First one was damaged. Replaced and working normally

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2012

Verified Purchase

I got this for $60.00 which is a good deal for the Kinect bundle even when it is refurbished. First unit did not turn on at all and received an exchange in 2 days. Replacement unit has been working perfectly and it appears brand new (no scratches or wear and tear signs).

The bundle comes with a separate power adapter for older Xbox 360 consoles that do not have the dedicated Kinect connector on the back that provides power. In my case I use this with a Gears of War Themed Xbox 360 which is one of the newer models. As for the performance of the sensors, I am using it in a spacious area without any objects that could interfere with the sensors. I have used it in dim and low light conditions and it still recognizes commands and movements. Voice recognition is kind of hit or miss, you have to be very clear with the pronunciation.

Overall, its a good buy even when it is refurbished.

Coolest thing he didn't even know he wanted.

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2013

Verified Purchase

I haven't played with this much as it was a Christmas gift for my 17 year old son.

I have heard my wife and him in giggling and laughing while playing games with it though and he has repeatedly stated how it is the coolest thing that he didn't even know he wanted.

It allows for voice commands to the XBox and I hear him telling the XBox to do things all the time. Its usually the first thing he shows off to his friends when they come over.

This one was refurbished and so far it has worked flawlessly. It was a great buy for the kid that has everything.

Did not work

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023

Verified Purchase

The sensor would turn on and the light was green, but when I went to play a game the kinect sensor would not register. The Kinect sensor would point to the ground, the light changed to an orange-red color and the game shut down due to the device not working. It did have a couple of scratches but nothing signifying that the device itself was inoperable.

SupremeDealsCR...Fantastic customer support

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

First, I would like to say that with 36 years of IT experience, I understand that things happen. Now to the review...I received the sensor from SupremeDealsCR and hooked it up. It worked for about 7 hours and then died. Some troubleshooting indicated that the sensor camera had stopped working. Per the enclosed documentation, I contacted Max at SupremeDealsCR rather than contacting Amazon. All I can say is SupremeDealsCR has amazing customer support. I had very fast and positive interaction with them and they quickly sent me a replacement sensor (2 days). I ran the sensor for about 12 hours incident free. Max contacted me the following day with a follow-up to ensure that everything was functioning properly and that I was happy with the support. Thank you Max and SupremeDealsCR! It is rare to find such fantastic customer service.
