I'm glad to see they were able to get rid of the controllers -- unecessary holding and carpal tunnel
and with Kinect - you need nothing! yes!!

that also means that you save on all the darn batteries!! yeehaawwww - freedom!!

looks pretty cool from what i saw in their video. it's nice to see games that even disabled people can play. i'm all about getting some game on. can't wait to save up some cash and try it.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.

My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!

I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".

I always loved gaming i clocked pacman when i was 8, I still play PS3 i just use my left leg on the buttons i cant use with my bad arm. I love to play Modern warfare i am not the best at it but when i do top the charts in online play, i always let the other players know they just got owned by a 1 armed man. Good luck.

Ps. i hope the xbox is as good as it looks. Finnaly the scence from back to the future may come true. When a kid says to M J fox that he cant belive there is games where people still use thier hands.
