Well from what I understand in short, kinect allows you to play games without any controllers. More info on: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/kinect

Your body is the controller. As far as I understand they use very advance motion sensors.

Take a look at this review of Kinect on youtube:

kinetic is a special feature of the xbox it is what they call something that can bring down the nintendo wii.. you can play without the controllers and only the sensor thing can pissed you off. year by the year the new kind of games and consoles released. waiting for the touchscreen games.

That's cool. I'll try to rent one so I can have a feel of it before buying my own console.

By the way, I noticed that in my countries various "centers" opened that will allow you to play video game on various consoles for an amount of time. Of course the will charge you for that. Maybe you can find something similar and test kinect...
