Kinect to retail at US$ 150?

Despite being reborn into its official name, Kinect still doesn't have a price tag. According to a GameStop listing, however, the motion camera already has a price, except Microsoft hasn't announced them yet.

The GameStop listing has the standalone device at US$ 149.99. There will also be bundles for the Arcade at US$ 299, or US$ 399 for the Elite Xbox 360.

 

Aaron Greenberg, however, says that the prices are "purely speculative". The director of product management for Xbox noted via Twitter that "No Kinect price announced yet, retail price estimates are purely speculative, final price & pack-in details are not yet determined.”

 

As it is, that's quite a pricey tag to add motion control to the Xbox 360. The purchase intent for motion control was already seen at 10%, and that's without confirmed pricing. Anyone up for a splurge?

I can't lie I don't see how you expected this to be under $100. Do you live in a developing country or something?

natal kinect is likely to be bundled with games also, not just the console.

The move is not cheaper... it costs 80 bucks for a single controller... a lot of the stuff they are marketing uses 2 controllers... 80 * 2 = 160

160 > 150

and thats just 2 controllers (with the analog attachments)

You ready to shell out 320 bucks for 4 controllers if you have an active family/friends gaming scene?

Let's say you're playing with 3 other people.... and before someone responds saying that you only need one glowing dildo, heres a picture with 2 http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4043/4703954083_cbb9206664.jpg

Each one is $50x8=$400 annnnnd you're still gonna need the navigation control $35... then the eyetoy..... still cheaper? you only need the Kinect for all those people to play.

That pic doesn't mean anything because that isn't how it actually works so yes it would only be 50x4 if you really felt the need to get that many. Kinect usually allows 1 person on screen at a time. Most of the time only one person will play move too.

wow all these thumbs down and i'll probably be one of them lol. The move is cheaper and i will be getting one as for kinect i'm more of a hardcore gamer and they showed a lot of casual games which is understandable i will have to see a final price and more integrations with hardcore titles before i buy. i understand this is a 360 post with 360 fanboys but c'mon grow up both parties had good things coming out gears looks awesome killzone 3 looked awesome why dont you be like me and get a 360 and ps3 and hate on nintendo wii. fuck mario and every baby game on the wii except for smash bros, metroid and dk country

Never said the Move is inferior. I'm actually buying one since it seems interesting and has lots of third party support. Common sense and simple math show that the Move is much more expensive if you're the kind of person that doesn't play alone. Let's say you get the bundle.... 1 eyetoy with one Move controller and some gimmicky game = $100. Since you're a "hardcore" gamer all good ps move games will require 2 of these controllers... that and you gotta have the optional navigation controller if you wanna move your character. that's $180 without tax if you wanna play yourself.... still think it's cheaper?

Talk about being a hater. This article isn't about the Wii, fanboy.
