I caved in and collected my Gamestation bundle yesterday, although I didn't open it until later in the evening as I was still deciding whether I really wanted it or not, and I can't believe how much room Kinect needs.

My 360 is in the kitchen, which is quite spacious, and the initial setup had me standing about 8 feet away from the sensor. The problem with this position is room to the left, right and above. On my left is the breakfast bar and about 1 foot above my head is a ceiling beam, the only one and it's the lowest ceiling point in the kitchen. Both of these present problems: lack of left space means not enough room for two players and the beam above my head will easily be hit when jumping and arm swinging.

I'm going to play around with the Kinect Tuner tonight and see what I can do, before I pack it all up and return it.
