Early Kinect Game? Xbox 360's Don't Take Kindly To Them

Early Copies Of Kinectimals Pull Down Xbox Live Blocker

It goes a little something like this: if by dumb luck/smart luck/nepotism/armed robbery/stork delivery you have a copy of Kinectimals lying around your apartment, (complete with Kinect, bien sur) and there’s also a handsome, debonair Xbox 360 minding its own business also residing at your address, make doubly, nay quintuply certain that never the two shall meet.

Or at least until next week until Microsoft can get its act together and stop delivering half-assed unfinished updates that boot you off Xbox Live when you stick in a Kinect game. Although, if you think way too hard about it, it’s Microsoft’s console, game and bigass webcam, they can do whatever they want with them. And in this hyper-connected world you so rarely get a chance to just look out the window, see a sunrise, play with your kids, do some gardening, watch paint dry, name your toes or for that matter count all the holes on the side of your Xbox. Because what else are you gonna do with it until November 4th comes around with no Xbox Live?

      The devices that are out there being tested are keyed to a console ID number and will not work on any other machine.

      Just like the preview of the new console interface is only available to those who signed up and provided their console ID.

      That’s as may be, but I don’t think that’s common knowledge. Also, broken street dates.
