Microsoft Kinect Price Unveiled
Kinect, an add-on device to Microsoft game console Xbox360 just got the official pricing of $150 at launch.
The device helps players to use only their body to interact with the Xbox 360 game console. the games will rely on a small add-on device to recognize faces, obey voice commands and track body movements.
Pricing for the next-generation Xbox 360 “Kinect” bundle $300 for an entire system. The $300 deal (available later this year, pre-holidays) gets you the Kinect add-on, a game pack, and the new 4 GB Xbox 360 console (Slim version). The new Xbox360 4 GB includes Wi-Fi N, 4 GB of flash memory and the attractive black matte finish. The Xbox only is priced at $199.99 U.S.(starting Aug. 3rd). The bundle will also include “Kinect Adventures,” a sort of starter pack of Kinect-enabled games. There are 20 “adventures” set in different locations – like a whitewater-rapids filled river, an obstacle course, an underwater lab and, yes – that “hit the balls that fly at your face” game that everyone has seen in the demos.
If you already have an Xbox, you can just buy the Kinect peripheral itself for $150 – it is downward compatible to all Xbox 360.
