Nope, try recalibrating it!
My Kinect was perfect, until I had 7 people in my living room on Sunday. Did it want to listen? No. I looked a right dork.
I reported this earlier with the voice commands. I have calibrated it loads of times. Sometimes it works a hundred percent accurately and then for no apparent reason it will drop to 70% accuracy and I have to repeat phrases loads of times and sound like a tw*t telling it to go home 6 times in a row. Totally empty quiet room and speaking plain english and it just won't understand. Yet another time I can mumble the phrase whilst in the bathroom and the bloody thing works.
I also have the judder whilst watching TV. That means it is useless as a home media hub which in turns makes it surplus to requirements as the PS4 I get Friday will now do everything I can do with my Xbox only better. I've ripped out the Sky box and plugged that directly into my amp and have also ripped out the Kinect and reverted the Xbox to being just a plain and simple games console.
Irony was I have no problem with the sound. It connects to my Onkyo amp via HDMI and it is picked up as a multistream signal just like the PS3.
Disappointing. So much potential and yet so useless now. Only reason for me to keep it is to play Halo and that is a lot of money to play one game. Can't see any other decent exclusives other than the usual multiplayer first person shooters for "dudebro's". I can play the usual stuff like Netflix on the PS4 so the Xbox has no advantage there. But I can also play David Cage and Naughty Dog games on my PS4. Oh and imaginative stuff like Journey and Flower that we saw on PS3. The Xbox isn't really offering a reason for why it justifies space under my TV.
Hell I'd rather have a Wii U because at least that has a couple of cracking 9/10 games out now!
Maybe they can patch the 50hz issue but from what I've read that won't be as simple as it sounds and could also have other consequences. I will keep hold of the console for now.

Well after a few days I like the fact It's just settled under the TV nicely.
It's not without it's fault but neither was the 360 when I first got it - it's going to have to mature. I downloaded that Kinect sports game the other day and it simply refuses to let me play where my kinect is currently sitting - f**k knows why as it's no different than the old one was.
The voice commands can be hit and miss and like already stated the one time you want it to work when guests are round you end up looking like a plonker - and then the console just looks plain stupid too when it happens.
THE! single most irritating thing about it now though is the stupid decision to remove the pop up notifications when your friends are online - WHY?! I have no idea when my mates are online playing games unless I clumsily revert back to dashboard and click through a million menus.
Dumb!

You should be able to navigate to the Kinect setup screen from the game. It goes to a different set up bit where you have to tell it where the floor is. Mine did the same. Will be fine afterwards. It's only a demo anyway, not the full Kinect sports rivals game.

Automatically saving video clips after certain accomplishments is annoying. My upload folder is packed with saves, punches and long shots on Fifa, none of which I wanted to record. Battlefield also saves clips when you rank up. Again, I just then have the chore of deleting them.
Knocking off the record feature works, but I like using the "record that" voice command when I actually do want to save something.

IMO its a bug with Fifa.
You're wrong. Disc is needed to play, unless you go digital.

Do you really think they'd be THAT stupid? As you said in your first post, what's to stop you installing and passing on.
What are you reading? Something from May/June?

Soooo
My kinect is dead lol.
It refuses to power up - states it's not connected - I did notice the light had gone out but didn't think anything of it!
Mind you I hope it's that and not the actual xbox!
Don't know if I should contact the retailer or microsoft themselves?

Now waiting for a new sensor bar - they send me a new one and I put the old one in the box and return.
Apparently it's happened to quite a few day one editions!
FYI - do you have 3 red lights/lines on all the time on the kinect sensor?? if so it's not supposed to!
