Kinect With Kinect Adventures To Hit This November At $150

Do not want.

I managed to pick up a pre-order from the place that has the giraffe as its mascot, with the 40% off accessories coupon code I used it made the Kinect kit a WAY for feasible purchase.

This was a day one buy for me had it been $99 or less, but now there is no way, its way to much for a more powerful eye toy. No wonder they didn't say shit at E3 about the price, everyone would of bitched and took the wind out of their sails and had not of been pleasantly surprised with Kinect. I'll be waiting for a price drop and see if developer's actually make anything for this or if its going to just another 32x,  Nintendo 64 memory expansion, or Wii motion plus.

too much.

$150 plus a game for entry pricing, not too bad...but I think I may wait a bit to see how it does before I buy. Plus, it needs more games that support it before spending the cash on it. 
 
And what is the arcade version of the redesigned xbox anyways? Those two for $300 may not be a bad deal if the arcade version isn't bad. 

I have all three counsels and there is no way I'm paying for kinect at that price when I just can play my Wii for motion controls.

Seems like a fair entry price for something that could potentially be tons of fun.
Although I'm sure they'll double the price in Europe like always to cover their losses elsewhere;
in which case I'll wait for a December holiday package deal or something.

This is way to pricey for what they are offering, its just nuts

" sorry...but thats too expensive ms "

If it's €150, someone is getting stabbed. I'm more interested in the Move anyway...

Quite expensive, but seriously at that price, I am not going to throw all hope of buying it on release, it is a fair price. I will need too see my money situation. I don't really want the game it comes with thou... I may just wait and hope they bundle it with Dance Central, that would be their best bet.

Don't quite get the negative comparisons towards Sony's PS Move price point from some people though...
 
  The Move controller, the PlayStation Eye, a game demo disc, and Sports Champions for $99.99 
+ 29.99 for the Nav. Controller....  Let's call that an even 130 smackeroos  and round it up evenly, not too mention a lot of the coolest stuff was shown with two move controllers aka plus another 50 bucks, equalling up to 180 dollars US.
 
Like I'm no market expert but eather bundle seems pricy to me. As for me I see some new fresh IP possibilities arising from this like e.g. Dance Central... Not saying people will go like " OOOOw shit let's have a kinectimals marothon...", but still there is potential and I'd rather wait and see. Won't buy it just yet, mainly because... my sister and this goes for a lot inside the "casual" demographic will eat this kinect stuff up, look at how good Nintendogs did on DS despites DS's laughable reputation pre launch... 
That's why I think the Arcade pack plus Kinect is gonna be a big seller, because you have that expansion possibilty with all the community stuff like Netflix and also the titles for X360 for the older brother whom rather likes blowing stuff up... basically the package contains something everyone can use. To me that's a sound business decision.
 
But ye it's just my opinion, like both motion controllers respectively, 'cause for me they tickle their own seperate part of fun receptors in my brain.

MATTE FINISH, MATTE FINISH!!! Ugh, as somebody who traded in their Arcade to upgrade up to the 360 S (aka "squat"), I wish I had known of this.  The 360 S is an absolute DUST AND FINGERPRINT MAGNET.
 
Oh, and that Kinect thing looks pretty cool.  Might buy.

" I demand a Quicklook of Ryan playing Kinectimals when it's released. "

A matte finish on the 360? They should make them all like that!
 
As far as connect goes, I might buy one just for Dance Central alone. Not sure if I'll get it right when it comes out though. Maybe I'll wait til the prices drop.

$150 is cheap,you get the sensor and the game. Good deal, will buy.

I'll buy it, if there are more games in the vain of Dance Central and look like I'll have fun with it. As it stands, however, no thanks.

Not worth it. Once they realize their mistake and drop it down to 60 bucks and the games to 30 then I'll think about it.

Well no surprises there. I still think they need to hit $129 with a bundle before it will sell well.
 
The biggest disappointment is the $50 price tag for games. Those games are not deserving of that price and I think the sales are going to reflect that.

I guess I won't be buying it then.

I don't think the math breaks down quite like that, though. Almost every game-playing household already has a 360 in it, so it's closer to $150 vs $200, which becomes a bit more reasonable (Kinect having superior tech vs Wii having a vastly larger library).

" I will buy it at $99.99 which some sites say will be sooner than later. Some even say it might be as soon as xmas. "

I can't wait to see Kinect and Move fail this holiday season. I can't wait!

I will not waste my moniez on this.

Like I've said before, I'm pretty sure my wife is planning to buy it day one so I'm free of any need to bother worrying about it.
 
That being said, I am dying to see how my son reacts to it.

150 with Dance Central would have been a sell. Not paying 200 for both.

At least we will have some AWESOME quicklooks cause of this thing, didnt expect much more to be honest... :)

i will buy, 
 
 
 
only when hits 100€ or less

pass

" Microsoft must be color blind. Those colors are horrendous. Purple, dark blue, silver, neon green, white.. matches the black console + grey/silver platinum hits boxes perfectly.  They need to keep it simple. Nintendo is pure white (and silver) on everything. Sony is pure black + red greatest hits. "

Ridiculous price theve messed up just as sony have with move  
 
Well at least you can get xbox arcade with kinect for $299 unliek the ps3 which is $399 for one player $450 for two player 
 
Actually comparing it to ps3 its pretty cheap

No thanks!

*Shrugs*  
 
I agree.  It might be worth it if Dance central was in the bundle but not Kinect Adventures. :(  

Meh, everyone pretty much knew that $150 would be the price point.  Other than for the neat Minority Report controls, I don't really care about it.

I will buy it at $99.99 which some sites say will be sooner than later. Some even say it might be as soon as xmas.

Dude, I hate to say it, but it looks like Kinect very well may bomb. Most people definitely won't be willing to pay $150 for this thing.

I may be the only one, but I'm picking this up.  I know you can play Child of Eden with the normal 360 controller, but after watching Mizuguchi play with his hands, I don't have much of a choice.  Here's to hoping for a collector's edition with white tuxedo gloves.
 
I'll get Kinect primarily for that title, and the hope that other cool games will come of it in the future.  Hope it's not a waste of money.

Well, Kinect, I actually thought you seemed pretty cool.  Too bad you haven't got a prayer at that price point.

It's £130 in the UK with that silly wii sports rip off game. The games sell for FULL price here at £40.
 
Now the thing is if they took off the wii sports rip off and sold it on it's own for £90 I'd probably buy it, especially if i saw a game that i wanted. As it goes there forcing a game on me that i wouldn't actually accept even if it was free and over the £100 mark is just too much to ask.

DOA at that price point.

"

$150 is way too expensive but $300 with the new 360 is a good deal.

I already broke this, even the voucher part, in one of the comments sections of a news story  here before the name Kinect was revealed, but I can't seem to find it in my history... hmm. Deleted?
 
Well now it's double confirmed. 
 
Now I'm going to strap on my Vibrams and try to fartlek 10k without bonking .

" $150 for a glorified PlayStation Eye.   No thanks MS.   $50 for a collection of Mini Games that haven't been shown working flawlessly.  No Thanks MS. $200 for a system that I'm gonna need the eventual $100 HDD upgrad for.  No Thanks MS.   I believe that's 3 strikes.  I'm out. "

" @Andheez: $200 Wii v. $300 360 isn't too smart if you ask me. "

I was under the impression Kinect Sports, Kinectimals and Joy Ride would all be one game. Paying $50 for each of them is ridiculous. I'm happy to pay that for Dance Central though, or whatever the UK equivalent is anyway...
 
Meh, ultimately most of us will get it eventually.

Will not buy
