"Microsoft has kept it very quiet that Kinect voice control would be   disabled outside the US, Japan and the UK until a patch arrives for each   territory's unique language needs."

"In fact, the Australian Xbox site makes no mention of the delay.   Instead, the site continues to promote the ability to control the Xbox   dashboard and applications like movies with your voice as a major   marketing point for the new Kinect system."

"It was also interesting to hear the kids naturally compare Kinect with Wii, and put the new platform on top."

I find that funny, since the technology was developed in the UK.

The Milo test game was also in British English.

Makes sense though, get it released earlier - then work on getting it fully functional :rollseyes:

I've got a buddy who recently got Kinect. He said it's basically just a novelty, and it's just kind of a silly thing once you get over the new-cool factor of it.
