Kinect

It should be no great surprise in this day and age, but a Microsoft spokesperson has confirmed that Kinect will be built upon and improved via firmware updates as time goes by. Voice controls are a fun, simple way of getting around a console, and as it becomes more and more intuitive, it could easily become better for menus than a controller.

When the original Kinect was announced, there was a joke about people playing games in the nude, especially in relation to Lionhead's unreleased Milo. That's not a problem any more, as Kinect 2.0 picks up on your bits whether you're wearing clothes or not.

Fancy trading in your dust-covered Kinect next time you visit a GAME store? It's probably best you keep a hold of it - the biggest gaming retailer in the UK are giving just £3 credit for Microsoft's motion sensor, or £2.30 cash. That's less than $4.
