The Smiling Face Of Kinect
Some companies are trying to reduce the amount of stuff they pack into your game boxes, but it looks like many Kinect games will add another slip of paper to the pile. We found this smiling face included with several Kinect titles, though it seems to be of questionable usefulness.
Apparently, the little grin-in-a-box is part of the calibration process, but none of the games we've been playing have asked for the card specifically. Still, the text on the back seems pretty insistent (in multilingual fashion) that you protect the card's well-being with your life.
So, what does it all mean? Nothing really, except that you can expect to see a lot more of that face staring at you if you pick up Kinect later this week.
Oh, and here's the card's backside:
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
