Microsoft Kinect hacked to control the PS3
Cross-console code released
Microsoft's Kinect motion control tech continues its never-ending mod journey - into the realm of PlayStation 3.
Mod magician Shantanu Goel claims to have developed a code which allows a Kinect to be used to control a PS3. With it, he can control the XBM menu, start games and even play them with the motion-detecting Microsoft machine. Here's a video of him doing it:
While Goel's code is still in a pre-alpha state, he's already put it up for download over at PSGroove with instructions on how to use it. So if you fancy running Killzone with a Kinect, go try it yourself. ®

Re: Move
Probably the same reason why, in the world of automotive engine transplants, nobody's ever tried to drop a Nissan Micra engine into a Ferrari.
Pre-Alpha is the 'it compiles, ship it' stage.
I.e., it's not even ready for testing because we know it's going to break at some point.
Or, in Microsoft's terminology, 'Release Candidate.'
