Microsoft Adds Zune, Netflix, Hulu Plus to Kinect; Introduces AvatarKinect #CES

Microsoft today announced at CES the addition of three new services to Xbox Live and Kinect. With Zune, Netflix, and Hulu Plus, you'll be able to watch and listen to your favorite music, movies, and TV shows just with a gesture of your hand or your voice. ESPN was introduced back in November for Kinect and is getting some enhancements as well.

AvatarKinect on the other hand will use the power of Kinect to recognize your every single move. This means your eyebrow movements, mouth movements, hand gestures, and more will be broadcast onto Kinect via your own avatar. The magic really begins where you can have a chat with all of your friends in a virtual setting while viewing exactly how they interact. It's basically hanging out with your friends as a cartoon on your television. It's a really neat concept coming to Xbox this spring.
