Kinect launches today - have you jumped in yet?

Last night's Kinect launch party in London was a more family friendly affair - Leona Lewis and boyband The Wanted played - than the previous evening's Call of Duty event. Given the target audience for Kinect though this was entirely understandable. The motion controller is being targetted at everyone and judging by sales in the US it seems to be doing well so far. There is a relative lack of variety in the launch titles - I am keen to see Kinectimals though - but for me the more serious concern is how much space you need to properly use Kinect. I don't have one at home yet but chatter at the party last night suggested you do need at least a 6ft space in front of the TV, possibly more. As soon as I get one I'll see how it goes but what about you? Have you bought Kinect yet? If so how is it working for you?
