Microsoft Confirms Kinect Bundle With 250GB Xbox 360

Need a way to get rid of $400 real fast this November?

Microsoft confirmed reports based on leaked package shots earlier this morning with the announcement of Kinect bundle that comes with the sleek and sexy 250GB Xbox 360 S model. The bundle, which will retail for $400 in the US, hits store shelves the same date Microsoft's hands-free controller hits the market, this November 4, 2010, according to Microsoft.

No special bells and whistles will be included in this HDD-tastic bundle, unless of course, you consider the inclusion of Kinect Adventures with Kinect a bonus.  
 

No Caption Provided

If a behemoth $400 bundle isn't in your price range, but you really want to get in on the experience, you do have a few more options. You could purchase Kinect device's stand-alone bundle with Kinect Adventures this November for the price of $150. You could also grab a much more wallet-friendly $300 Kinect bundle with the 4GB Xbox 360 S. Do note, though, that the 4GB unit has a matte finish as opposed to the glossy one that the current crop of Xbox 360 S consoles, as well as the 250GB Xbox 360 S/Kinect bundle, has.

Exactly. And last time I checked, it's a stupid idea to give basically your kidney for a stupid piece of shit

If I didn't have a 360, this would actually seem appealing. If only the Kinect wasn't $150...

If I am going to end up with a Kinect I imagine this is the option I'll end up going for.

Talk about over-priced. I hope this doesn't cause it to tank.

This will be a great opportunity for me to upgrade my system and get some Dance Central going.

Seems like the Reach bundle is a better deal.

That's just a reflection on the console, right? At first glance I thought it was themed differently than the other 360s systems.

This will probably be the bundle I go for.  Although I am not completely sold on the Kinect, I do think that it will do better in the future with the possible second run of titles that are released for it.  Go XBOX!!!!
