Didn't work with XBox One S. Needs to buy a separate adaptor to use with Xbox One S

I purchased this camera for a specific game and I have been trying to scan my face for a week and still cannot do it correctly

I was unpleasantly surprised when I discovered that the plug on the Xbox One Kinect Sensor did not fit my Xbox one S. Microsoft has created an adapter which they are charging an additional $40 dollars for which was currently unavailable at my local Best Buy. I was so disappointed with Microsoft that I returned the unit.

Should be noted that the cord does not come with and must purchase separately

I've gone through two of these units (they just stop working). The 2nd unit simply stopped working after 3 months. It's basically an overpriced, glorified Skype camera that doesn't work very well (when it works at all). Please save your money and buy something else instead...

This here is an extremely useful device. I can simply yell at my Xbox One with a barrage of commands to control it. I could also use my hands if I wanted. It spies on me when me and my lady are sleeping. It's great! It makes navigating through Cable TV a breeze and more enjoyable. I love saying "Xbox, On." It's kind of a morning ritual for me. Hopefully they can implement some of the more impressive features of this unit in the future.

I bought this product with a coupon and waited a few months before I got around to hooking it up. By then there were no adapters available or they cost as much as the unit itself.

I haven't tried it yet. There is no adapter in the box!!! Turns out Best Buy doesn't carry them. Neither does Target, Walmart, or Game Stop. There needs to be more games that use the kinect, anyway.

The install told us that the video card we had is now only the minimum level and warned of a degraded experience. It was the recommended Nvidia card that was listed on the box. Beware

Sensor was on sale so I figured why not. It adds some cool functionality to XBOX One. I like being able to voice command the system on. True test will be some of the games. Will be very happy if there are a couple that work really well. So far, pleased with it. It sometimes does not hear all that well though. I have a very quiet environment and it still hiccups.

Bought this expecting it to understand my every command. I couldnt even get it to work for changing channels let alone game play. Big disapointment.

i bougth this on deal of the day 79.99 and when i picked it up they wanted the 99.99, websight buggy that day, had to cancel the pick up

The Kinect seems to be somewhat bulky for what little the box actually contains. However, it works pretty well overall. I've had difficulty getting the included game to recognize my kids and let me step out of the camera view. The instructions for how use it, what commands you can say and when, and how to adjust the settings seem to be plain wrong (due to Xbox system updates perhaps) or missing completely. I think that once I get the hang of it I'll be able to use it better. Microsoft seems to be backing away from their initial push on this product though so hopefully they continue to support it and create new games for it. If you are not interested in the dancing games and you don't have young kids that you want to be able to play games without needing to figure out how to use a controller, then I probably wouldn't recommend getting this. Otherwise, I do recommend it.

For the D model you need an adapter that is not available in the stores.

I got mine when you couldn't get an xbox one without it but I like it. I use it for the voice commands to turn off my xbox. I also used it for auto login although that can now be done without the Kinect. I don't use it to play games with but it does serve a purpose.

Honestly, I got the Kinect because I am a huge Microsoft and Xbox fanboy. The only things I regularly use it for is voice commands to the Xbox. Unfortunately, that's about it :( While there are a handful of games that work with the Kinect, its largely unsupported as of late. Really, it is an amazing, quality piece of hardware, but if you buy it don't expect too much out of it in terms of gaming. I still think its worth it though... hopefully it becomes an interesting element of the Xbox experience again.

If you're buying an Xbox One then go all the way and buy the Kinect too. It allows you to use voice commands to operate your Xbox and controls your television volume also.

It was kinda glitchy for me. It picks up my voice most of the time but it misses often enough to bring the rating down to a 4/5. If you want to use your xbox for watching movies, TV, netflix, hulu this is a must! It makes watching netflix that much easier because you can just control everything without picking up the remote, helpful when eating food and such. Another problem is you'll most likely need to keep xbox in its sleep mode and not power saver mode to use the kinects full features, potentially a electric bill problem. Overall if you can get this in a bundle, I'd go for it. If you want nice things in your life this is one of them!

Daughter is extremely satisfied with it! It was on her Christmas list along with a couple games and it was the first thing she set up!

Its great to have voice command the surf the the menus. I a 8 month so my hands are tied up a lot. This is a great help. Get it while on sell.
