    Maybe if they stop making crap like this I'll get a Kinect!
    Don't give up on our world just yet, it still has enough hope in it to die for

    Keep seeing these questions come up.

    The Kinect Gems are completely separate from the retail Kinect Sports games. They are not DLC for either Kinect Sports, nor do they count for Playfit. As far as I know, individually purchasing is the only way to obtain them as of now. One could always await a sale as well. They're essentially a mini game based on existing Kinect Sports mini games (from both games) with their own leveling system and achievements.
    I see. Thank you for taking the time to straighten out the confusion for me.

    I have heard and gotten confirmation from several that these games do count towards Kinect Playfit, they just aren't officially listed. I'm unaware if they just count your calories, or if they will help unlock other achievements. Thought I would share that with you.
    Good to know. Hope there's a list somewhere of which ones are playfit enabled. Darts vs. Zombies is the only Gem I have so far and it did not count as far as I can tell.
    Turns out, actually playing a game you want to finish helps you complete it...

    I personally can't vouch for these games, but I think the first three that came out was supposedly counting calories. Of course, I've come to realize through the forums that this application is very buggy to begin with.

    The completionist in my always have the shakes when I hear the word "buggy."

    Ah! I see how I was confused before, thinking these sport's gems were included in the retail Kinect Sports.

    I would read comments like these and think that they were.

    At least if you really enjoyed these activities, you could earn more GS. Sounds like it would be a plus for some gamers. Of course, to each their own.
