"Robin Burrowes, the marketing manager for Xbox Live has today told gaming news website MCV that Microsoft's much hyped Kinect will not come with certain features when it launches in November.
The device will not have voice control or video chat, both of which will be added at an unspecified later date. In the E3 2010 live stage demonstration, both of these features were shown with the voice control proving to impress the crowd with the ability to pause movies and similar functions."
It's almost like MS wants Kinect to fail.
