As for myself, I traded in my dusty PSPGO at Gamestop during one of their trade-in offers and scored a Kinect for only $15. At that price, even a hardcore gamer like myself would be hard pressed to say no, and my wife enjoys Dance Central, so it's a win-win. Naturally, I also have Move, which I purchased mostly through department store loyalty points. As both devices are aimed at casuals, they are sold just about everywhere, so there are plenty of ways to save money on them for the cost-savvy. It's no wonder there have been such strong sell-throughs of these products.

I personally don't fit something that's going to hold your enjoyment for the short-term in the hardcore category.
However both devices are still in its relative infancy. Upcoming release titles will be more telling about how well they cater for the hardcore though.
