We picked up an XBox Kinect for the kids. So far... I'm impressed. We also have a Wii, and the Kinect does better for mapping hit collisions. That is, for example, when you are batting around a ball, the Kinect seems to better calculate the position of your hand in space. I was impressed with the recognition sign in option. It has learned who we are by sight, and when we step in front of it it logs us into our various profiles... I was impressed with the integration of things like ESPN, and Netflix and I attached via the HDMI interface. Over Thanksgiving, I introduced my sons to the joys of watching Rugby.
Facebook and Twitter are more hampered by Xbox, and better served by computer interface.
I haven't tried the demo of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows yet, but I'm interested in how well they incorporate "wand" action and voice to activate spells. I imagine vast possibilities for this game play interface.
Some things I'd like to see now:
My boys are both very much enjoying Kinectimals. It's actually death by cuteness.

Some things I'd like to see now:
- vs lightsaber or sword/shield battle
- vs martial arts, boxing or kickboxing.
- flying around like superman, or Neo.
