No, you actually can use any XBOX 360 to use the Kinect. The only difference is that the new one has a powered usb port (i.e. you only need to plug the Kinect into the XBOX, and not the wall as well)
yes you need the new version of the xbox for the kinect to work
You dont need the kinect to set up the Xbox 360 S. Lets just sum this up. The kinect is a add-on for ANY Xbox 360 console. Asker note: No, I mean, how do I set up a new Xbox 360 that I am not using Kinect on.
no
The Kinect for Xbox 360
noooo you dont :) i have kinect.. when you plug the kinect for your console it asks you for update and when you press YES UPDATE MY CONSOLE, it asks you to insert the disk that came with your kinect(kinect adventures disk) and when you insert the disk the console updates itself.. :) no update from the internet needed... enjoy and i recommend buying it, it is a very cool thing..... any more questions send me to: gabondiego@gmail.com
Youtube isnt available at the moment on the Xbox. However, no. You do not need the kinect even if there was youtube.
you can play xbox games with kinect plugged in but unless the game sais on it that its for kinect it wont work with it.
July 6, 2010: There is no official name for the new Xbox 360, but Kinect is an add-on for the Xbox 360. However I'm not sure if Kinect will work for the "old" Xbox 360 and only the new Xbox 360.
Firstly, its called just the Kinect, not Xbox 360 Kinect. The reason being is that the Kinect is a open source hardware which can be used by other companies. The kinect will connect to all Xbox 360's. With the older models, you will need to attach the power supply (included). The Xbox 360 S does not need this power supply.
Yes, I am sorry to say that you do need a new xbox 360 to play kinect. It will advertise it on the box if it can.
No, Kinect works without Xbox live. If you have Live then great. Kinect adds a couple of new features to Live.
