Default Kinect for voice/gesture input

With some of the deals on Kinect bundles I'm tempted to pick one up.

Pretty damn good deal. But I'm not sure how suitable Kinect is to my setup.

I have my TV/Xbox setup at the end of my bed so theres no space to stand up to use the thing, so would it still be suitable for voice & gesture control and maybe a bit of Forza head tracking whilst I'm sat on my backside?

I wouldn't bother if you're that limited for space.

Hardly any games allow for sitting and the ones that do tend to be a bit iffy on the tracking front. Only played Forza 4 with the head tracking once and that was fine but not something you'd use on a regular basis over a controller or steering wheel.

I'm not convinced the gestures for just navigating the 360 menus would work that well sitting down either.

I agree with Jen. Unless you've got room to stand up and use it properly I wouldn't bother.
