Anyone tried the Kinect Zoom yet? It's a lens that snaps to the kinect allowing you to play in smaller rooms with less hassle.

I picked one up last week for $30 at best buy (had some gift certificates) and I have to say, it really did what it was supposed to. I found some of the movement was a little choppy, but I didn't notice anything actually in game.

One of the big complaints was how much room you needed, and it seems that, with this lens attached, it's no longer a problem. As the article above states, you can play as close as 4 feet from the kinect now.

Pricepoint seems right to me, too -- I think $20 would be better, but I didn't have much of a problem at $30. You can find it even cheaper online.

amazon reviews are trashing it.
mine works ok after recalibrating a few times, it's a bit wonky during cursor use however.
