LCD Soundsystem Soundtrack XBox Kinect Commercial (Video)
James Murphy isn’t above lending his music out to commercial enterprises, as he has proven in the past. Here, he gives up LCD Soundsystem’s “Yeah” from the band’s 2005 debut album to Microsoft, for use in its commercial for the Xbox 360’s Wii-like Kinect device. According to this article, the company spent a cool $30,000 building the first Kinect prototype, and with that kind of money to burn, it’s safe to say Murphy got a handsome sum for his efforts as well.

That looks kind of awesome.
I was just reading about this last night. Could be a breakthrough product for Microsoft. Not sure if the $150 price tag will fly though
Yeah, I think the technology is what will be a big deal, since it has voice commands for controlling the X-Box.
