tea, all over the desk :lol

I'm actually a bit disappointed by how generic the marketing material here is - it really does look like every other bit of Wii dross out there, and it lacks the identity of the "Wii X" line.

I would have thought that Microsoft would have gone all the way and lifted the Miis + clean design route for the promo material, using Avatars instead. At least rip off the best, and not the stuff you see on the cover of the cheap knockoffs.

 

[bulovski]

Does this mean the Kinect will now be packaged in purple polybags?

 

[VOOK]

Controller free gaming should define and revolutionise packaging and come in nothing.

 

[Kuraudo]

Surely Kinect's the controller...

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

You are the packaging.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

nonono, don't sit down, kinect malfuuuuu--

Fuck you Kinect, you're supposed to refer to me as Batman

I still think the hardware itself looks freakishly ugly.

No box art can remedy that.

I don't think the hardware looks bad tbh.

But that box art definitely does, largely due to those fugly green waves.

 

[Xater]

Looks about as bad as expected.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

But that box art definitely does, largely due to those fugly green waves.

I love the green and purple waves, especially the purple part since it reminds me of Milka chocolate. I'm not too crazy about the gray waves on the bundle box, however.

 

[akachan ningen]

The combination of purple and green puts me in a bad mood. I don't know why.

 

[beelzebozo]

to avoid criticisms about the size and appearance of the sensor, they should have created a secondary sensor that could anticipate the sensing of the primary sensor, eliminating the need for that sensor altogether.

it IS the sensor.

 

[VOOK]

You are the packaging.

Bingo. Inserted Anally.

 

[Kilrogg]

"You are the controller."

Wow. Not sure I like that tagline. I mean, it was fine as one line among many others during the E3 2009 and 2010 presentations, but I didn't think they'd actually use it as a slogan. I can't put my finger on what I don't like about it. Might be the fact that it sounds like technology advocacy under the pretence of being about the consumer experience.

Also, I couldn't care less about the green/purple waves considering that the system is butt ugly anyway unless you like Alienware design.

 

[NullPointer]

Every time I see that Kinect unit I think of this:

Although to be fair, most of gaming as a whole reminds me of the same thing nowadays.

 

[Ninja Moomin]

YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK... the design!


1 - the waves look like something a 1st year design student would do. Utterly prosaic.

2 - The purple is fucking disgusting

 

[Nonoriri]

 

[CryptiK]

It can Kinect with my foot out the window..

The price on this thing in Australia is going to be ridiculous.

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

The purple boxes are ugly

 

[neorej]

This will definatly draw in the hardcore...
