Kinect for Xbox 360 launch @ New York’s Times Square

Last night, New York’s famed Times Square went controller-free, as the Crossroads of the World was transformed into a dancing, singing, A-list celebration for today’s North American launch of Kinect for Xbox 360. A full day of demos, star-studded appearances and a massive, choreographed dance routine culminated in an excited line of thousands of fans eagerly waiting to take home the future of home entertainment, now available at more than 30,000 retailers nationwide.

 

Xbox 360 took over Times Square today draping it in purple and hosting a dance party with thousands to celebrate the launch of its newest product, Kinect, which lets you be the controller.
