Turning on the TV with voice controls is magical. Changing channels too.
These were like the only two things that made Kinect worthwhile.
I don't watch live TV, aside from basketball games, so the Kinect's lack of DVR support really limited the functionality.
On top of that, it was finnicky and constantly doing weird shit (signing in people who weren't there, making the hand cursor pop up for no damn reason).
One day I came home and the box was off, unresponsive, and making jet engine sounds. That's when I disKinected. I got the Xbox working again, and it hasn't had any issues like that without the Kinect.
Plus, it was just creepy having that thing always watching.
